Quote of the day...

“That the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, that the way of life held up in the Christian system, is calculated for the most complete happiness that can be enjoyed in this mortal state… I have therefore no particular advice to leave with my children upon this subject, saving that they deliberately and conscientiously, in the beginning of life, determine for themselves, with which denomination of Christians they can, the most devoutly and profitably worship God… That distinguished abilities, stations and authority are only desirable as occasions of doing greater private and public good, but that their footsteps being invariable masked with envy and opposition, make them enemies to private peace, and therefore unless public life is evidently pointed out by divine providence it should rather be avoided than coveted.”[1]
