6alf the night. believe that If the temper
auce people all over the land would have
nothing to hide or cover up, they would
accomplish more than by using The best
methods that reason or common use can
dictate. The truth Is half suppressed. We
are in axe OF the enemy, and SO we start out
meaning Ia do ccralu thing aud yet pre-
tending TO do something else. The tendency
IS to make compromises. The moment we
yield the devil makes an advance. | believe
in having patio That shall he in acc' RI
ance with the exact truth, and then fighting
it out o. that line If it takes a life time.
