If I am going to face a firing squad, I will die for something that means more to me than life itself. Hence, we must teach our young people rock-bottom dogmas, which are worth more than life itself. And you can make the truths of faith so thrilling, so gripping, that men and women, young and old, will literally listen to you spellbound...
