‎"But every child in America should be acquainted with his own country. He should read books that furnish him with ideas that will be useful to him in life and practice. As soon as he opens his lips, he should rehearse the history of his own country; he should lisp the praise of liberty, and of those illustrious heroes and statesmen, who have wrought a revolution in her favor."

– Noah Webster, "On the Education of Youth in America, Epilogue: Securing the Republic," 1788; "A Collection of Essays and Fugitiv Writings on Moral, Historical, Political and Literary Subjects," Boston, 1790; reprint. Delmar, N.Y.: Scholars' Facsimiles & Reprints, 1977

Why Study Shakespeare?

Challenge 1 will soon be reading "Through Gates of Splendor" which tells the experiences of 4 missionary families serving a tribe in Ecuador. This song shows clips from the movie "End of the Spear" which is based on their adventure. The four men were killed by the tribe, but so many ended up responding to the mercy of Christ. It is a beautiful testimony.
