Why not call the sun the moon?
Or call coffee tea?
Why not call a cat a dog
Or a bird a bee?

Why not call all boys girls?
Call all Mamas Dad,
Call all opera rock ’n’ roll,
Call a lass a lad?

Say there is no climate change.
The truth will set you free.
The world is flat, so that is that,
And Hazel’s twenty-three.

Dear Reader,

You have a decision to make: double or nothing.

For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.

In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.

So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?

Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
