Men cannot be well educated without the Bible.  It ought, therefore, to hold the chief place in every situation of learning throughout Christendom; and I do not know of a higher service that could be rendered to this republic than the bringing about this desirable result.—­Dr. Nutt.

What is the Bible in your house?  It is not the Old Testament, it is not the New Testament, it is not the gospel according to Matthew, or Mark, or Luke, or John; it is the Gospel according to William, it is the Gospel according to Mary, it is the Gospel according to Henry and James, it is the Gospel according to your name.  You write your own Bible.—­Beecher.

A single book has saved me; but that book is not of human origin.  Long had I despised it; long had I deemed it a class-book for the credulous and ignorant; until, having investigated the Gospel of Christ, with an ardent desire to ascertain its truth or falsity, its pages proffered to my inquiries the simplest knowledge of man and nature, and the simplest, and at the same time the most exalted system of moral ethics.  Faith, hope and charity were enkindled in my bosom; and every advancing step strengthened me in the conviction that the morals of this book are as infinitely superior to human morals as its oracles are superior to human opinions.—­M.L.  BAUTIN.

Whence but from Heaven, could men unskill’d in arts,
In several ages born, in several parts,
Weave such agreeing truths? or how, or why
Should all conspire to cheat us with a lie? 

          
                          —­Dryden.

Good, the more communicated, more abundant grows.—­Milton.

I will answer for it, the longer you read the Bible, the more you will like it; it will grow sweeter and sweeter; and the more you get into the spirit of it, the more you will get into the spirit of Christ.  —­Romaine.

It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter:  it is all pure, all sincere, nothing too much, nothing wanting.—­Locke.

A Bible and a newspaper in every house, a good school in every district—­all studied and appreciated as they merit—­are the principal support of virtue, morality and civil liberty.—­Franklin.

Here there is milk for babes, whilst there is manna for angels; truth level with the mind of a peasant; truth soaring beyond the reach of a seraph.—­Rev.  Hugh Stowell.

It is belief in the Bible, the fruits of deep meditation, which has served me as the guide of my moral and literary life.  I have found capital safely invested and richly productive of interest, although I have sometimes made but a bad use of it.—­Goethe.

Bigotry.—­All looks yellow to the jaundiced eye.—­Pope.

Bigotry dwarfs the soul by shutting out the truth.—­Chapin.
