Mark Twain Quotes
The Small Mound I Have Mentioned A While Ago Was Once Occupied By The Phenician City Of Laish. A Party Of Filibusters From Zorah And Eschol Captured The Place, And Lived There In A Free And Easy Way, Worshiping Gods Of Their Own Manufacture And Stealing Idols From Their Neighbors Whenever They Wore Their Own Out. Jeroboam Set Up A Golden Calf Here To Fascinate His People And Keep Them From Making Dangerous Trips To Jerusalem To Worship, Which Might Result In A Return To Their Rightful Allegiance. With All Respect For Those Ancient Israelites, I Can Not Overlook The Fact That They Were Not Always Virtuous Enough To Withstand The Seductions Of A Golden Calf. Human Nature Has Not Changed Much Since Then.
