* Edward Gibbon, author of The Decline and Fall of

the Roman Empire, has attributed the fall of the

Empire to:
1. The rapid increase of divorce; the undermining of the dignity
and sanctity of the home, which is the basis of human society.
2. Higher and higher taxes and the spending of public monies
for free bread and circuses for the populace.
3. The mad craze for pleasure; sports becoming every year more
exciting and more brutal.
4. The building of gigantic armaments when the real enemy was
within, the decadence of the people.
5. The decay of religion--faith fading into mere form, losing touch
with life and becoming impotent to warn and guide the people.

* Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our

side. My great concern is to be on God's side.
(Abraham Lincoln)
