It’s really not a difficult decision when you reflect on it, … The situation is just so tenuous with where it’s going to hit. You don’t want to take any chances.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Decision Reflection Want
It is not God’s way that great blessings should descend without the sacrifice first of great sufferings. If the truth is to be spread to any wide extent among the people, how can we dream, how can we hope, that trial and trouble shall not accompany its going forth.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN
