howl
"The wise learn many things
from their foes" and | only hoped
that out of the folly of what |
have written "tor years the
"wisc" might learn something. 1t
would be Il severe penalty to have
to lose the esteem and conf
dcucc Of ones fellow citizens for
passing out Il bit Of the one thing
i'm this universe that is eternal
the truth. Still, if that is the price

us who are willing to pay 1t, be-
cause We know it can't BE- buried
and obScWcd forever -- that the
harder YOU hammer il the bright [
