Surely no sharper grief can be inflicted upon the Spirit of God than when we leave His gifts neglected and unappropriated. - Alexander Maclaren Unbelief is blind. - John Milton, Comus (l. 519) Men always grow vicious before they become unbelievers. - Jonathan Swift I'm from Missouri; you must show me. - Col.
