of LIES greatest adventures, with the
sometimes disastrous losses, II the
m~otivating influence Is q desire to
improve the world.
A warning was sounded regarding
the dangerous power nations and in
dividuals have to destroy. IT." he
said, IMAM uses his increasing free
dom, and his power to be and do
what he greatly desires. to multiply
those things which will make his life
easy and luxurious, and forgets the
responsibility this power brings with
