To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is in our country always a desire on the part of the majority for good government, but there is little unity among those who constitute this majority. This grouping of churches about the state would give us unity with variety, and the public life which is now too often debased would be ennobled. The great trouble with us is that the state does not receive our affections. Our treasure is elsewhere and where our treasure is there also is our heart. Our interests are too diverse. We are enga...ged in various business enterprises like railways, gas works, electric lighting works, etc. , which have interests by no means identical with those of the pub- lic, and even in education we have erected a means of division in the denominational college. We win money in industries which must fight the state and then give money to sectarian institutions which continue to fight the state. What kind of a public life have we a right to expect under such circumstances ? The measure which I propose would tend to strengthen public institutions, to induce men and women to make generous gifts to them and thus to bring to the state that feeling, that warm affection, which the noblest patriots have ever cherished.
