Genocide has two phases: one, destruction of the national pattern of the oppressed group; the other, the imposition of the national pattern of the oppressor. This imposition, in turn, may be made upon the oppressed population which is allowed to remain or upon the territory alone, after removal of the population and the colonization by the oppressor's own nationals.

God hath work to do in this world; and to desert it because of its difficulties and entanglements, is to cast off His authority.

God hath a work to do; and not to help Him is to oppose Him.
