James McHenry quotes:

Public utility pleads most forcibly for the general distribution of the Holy Scriptures.

The Holy Scriptures...can alone secure to society order and peace, and to our courts of justice and constitutions of government, purity, stability, and usefulness.....Bibles are strong entrenchments. Where they abound, men cannot pursue wicked courses and at the same time enjoy quiet conscience.

Bibles are strong entrenchments. Where they abound, men cannot pursue wicked courses, and at the same time enjoy quiet conscience.

In vain, without the Bible, we increase penal laws and draw entrenchments around our institutions.
