Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Religion in the Common Schools: Three Lectures Delivered in the City of Cincinnati, in October, 1869
But now comes up another question, ' equally momentous alike involving a fundamental change in our system of public instruction. The Constitution of Ohio declares that the public school moneys shall not be used in support of any religious or other sect. The proposition now is to banish religion itself from all the public schools of Cincinnati; a proceeding which would deliver up our magnificent system of instruction to the smallest, least influential and most intolerant of all sects, the sect of atheists; the other sect which denies the existence of God, the Spiritual nature of man, the union of religion and morality and the immortality of the soul. It proposes virtually to place the million dollars, now raised for the education of the people in this city, and the fifty thousand school-children of Cincinnati, in the hands of a sect which denies every great religious belief that has prevailed since the creation of the world.
