The poor character of our leaders is a direct reflection of the poor character of our citizenry. PRESIDENT JAMES GARFIELD reminded Americans at our nations one hundredth birthday, "Now, more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature...[I]f the next centennial does not find us a great nation...it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces."
Even Thomas Paine, not one who was ever considered a "paragon" of Christianity, saw the real culprit in the corruption of American youth." When we study the elements of geometry, we think of Euclid. When we speak of gravitation, we think of Newton. How is it then, that when we study the works of God in the creation, we stop short, and do not think of God? It is from the error of the schools in having taught those subjects as accomplishments only and thereby separated the study of them from the Being who is the Author of them....
"The evil that has resulted from the error of the schools in teaching natural philosophy as an accomplishment only has been that of generating in the pupils a species of atheism.
"Instead of looking through the works of creation to the Creator Himself, they stop short and employ the knowledge they acquire to create doubts of His existence. They labor with studied ingenuity to ascribe everything they behold to innate properties of matter and jump over all the rest by saying that matter is eternal....
"And when we speak of looking through nature up to natures God we speak philosophically the same rational language as when we speak of looking through human laws up to the Power that ordained them.
"God is the power of first cause, nature is the law, and matter is the subject acted upon.
"But infidelity, by ascribing every phenomenon to properties of matter, conceives a system for which it cannot account, and yet it pretends to demonstrate."
