Hope Quote by R.M. Ballantyne
““I began my tale in the hope that I might produce something to interest the young (perchance, also, the old) in a most momentous case—the total abolition of the African slave-trade. I close it with the prayer that God may make it a tooth in the file which shall eventually cut the chain of slavery, and set the black man free.””
![“[N]early all that we call human history—money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery—[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.” quote by C.S. Lewis](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4b7/c-s-lewis-121_christianity_n-early-all-that-we-call-human-history-m_170233.jpg)
