Because otherwise I'll wait until you're asleep; sew you into the bed; and beat you to death with a frying pan." Until he died, I am told, my grandfather was a gentle man.

• More than ever before, we need to learn and apply the principles of economic self-reliance. We do not know when the crisis involving sickness or unemployment may affect our own circumstances.

For this reason the Brethren have repeatedly stressed a 'back to basics' program for temporal and spiritual welfare.

But be forewarned: Those who look on the world with love will need a handkerchief, not to use as a blindfold, but to blow their nose and dry their tears.

It is a composition between the reader and the writer in which the reader "rewrites" the text making a determined effort not to betray the author's spirit.
