The Christian faith from the beginning, is sacrifice: the sacrifice of all freedom, all price, all self-confidence of spirit; it is at the same time subjection, self-derision, and self-mutilation…

YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $19.95. If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

True story (I swear!): Years ago while working on my master's degree in math, I rented a room from a guy about my age who was defraying the cost of his mortgage by renting a couple of the spare rooms. The other renter was from Africa. He spoke excellent English and had a vocabulary almost as large as mine. In fact, the African and I could easily talk above our landlord's head, which used to exasperate him and amuse us. "I believe I shall indulge my peripatetic predelictions with a postprandial perambulation." Yes, geeky and pompous, all at once. Our landlord would fleer at us and demand that we cut it out.
He was a journalism major. He could have been president (and better than the one we have).
