Consider then, O Men! Whether there can be anything more wretched and poor, more naked and miserable, than man when he dies, if he not be clothed with Christ’s righteousness, and enriched in his God! Johann Arndt (1555-1621)

No one is so miserable as the poor person who attempts to maintain the appearance of wealth! Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892)
Churchill’s First War- Afghanistan- 1897
Young Winston Churchill at age 22 was a calvaryman second Lieutenant in the Fourth Queens own Hussars. He fought against the Taliban in Afghanistan. He came very close to death fighting there. Churchill blamed the Taliban for Afghans lamentable absence of civilized development, keeping them in the “grip of miserable superstition.” He was particular repelled by the Taliban’s loose moral conduct. They live free at the people’s expense they and, more than this, enjoyed a sort of “droit du seigneur” and no man’s wife or daughter was safe from them! He also wrote some of their manners and morals was even impossible to write about! He also wrote, “Civilization is face to face with militant Islam!” Comment; Civilization is Christ and any religious or non-religious substitute leads to the destruction of any society! Thankyou.
