All we've got to do is to believe what
We near. an if ye do that enouen
afteher u while yen hear What We be-
lieVe. we've got to start in beIleNtn'
befure ye can find a reason fr Ne'er
belief. our old frind christopher CO.
umbus hadn't amy good reason tr
belieNin' that there was amy such a
place as America. But he believed In
without a reason an thin whit out an
found it. The fellows that discovered
tn canals on Mars which other fellows
think cud be cured be Il good o%culist.
hadn't amy right to hint there wcr'-
canals on lars. But onc ~ Thin said |
Wondher if there ARE canals on Mar
| believe there ar-re. I'll look an see.
BE IiVcnS. there ARE If he'd Won
dhcrcd an Thin believed about clothes
poles hc'd'vc found Thin too. Amy
kind IL a fact in proof is a belief \
firm belief atthracts facts. They come
out iv holes in tn ground an racks
in tn Wall to upport belief, but they
run away firm doubt.
I'll nlNer get amy medal fr maxim
amy man give up his belief. If ! see Il
fellow with Il chubC on his eye an hear
him hollern'. 'fIoo-raN, I've discovered
a new planet I'll be til last mFl
