towards the oppressed: as young man

cause, and if | may have the privilege

of great JOY which shall be to all peo-
pie. is indeed grand mission. and
some times feel like ''Mark Tapley."
that / shall never have chance to
come out strongly" but suppose that
as colony we will have prosecutions
without and fightings within, and that
the least of us there who will keep
calm and collected, shall be more than
he who taketh city.

just like the other fellows, etc. "Of

to build a little colony of people for
their private comfort and conve-
nience. Our colonies are only the be-
ginning of a movement which is des-
tined to cover the whole country.
