Thought for the day
A STATESMAN'S WARNING
If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, and the people do not become religious, I do not know what is to become of us as a nation. And the thought is one to cause solemn reflection on the part of every patriot and Christian. If truth be not diffused, error will; if God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendancy; if the evangelical volume (Scripture) does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will; if the power of the Gospel is not felt through the length and breadth of the land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness, will reign without mitigation or end.
Daniel Webster (1782-1852)
Nothing has changed, has it? It has only gotten worse.
