Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

But perfect peace and perfect purity never can go together on earth: I came not to bring peace, but a sword. Peace with God, peace with our own conscience - these we may have; but peace with Satan, peace with heresy, peace with persistent ignorance, error, and unreasonableness, we can never have - and these will rise as long as man is man. -- C. P. Krauth, *Free Lutheran Diet* p. 42

  1. Fr. Weedon, is the following the full title of this book you're referencing? If so, what else is in it? It might make a nice addition to my library.
    FIRST FREE LUTHERAN DIET IN AMERICA: PHILADELPHIA, DECEMBER 27-28, 1877. THE ESSAYS, DEBATES AND PROCEEDINGS.
