"If

 religious books are not widely circulated 

 among the masses in this country,

 and the people do not become religious,

 I do not know what is to become of us as a nation. 

 And the thought is one to cause solemn reflection

 on the part of every

  patriot and Christian.

 If truth be not diffused,

 error will be;

 if God and His Word

 are not known and received,

 the devil and his works

 will gain the ascendancy;

 if the evangelical volume

 does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a 

 corrupt and licentious literature will;

 if the power of the Gospel 

 is not felt throughout the length 

 and breadth of the land, 

 anarchy and misrule, 

 degradation and misery, 

 corruption and darkness, 

  will reign without mitigation or end."
