"Fearful lest it be relegated to the position of an isolated sect, Christianity seems to be making frenzied efforts at mimicry in order to escape being devoured by its enemies--a reaction that seems defensive, but is in fact self-destructive. In the hope of saving itself, it seems to be assuming the colors of its environment, but the result is that it loses its identity. . . ."
--Leszek Kolakowski, from Modernity on Endless Trial

A PLACE FOR GOD’S LAW

“And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold: inside and outside shalt thou overlay it; and shalt make upon it a border of gold round about.

And cast four rings of gold for it, and put them at the four corners thereof, that two rings may be upon the one side thereof and two rings upon the other side thereof.

And make staves of acacia-wood and overlay them with gold.

And put the staves into the rings upon the sides of the ark,  that the ark may be borne with them.

The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not come out from it.

And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony that I shall give thee.

And thou shalt make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work shalt thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat.

And make one cherub at the end of the one side, and one cherub at the end of the other side; out of the mercy-seat shall ye make the cherubim at the two ends thereof.”

(Exodus 25:10-19)

QUOTATIONS FOR THE DAY

“Great is the power of habit. It teaches us to bear fatigue and to despise wounds and pain.”

“If you pursue good with labor, the labor passes away but the good remains; if you pursue evil with pleasure, the pleasure passes away and the evil remains.”

“Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.”

(Cicero)

HUNDREDS OF “YES ON 1” SIGNS DESTROYED

According to Paul Madore, Director of the Maine Grassroots Coalition, hundreds of “Yes on 1” signs across the state have been removed or vandalized. In one case, a sign was removed thirty minutes after it was put in place.

Vandalism is nothing new to those who oppose the gay rights movement. The sign at the League office was vandalized earlier this year and the League website was put out of operation for a while. But the vandalism of the Left often takes a much more serious form. So-called hoax crimes take place in which gay rights proponents vandalize their own property to prove a hate crime has taken place.

CCLM STORY GOES NATIONAL

The demonstration in Boston over the weekend in which thousands of antiwar protestors and radical gay activists blocked the entrance of Tremont Temple where a "Love Won Out" conference was being held, has gone national. Yesterday World Net Daily made it their feature story, and linked to an article on the demonstration which appeared in The RECORD. Also included in the story are photos taken by the CCL staff, which show the incredible sight of a long line of blue helmeted police guarding a Baptist Church from an unruly mob.
