"Warning the Clattering Train"



“Who is in charge of the clattering train? The axles creak, and the couplings strain.

Nelson's Call to Duty!



Vice Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson is one of Britain’s most respected national heroes. His twice-life-sized statue is perched high aloft “Nelson’s Column,” dominating Trafalgar Square that was named in his honour.

While his character was not without spot, as is true of most who are elevated to national greatness, his influence and legacy are undeniable.

To foist upon them convincing lies about the consequences of sin, the meaning of life, what happens after death, and even concerning Jesus and the very gospel He came preaching?
