: NOT the statesman's calculation IN

Mr. Wilson said there is DANCE
+ that certain men think only OF IN
material nature of the country, AM
t he nointed out the evils in losing one
n convictions in the consideration on
y of the gaining of wealth. Denim
: citation of evils without finding IN
i remedy was not approved, and Tf@ap
e ~plication of remedies that lett IN
: sinner free was shown 10 be a wrong
We need men who VIII give them
> selves wholly to the public good toda
a as Lee gave himself to the call o
Virginia. Such men cannot fail I
. make their impress and correct grea
O wrongs. I'VE can crush the fire o
i a selfish passion. but we dare no
y touch the fire of unselhSh passion.
