“The government of a country never gets ahead of the religion of the country. There is no way by which we can substitute the authority of the law for the virtue of men. Of course, we can help to restrain the vicious and furnish a fair degree of security and protection by legislation and police control, but the real reform which society in these days is seeking will come as a result of religious convictions, or they will not come at all. Peace, justice, charity – these cannot be legislated into being. They are the result of Divine Grace.” President Calvin Coolidge, (Prophets, Principles and National Survival, pp 37-38, Publishers Press).
