Religion and the State

By Samuel T. Spear, D.D.

THE morality as derived from religion which the State needs will be the best supplied by the confinement of its agency to things temporal, and the entire omission on its part of any attempt to administer things spiritual. The State can do religion no favor so great as to have nothing to do with it, and itself no favor so great as to let religion alone. The moment the two are put in alliance with each other both are injured.—Samuel T. Spear, D.D.
