'As the apostle says to Timothy, so also he says to everyone, 'Give yourself to reading.' He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own.

Pike. Now next December will be the 28th anniversary from when it all started with a cassette player with a built in microphone back in 1985. I remember narrating the entire book, Thoughts on the Present Revival of Religion, by Edwards but I think some cassette masters must have gotten lost over the years. I never kept copies for myself in those days but mailed them all away.
