The greatest responsibility in this world that God has laid upon us is to seek after our dead.

Patience is heavenly, obedience is noble, forgiveness is merciful, and exaltation is godly; and he that holds out faithful to the end shall in no wise lose his reward. A good man will endure all things to honor Christ, and even dispose of the whole world, and all in it, to save his soul.

The flavor of patriotism depends upon its habitat.
