The great poet Lamartine, has said in his 
travels in the holy land- — The spirit of family 
is the second soul of humanity, Legislators 
forget this by thinking only of Nations and In- 
viduals; all ought to have a home and a 
field The social, political and religious 
worlds are not well organized, but are full of 
abuses .... the age of reason is coming, new 
ideas, new social forms are required. ... A 
religious, moral, social and political body, having 
a standard (of correct principles), a rule, a chief, 
an object, a true spirit, recalling Religion to 
mutual Love, politics to fraternal Love, proper- 
ty to charity and utility, their only titles and 
bases. . . Such would achieve the great reform 
of mankind, called for by millions . . , the Cross 
and the Press are the two Engines that will 
achieve it — Let me add Wealth united to Love 
of God and Men .
