‘Do you pray for the senators, Dr. Hale?’  ‘No, I look at the senators and I pray for the country’

Edward Everett Hale (1822-1909), American clergyman, Van Wyck Brooks, New England Indian Summers (1940), Jay p.164

Do you pray, ever? Do you care about the future of your country, your state, your province, any jurisdiction? And as an elected official in any of those jurisdictions, are you a part of the problem, or part of the solution? Do you care one way or the other?

Still a good idea! But as God helps those who help themselves, better you organize and throw the bums out!
