Cultivating abilities of expression in speaking and writing. Developing literary tastes and sensitivities of the highest quality. Instilling a love of the Bible, of classics, and of all types of literature. It is characterized by its artistic, its suggestive, its permanent qualities. Its two tests are its universal interest and its personal style.
Literature is the highest quality of language for any nation.
The Bible is the model for all literature, the most excellent standard. The Bible contains every type of literature. He looks deeper, sees truth and beauty where we see only dead grass, and he reflects what he sees in a little poem in which the hay tells its own story. In the same pleasing, surprising way all artistic work must be a kind of revelation. It is not so much what it says as what it awakens in us that constitutes its charm.
