Basil Manly, Jr. (1825-1892) is the 5th essay in A Noble Company, volume 11

"... Manly made...remarks in a graduation address that he gave at Newton Theological Institution in the year before his death: the 'trophies' of the faithful minister’s 'success are not in battles won by bloodshed,' but 'in souls won from sin, in lives lifted and purified, in sorrows lightened and doubts dispelled, in victims rescued from ruin, in saints fitted for heaven, in glory brought to Jesus.' Empowering Christians in their warfare, as Gregory A. Wills has noted, is the 'truth,' or the body of Christian doctrine. It is only as Christians are 'arrayed' in or submissive to this truth that they can be of help to anyone in the world. ... Manly believed that this truth was found supremely in the Bible, which, as he put it in the late 1880’s, is 'truly the Word of God, having both infallible truth and divine authority in all that it affirms or enjoins.'
