Persecution has a long and squalid history. Il ex-

the heather, and among Protestants as we'll As under
the Papacy and the Inquisition. There would appear
TO be no limit to the cruelty and to fanaticism Of per-
seeution, no matter what the mild and gentle profess
sions of the prosecutors. and no matter what the fun
damental principles Of their religious faith. II il often
the case that those who loudly proclaim their own
right TO think and speak and act as they choose are
the first to denounce and to prosecute those who differ
from them.
