Alexander MacLaren Quotes:
Life: February 11, 1826 - May 5, 1910
Birthday: February 11
Death: May 5
He that has no present Christ has a future, dark, chaotic, heaving with its destructive ocean; and over it there goes forever--black-pinioned winging its solitary and hopeless flight, the raven of his anxious thoughts, and finds no place to rest, and comes back again to the desolate ark with its foreboding croak of evil in the present and evil in the future.
