Patriotism Is As Much A Virtue As

If Moral Precepts Alone Could Have Reformed Mankind, The Mission Of The Son Of God Into All The World Would Have Been Unnecessary. The Perfect Morality Of The Gospel Rests Upon The Doctrine Which, Though Often Controverted Has Never Been Refuted: I Mean The Vicarious Life And Death Of The Son Of God.

I Grant This Mode Of Secluding Boys From The Intercourse Of Private Families Has A Tendency To Make Them Scholars, But Our Business Is To Make Them Men, Citizens, And Christians. The Vices Of Young People Are Generally Learned From Each Other. The Vices Of Adults Seldom Infect Them. By Separating Them From Each Other, Therefore, In Their Hours Of Relaxation From Study, We Secure Their Morals From A Principal Source Of Corruption, While We Improve Their Manners By Subjecting Them To Those Restraints Which The Difference Of Age And Sex Naturally Produce In Private Families.

Christianity Is The Only True And Perfect Religion.
