Chesterton: good running wild

    Commemoration of Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Apologist and Writer, 1936
Meditation:
    The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
    —John 10:10 (KJV)
Quotation:
    The more I considered Christianity, the more I found that while it had established a rule and order, the chief aim of that order was to give room for good things to run wild.
