I can do it, anyone can! Seriously, just put your mind to things,
have faith, patience, trust and good things will happen.

start sucking. My days are numbered. I'm just trying to get as
far down the road as I can. ~ Ron Thal

He is now living according to the will of God as he understands it from the written Word. Of such a one it may be said that every act of his life is or can be as truly sacred as prayer or baptism or the Lord's Supper.

The Concord public library committee deserve well of the public by their action in banishing Mark Twain's new book, Huckleberry Finn, on the ground that it is trashy and vicious. It is time that this influential pseudonym should cease to carry into homes and libraries unworthy productions… The advertising samples of this book, which have disfigured the Century magazine, are enough to tell any reader how offensive the whole thing must be.
