Quote Of The Day
On June 17th, 1843, Daniel Webster, one of the weightiest thinkers and 
possibly the finest orator America ever produced, delivered a stirring speech at the completion of the Bunker Hill Monument. Refering to the Pilgrim Fathers and the Bible, he said, “They brought with them a full portion of the riches of the past, in science, art, morals, religion and literature. The Bible came with them. The Bible is a book of faith and a book of doctrine; it teaches man his own responsibility, his own dignity, and his equality with his fellow man… I believe that the Bible is to be understood and received in the plain obvious meaning of its pages, since I cannot persuade myself that a book intended for the instruction and conversion of the whole world should cover its meaning in any such mystery and doubt that none but its critics and philosophers can discover it.”
