It Is A Fact That Unless Children

More From Charles Hodge

Secular schools can never be tolerated because such a school has no religious instruction and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith . . . we need believing people.
Religious Believe School
This whole process of education is to be religious, and not only religious, but christian. and as christianity is the only true religion, and god in christ the only true god, the only possible means of profitable education is the nurture and admonition of the lord.
Christian Religious Mean
Hadst thou no poison mixed, no sharp-ground knife, no sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, but 'banished' to kill me--'banished'? o friar, the damned use that word in hell; howling attends it! how hast thou the heart, being a divine, a ghostly confessor, a sin-absolver, and my friend professed, to mangle me with that word 'banished'?

Rather than seeking total control, relinquish it. you can't run the world, but you can entrust it to god. this is the message behind paul's admonition to "rejoice in the lord." peace is within reach, not for lack of problems, but because of the presence of a sovereign lord. rather than rehearse the chaos of the world, rejoice in the lord's sovereignty, as paul did. sovereignty gives the saint the inside track to peace. others see the problems of the world and wring their hands. we see the problems of the world and bend our knees.
Running Track Giving
Encourage free schools and resolve that not one dollar appropriated for their support shall be appropriated to the support of any sectarian schools. resolve that neither the state nor nation, nor both combined, shall support institutions of learning other than those sufficient to afford every child growing up in the land of opportunity of a good common school education, unmixed with sectarian, pagan, or atheistical dogmas. leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church and the private school supported entirely by private contributions. keep the church and state forever separate.

I have heard it said that families with many children and high birth rates are among the cause of poverty. it seems to me a simplistic opinion. i can say that the main cause of poverty is an economic system that has removed the person from the center.
