John 17:15 I pray not that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil. A young lawyer, going to the West to settle for life, made it his boast that he "would locate in some place where there were no churches, Sunday schools, or Bibles." He found a place which substantially met his conditions. But before the year was out he wrote to a former classmate, a young minister, begging him to come out and bring plenty of Bibles, and begin preaching, and start a Sunday school; for, he said, he had "become convinced that a place without Christians, and Sabbaths, and churches, and Bibles was too much like hell for any living man to stay in."
