instance. Hence your Inartyrdom
will bear the peculiar fruit OF knowl-
edge that has been hidden from the
world from the creation thereof, be-
cause you had the ineffable fortune
to be the first born meduiu, second
educated as Episcopalian. and third
trained as scientist, after having
been trained az "a bachelor and mas
