CHURCH
Illustration★★★★Artemus Ward, the great American
humorist, said: “If you will show me
a place where there ain’t no meeting
houses and where men don’t pray, I will
show you a place where people are slipshod and dirty, where gates are off the
hinges, where old hats are stuffed in
broken windows.”
The point
Where churches and prayer flourish, community morality and order follow; without them, neighborhoods slip into disorder and neglect.
