Christianity Is The Only True And Perfect

The Business Of Education Has Lay[ed] The Foundations For Nurseries Of Wise And Good Men, To Adapt Our Modes Of Teaching To The Peculiar Form Of Our Government . . . . He Must Be Taught To Love His Fellow Creatures In Every Part Of The World, But He Must Cherish With A More Intense And Peculiar Affection The Citizens Of Pennsylvania And Of The United States.

Let The Children...be Carefully Instructed In The Principles And Obligations Of The Christian Religion. This Is The Most Essential Part Of Education.

A Christian Cannot Fail Of Being A Republican.

There Is But One Method Of Rendering A Republican Form Of Government Durable, And That Is By Disseminating The Seeds Of Virtue And Knowledge Through Every Part Of The State By Means Of Proper Places And Modes Of Education And This Can Be Done Effectively Only By The Aid Of The Legislature.

I Have Always Considered Christianity As The Strong Ground Of Republicanism. The Spirit Is Opposed, Not Only To The Splendor, But Even To The Very Forms Of Monarchy, And Many Of Its Precepts Have For Their Objects Republican Liberty And Equality As Well As Simplicity, Integrity, And Economy In Government. It Is Only Necessary For Republicanism To Ally Itself To The Christian Religion To Overturn All The Corrupted Political And Religious Institutions Of The World.
