FINDING TRUTH WHEVER IT MAY BE FOUND:  "I care not that the sceptic says it is a tall story; I cannot see how so toppling a tower could stand so long without foundation."  from G. K. Chesterton's, "Everlasting Man"

QUOTE II:  "It has endured for nearly two thousand years; and the world within it has been more lucid, more level-headed, more reasonable n its hopes, more healthy in its instincts, more humorous and cheerful in the face of fate and death than all the world outside."  same source

Father stresses the importance of the 40 Martyrs of Sebaste, tortured because they were Christians and how we're called to follow their example of faith. The 40th martyr, the one who joined them is but one of millions converted upon seeing faith in action.
