But it takes time for the seed to grow, for the Kingdom to come, and we are commanded to pray and work for that coming, that growth, even if we do not yet see the fruits, or even the blossoms, or even the leaves...”

“John Burroughs has stated that experimental study of animals in captivity is absolutely useless.
