“My brother, this objecting to the passing of a law to bring the Bible into the schools will work against us, those of our faith who are making so much of the Bible. A year ago there was something presented before me in reference to those things, and we shall have to use the Bible for our evidence to show the foundation of our faith. We should be exceedingly cautious in every particular lest we shut out a single ray of the light from those who are in darkness.” SpM:8.
“But it is not by abolishing one jot or tittle of the Law of God that salvation is brought to the fallen race. If God were a changeable being, no confidence could be placed in His government.
