"Judge a religion by its god. Judge a people by the kind of god
that will satisfy them. If a calf will do, what must be their
intelligence? If nature will do, what must be their emotion? If
science will do, what must be their moral sense? The Christian
religion pays the highest tribute to human intelligence. It calls
men to a God, infinite in every perfection." --_Joseph Parker._

"It has been remarked that the two tribes in whose inheritance
the calves stood are not found among the number of the sealed in
Revelations. The names of Ephraim and Dan are missing from that
list." --_Waller._

"Oh, God, our strength! to Thee our song,
With grateful hearts we raise;
To Thee, and Thee alone, belong
All worship, love and praise.

"And Thou, Oh, ever gracious Lord!
Wilt keep Thy promise still,
If, meekly hearkening to Thy word,
We seek to do Thy will.

"Led by the light Thy grace imparts,
Ne'er may we bow the knee
To idols, which our wayward hearts
Set up instead of Thee." --_Harriet Auber._
