away from old forms and customs and
the breaking OF idols that have existed.
This iconcolasrn in some cases is very
dangerous and creates reverses OF SEN

their fathers before them did them.
She referred to China as nation that
has not progressed at all in the past
thousand years, and to India and Russia
as nations that have. progressed but
