"Of all the wisdom that comes in
such instruction this is to me con-
vincing proof of the power of one
brave, determined, aggressive reformer
toward accomplishing grand and
needed results. A. righteous cause is
ever successful in the long run. Truth
rises at last from the dust and slays
it's enemies. Justice is triumphant in
the end. The majestic torch of civil
ization is constantly being carried in
the firm grasp of some august hand. 1t
may flicker and flare, even grow dim
for time; but it will not be extin-
guished If one hand fails 1T is passed
on to another. Some bearer ever
stands ready to keep it at the front.
Paul is not a solitary example The
force and grandeur of such sublime
lives are never lost but rather in
creased with the lapse of time"
