  • We can never sneer at the stars, mock the dawn, or scoff at the totality of being.

Anything is better than compromise, apathy, and paralysis.  God give to us an intense cry for the old-time power of the Gospel and the Holy Ghost!

  • Well, fancy giving money to the Government! Might as well have put it down the drain.
