Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

Our next great primary witness is St. Irenaeus, martyr. He lived near the time of the Apostles. He was most intimate with Polycarp, who was one of the Apostle John's best beloved friends, and from Polycarp's own lips he heard what John told in regard to Christ: "Noting these things," he says, "in my heart." -- C. P. Krauth, *The Conservative Reformation* 736
