[S]ervants of darkness had no lasting joy in their service. In all of them the will for darkness was a perversion of the will for the light.

What is called the government of the people is in fact too often the arbitrary power of such men. Here, then, we have the faithful portrait of democracy.

Should not the Bible regain the place it once held as a schoolbook? Its morals are pure, its examples are captivating and noble. . . .
