The
Bible has been the Magna Charta of the poor and of the oppressed. Down to modern times, no state has had a
constitution in which the interests of the people are so largely taken into
account; in which the duties, so much more than the privileges, of rulers are
insisted upon, as that drawn up for Israel in Deuteronomy and Leviticus. Nowhere is the fundamental truth, that the
welfare of the state, in the long run, depends upon the righteousness of the
citizen, so strongly laid down. The
Bible is the most democratic book in the world.
