Good, honest people do not differ so very
much. One great difficulty with mankind
is they do not understand each other. They
are educated in different schools. Some
have no edacatien, some have crude and
untenable ideas, others who have clear
ideas fail TO express them. Ignorance
stands bolt across the pathway OF progress.
The people OF the United States need
schooling. Liberty calls for intelligent
men and women. We must have comm on
standard. The Catholics and Protestants
ought to be taught from one Bible, book
frem which there is no appeal. A book
that comes from God. Under the light of
such a book our fathers founded the Amer.
