Excerpt from How to Get On
It is universally admitted that energy and strength of purpose are eminently characteristic of the American people. It is highly important, therefore, to direct those admirable qualities into proper paths, and lead them to a noble end. But it is evident that there are many causes existing in our country which may tend to divert these noble qualities from their proper objects.
Protestantism has abandoned almost all dogma. The wildest confusion as to what man should believe everywhere exists. As a natural consequence, infidelity and most dangerous superstitions are on the increase among Americans. What a pernicious effect such a condition of religion - the foundation of all things - must have in directing an energetic and resolute people!
The Americans are a newspaper-reading people.
