There is no uncertainty about it this
time. It speaks for itself, in clear.
articuIate voice. 1t has q pronounced
and decisive ring. Aye. it rours and
reverberates. Words can scarcely de-
scribe it. Even the battaIions OF figures
do it but faint justice. II anyone fails
to grasp Its full Significance he must be
