As a general principle you should not force young men to do their duty, but let them do it voluntarily and thereby develop their characters.

Let us pray for those who have never known Jesus Christ and redeeming love, for moral forces everywhere, for our national leaders. Let prayer be our passion. Let prayer be our practice.

Life Insurance trusts I consider sacred. To hazard the property of the dead & to lose the scanty earnings of fathers & husbands, who have toiled & saved that they may leave something to their families deprived of their care & the support of their labour, is to my mind the worst of crimes.
Robert E. Lee
My trust is in the mercy and wisdom of a kind Providence, who ordereth all things for our good.
