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.

Excerpt from Mistakes and Misstatements of Myers: Or Notes on Myers' Mediaeval and Modern History

To The Student Readers: - Our national and state constitutions guarantee religious liberty to all citizens, men and women, youths and adults; and all efforts to infringe that liberty are unconstitutional and tyrannous, condemned alike by the letter of our laws and the spirit of our people. To the religious opinions of the author 01 Myers' History, the State of Missouri has given no indorsement, and no discrimination in scholastic grading can legally be made against any public school scholar for refusing to accept them. They are merely personal opinions, without a vestige of governmental authorization, and may be rejected by the pupil as freely and fully as though they had not appeared in a State text book. So far the scholar's legal right extends; but he has a moral right which may at times amount to a duty, to repel in a dignified and public manner, the author's slanders of the Catholic Church. An intelligent explanation and loyal vindication of Catholic doctrine by a Catholic pupil will generally receive, as it merits, the approbation of both teacher and pupils; but whether it does or not, let the Catholic remember that his religious liberty is a governmental guarantee, and not subordinate to that of his teacher.
