Spalding responded. He paid a glow

spoke with confidence of the other Off
GERS. He said they had chosen Brother
Little to be the head of the organiza-

reached the chair by any short route,
but had earned his promotion step by

would do their best to fulfill every duty
as it was presented, to be subseryient
