A story for every day...

Two workers, one pagan, the other Christian, were in the service of the same master. When the latter had gone away, the first said to his companion: “The master has gone, let us stop working. – No,” replied the latter, “my master has not left; he sees me from heaven.” And he continued to work, while the pagan was lazy. – This is how religion makes man’s conscience delicate, and it is with good reason that someone said: The best organized police force is not capable of replacing the most elementary catechism.

– Religion makes man conscientious and turns him away from crime.
