But shall the strong man be confined to a
milk diet, because the careful nurse ventures to supply nothing else to
the tender infant? If when for the time our people ought to be
teachers, they need to be taught again the first principles of the
oracle of God, we may reserve pearls for a worthier reception. But, if
they are well-grounded in the elements, let us lead them on to
perfection.
Society's pillars, the temple's three P.s,
Philosophy, Policy, Piety--these
I commend to your notice. My labor is done:
May we meet in that city where temple is none,
Nor sun supervenes on the shadows of night;
Jehovah--the Lamb--are its temple and light.
