Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile.
Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in.

The Democratic party of Florida has put a temperance plank in its platform and the Republican party of every state would nail that plank in their platform if they thought it would carry the election.
