"it may be lamented that there is someting in our national character that is not favouralbe to great earnestness in ecclesiastical affairs....The temperature of the times is not that of a religious fervour...We may therefore consider and earnest piety as a quality... which needs cherishing in those who have it; as a quality, moreover, which when accompaiieid with other fitnesses, the state of our country now so depands in those to whom parochial instruction is committed that it ought to be dilgently sought for."- Charles Simeon
