Paul shall preach what he preached, when standing “in the midst of Mars Hill,”--a God of equity, of righteousness, of justice, of benevolence; the God who made “of one blood all nations of men,” who, alas! to so many in our day is “the UNKNOWN GOD.
Mann references the biblical Paul to highlight the universal nature of humanity and the need for justice and equity.

More from Horace Mann
Out of universal education come genius, skill, and enterprise, and the desire of bettering one’s condition.
Old Virginia was the first to sow this land of ours with slavery; she is also the first to reap the full harvest of destruction.
Yet, by denying education to the slave, you destroy not merely the right, but the power, of personal examination in regard to all that most nearly concerns the soul’s interests.
So far from facilitating the increase of individual or national wealth, slavery retards both.
