We have been denounced by the Moderates for having corrupted the youth of
this country. It has been asserted that we have taught sons to disobey
their fathers, the pupils, their teachers and the subjects the Government.
We plead guilty to the charge and we rely on every spiritual movement as
argument in our support. Christ himself was tried for having corrupted the
people, and the answers which he gave in anticipation is as emphatic as it
is instructive.
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth. I come not to send
peace, but a sword."
"For I am come to set a man at variance against his father and the
daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
