James Gillespie Blaine (1830-1893), was the Secretary of State under Presidents Garfield and Harrison, as well as the Speaker of the House and a Congressman for twenty years. In Columbus and Columbia, a Pictorial History of the Man and the Nation, the Hon. James G. Blaine writes:

“No proverb ever supplanted the patience of Job or the wisdom of Solomon.... Moses has never been surpassed in statesmanship.

"A scientific theology is pointing out the footprints of the Creator to common sense. The brotherhood of man, the Fatherhood of God, is becoming the corner-stone of religion, as revealed in Christ, and as clearly traced in human history.” ¹
