We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.

A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.
