“The influence of a good Sabbath service has always a happy influence on the religion of the week. When the daily recitations on the direct or collateral topics of Christianity are aided by the authority and power of the Lord’s day, the result of the whole is immeasurably increased. Like the second column of a line of figures in simple arithmetic, Monday is begun by carrying forward at least ten into its figures.” — Cortlandt Van Rensselaer, Address at the Inauguration of the Rev. John W. Scott, as President of Washington College, Washington, Pa., Sept. 20th, 1853 (1853), p. 44
