HERALD the concluding paragraph of
Motifs address which is the most ludicrous
of all: "The men who blazed the way for
the silver conference did we'll. The people
see the citadel of their liberties and are

at our doors. To your tents O Israel" The
blatant ass probably is unaware that he
was quoting from the bible, and vas equally
