Do they not know every cheap and questionable book, every slimy play, every audacious device of the person who caters for pagans, every social function far removed from sanctity, every avenue of exclusiveness and pride, every black art of gossip, every twist and turn of the ropes of inhumanity, and do they not attend church and look for the coming of the kingdom of God...
