Bedeviled

It is necessary not to be Christian to appreciate the beauty and significance of the life of Christ. - Thoreau

Author's Note

"I am here to plead his cause with you. I plead not for his life, but for his character — his immortal life; and so it becomes your cause wholly, and is not his in the least. Some eighteen hundred years ago Christ was crucified; this morning, perchance, Captain Brown was hung. These are the two ends of a chain which is not without its links. He is not Old Brown any longer; he is an angel of light." - Thoreau
