Excerpt from The Relation of Christianity to Modern Civilization: The Annual Address Delivered Before the General Union Philosophical Society of Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, July 8, 1846
It is not the object of the present discourse, to present to you a summary of the characteristic wants and defects of our age, the supply of which will constitute in part your duty. That such deficiencies do exist none but the ignorant or the designing will deny; and that the attempt should be made to remove them, none but the weak or the wicked can doubt.
