Bartlett’s, The Conjuring, and “Qua”
Author: Alan Carl Nicoll
In a world with so much suffering, in a world where few are happy and many are troubled, how can I be so concerned about myself? The world needs you, needs your love and sympathy and generosity. This site formerly called "The End is Near." While I still believe that, the new title is a response to that belief. This site is monitored by the federal government.
