the Sphinx 10 doubt the truth has passed
from the pathway Of man in other nations
in other ages and gave protection to insti

II is founded upon the idea that makes
our own people and government peaceable
and quiet. The question Of human rights

unto each man the works it has in its pos
session,
Charity and protection! Charity il was
born before man was created 1t was at.
