Excerpt from An Oration on the Subject of Education: Delivered Before the Healing Springs School Association on the Fifteenth of June, 1849 Gentlemen of the Healing Springs School Association: - What was the point of time and place of the earliest dawn of civilization, has never yet been definitely settled by historians. It would seem reasonable to suppose that the Almighty would have continued the centre of light among his chosen people, from the time of the creation of Adam even to the period when, having announced his law to Moses, he said to him, "write thou these words, for after the tenor of these words, I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel." It is generally conceded, however, that He, in his inscrutable wisdom, permitted some other branch of the descendants of the inhabitants of Paradise to be the first to advance in letters, the arts and sciences.
