they are not going to slacken their pur-
pose. And when speak of the nations
of the world | do not speak of the
governments of the world. | speak of
the peoples who constitute the nations
of the world. They are in the saddle
and they are going to see To IL that If
their present governments do not do
their will. some other governments
shall. And the secret Is out and the
present governments know II.
