* Benjamin Franklin on religion

Within this issue is; "Dr. Franklin's Last thoughts on Religion" which begins: "That the name of Benjamin Franklin cannot fail of occupying a conspicuous place in future histories of the 18th century, will, I have no doubt, be readily admitted..." and ends with his thoughts: "...inquiring of the Doctor what were his sentiments as to the truth of the Scriptures. On the question being put, although he was in a very weak state, and near his close, he replied, 'Young man! my advice to you is, that you cultivate an acquaintance with, and a firm belief in the Holy Scriptures: this is your certain interest'."
