Erasmus
This great man, who was the boast and glory of his country, distinguished himself as a reformer of religion, and restorer of learning. His religion was as remote from the bigotry and persecuting spirit of the age in which he lived, as his learning was from the pedantry and barbarism of the schools.

Till we all come in the unity of the faith
CHRISTIAN Faith is represented by a union of Truth, Hope, and Love. The hope of heaven is represented by the apostle Paul as the anchor of the soul, consequently Hope is usually depicted leaning on an anchor. She holds Truth by the hand, showing that they must be in close alliance. Truth holds in her hand the Holy Bible as a mirror, whereby sinful men can see the deformity of their hearts. With her right hand, she receives the overtures of Hope; she tramples under her feet the mask of Hypocrisy; simple and unadorned, she rejects the cloak of dissimulation, and casts aside all concealment. Love holds the middle place,and strengthens the union subsisting between Hope and Truth. Divine Love is drawn with wings, to represent her heavenly origin. Faith is both created and preserved by Hope, Truth, and Love.
The word of the Lord endureth for ever
The engraving is an emblem of True and False Principles. False principles are represented by the Iceberg. Like the iceberg, they are without a foundation; however specious, brilliant, and fascinating their appearance, they have no solidity. Like it too, they are ever-changing; their form receives its various impressions from the ever-fluctuating speculations of mankind, and from the power and influence of the times.
Thy Word is truth
Truth is represented in the drawing in the person of an artless female. She is attired with simplicity. In her right hand, she holds a mirror. As the mirror reflects objects that pass before it as they are, without addition, alteration, or diminution, so Truth presents everything just as it is. The left hand rests on the Holy Bible. This is to show that it is from thence she derives the principles which regulate her conduct, the source of unadulterated truth to mankind. She is seen trampling a mask beneath her feet. It is the mask of hypocrisy, which she rejects with scorn, as being utterly at variance with her principles and feelings. In the background stands the Temple of Truth, the image of which is plainly reflected by the clear, placid stream that glides before it.

Are you a backer, or a slacker
Be a well, not a geyser
A study in black and white
Ah, that's better
All it lacks is your endorsement
All on the same footing
A lie, like a boomerang has a way of coming back
A pipe dream
Yes, brother, I can forgive
Your wires are crossed
Why, you darling little imp
Within this circle no social problem is incapable of solution
Worldly Church members
What he needs far more than a ladder
What is the meaning of all this outcry against 'blue' laws
What must I do to backslide
Why seek the living among the dead
Weighed in the balances and found NOT wanting
Weighed in the balances and found wanting
Weève caught the shark
