Excerpt from Sun and Shield: A Book of Devout Thoughts for Every-Day Use The charm which Scripture quotation adds to writing, let those tell who have read Milton, Bunyan, Burke, Forster, Southey, Croly, Carlyle, Macauley, yea, and even Byron, all of Whom have sown their pages with this orient pearl and brought thus an im pulse from Divme Inspiration to add to the effect of their own. Extracts trom the Bible always attest and vindicate their origin. They nerve what else in the sentence in which they occur is point less, they clear a space for themselves, and cast a wide glory around the page where they are found. Taken from the Class ics of the Heart all hearts vibrate more or less strongly to their voice. It is even as David felt of old toward the sword of Goliath when he visited the high-priest and said: There is none like that, give it me.
