Human nature Is pretty much the

changing. This fact Is verified and
demonstrated every day in the var

make life seem the real thing. In
other words, we are looking through
the social field glass from a reversed
position than that taken by our fore
fathers and church discipline. The
things which others did and upon
which we looked as horrifying and
perfectly wicked. even almost beyond
redemption, now that we ane Oura

whose OK has escaped. People like
to be in the swim-to dip into the

having to take all the patent medi
