Excerpt from Mistakes and Misstatements of Myers: Or Notes on Myers' Mediaeval and Modern History
Comment - This is a unique, though not altogether a new way of applying the Holy Scriptures. It was our Saviour who first used these words, promising freedom to those who retained the truth, but he did not author ize the present application of them. His promise was: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Our Lord speaks not here of secular knowledge, but'of Christian truth; and not of corporal liberty, but of spiritual freedom. They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham, and we have never been slaves to any man: How sayest thou; You shall be free? Jesus answered them: Amen, amen, I say unto you: that whosoever comm'itteth sin, is the servant of sin, If, therefore the-son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
It is not, therefore, inventions and discoveries, ocean steamers and wireless telegraphy that emancipate man kind, but faith and the Christian virtues. We mention this false interpretation because it is being used by a large and influential body of American educators to ih vest secular knowledge with the power to free mankind from all bondage and from every ill.
