“A catholic love for all his true people, and unshaken confidence in the divine right of the Presbyterian system: these are things which should never, by us, be disjoined.” — John L. Girardeau, “Historical Address” in Historical Addresses and Commemorative Ode, Delivered in the Synod of South Carolina in Purity Church, Chester, October 24, 1885 — as quoted by William C. Robinson, Columbia Theological Seminary and the Southern Presbyterian Church (1931), p. 68
