Then when someone mentioned Machen, I remembered that Clark kept referring to Machen's book.

Yet of course Machen was much villified in his day. It'd be nice if he could come back long enough to say, "Yeah, well -- told you."DJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-1138902551311501822006-02-02T09:49:00.000-08:002006-02-02T09:49:00.000-08:00Pyro T-shirts the hot treat this year @ the conf?Pyro T-shirts the hot treat this year @ the conf?Castusfumushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09496477155977016899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-1138901843845063252006-02-02T09:37:00.000-08:002006-02-02T09:37:00.000-08:00I'm just a little torn.
