These are the mighty men and insti-
tutions who call themselves the bulwarks
of human society, who have taken to the
woods and taken their money with them.
And they have left the people to starve.
A bank in New York locks up 100000

Third-It is reign of doubt.
A savage world is q world of doubt.
AS civilization advances, doubt re

Faith in man is the imperial stamp up

Doubt effaces the image of faith.
