to all our brethren, to democratic
governors and democrats everywhere
to stand fast in the faith to come up

fight if there are no other means to

We're not enough of these beautiful
actions to characterize an age or to
make statesmen perceive the immense

The plant had terminated indeed, but
ii did not grow. 1t needed new soil,

of Moses, that few olives and few

wants of man, his need Of olives and

languished. and seemed making no
preparation for an exalted future. At
this crisis in the career of a principle
there came new being upon the
stage with infinite ability of mind

this long-suflcring and feeble virtue.

was his mother or sister. and his
brothers were in all climes and of all
conditions. Greece had studied art and
war, but this being studied only, not
the love of man for man and God for

new form Of life and thought studied
only kindness between human souls.
