Wisdom Quotes from the educator of the founding generation, William McGuffy From no source has the author drawn more copiously than from the Sacred Scriptures. For this [I] certainly apprehend no censure. In a Christian country, that man is to be pitied, who, at this day, can honestly object to imbuing the minds of youth with the language and spirit of the Word of God. William McGuffy, In the preface to his 1837 Eclectic Third Reader The Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are derived our prevalent notions of the character of God, the great moral governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the peculiarities of our free institutions. William McGuffy, teacher to the children of the founding fathers Indeed, upon a review of the work, [I am] not sure but an apology may be due for [my] not having more liberally transferred to [my] pages the chaste simplicity, the thrilling pathos, the living descriptions, and the matchless sublimity of the sacred writings. Quote from William McGuffy, techer to the children of the founding fathers For the copious extracts made from the sacred Scripture, [I make] no apology. William McGuffy, teacher to the children of the founding fathers
