Wondered Demon Quote by Francis Mccullagh
““I have sometimes wondered, indeed, if there be not a demon whose special function it is to inflame crowds of men to perpetrate atrocities that no individual in the mob would be so inhuman as to commit. * * Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.'* May not the devil be able to say that also””
