The supreme judicial court of MaSsa-

the faith that is dominant still.
Mere intellectual power the de-

without uprightness of character may
be more harmful than ignorance. Highly
trained intelligence, combined with dis
regard of fundamental virtues, is a
menace
Above all else. the people still put
their faith in character
They do not suppose that all virtue
