About this Quote

This quote by John Strachan talks to the lack of instructional and religious chances in the Diocese during his time. He acknowledges that due to the scattered settlements, schools and churches are couple of in number, and as a result, lots of people are growing up in excellent lack of knowledge. This absence of access to education and religion has a profound effect on individuals of the Diocese, as it limits their capability to gain knowledge and understanding of the world around them. It also avoids them from developing a strong sense of faith and morality, which can be vital for leading a successful and meaningful life. Strachan's words are a tip of the significance of providing access to education and religious beliefs, and the repercussions of refraining from doing so.
