“Public utility pleads most forcibly for the general distribution of the Holy Scriptures…[These] can alone secure to society, order and peace, and to our courts of justice and constitutions of government, purity, stability, and usefulness. In vain, without the Bible, we increase penal laws and draw entrenchments around our institutions. Bibles are strong entrenchments. Where they abound, men cannot pursue wicked courses.”
James McHenry (Founding Father/Constitution)
