must listen to the Eternal il we
would redeem our time. His wisdom
is in these Ten Words, and his SOW

who violate them.

plight that seems destined to grow

me that a possible solution OF the

rare genius for propa ganda. they
could confront the whole world with
the claims Of the Decalogue-inciden

For II all Jews everywhere were to
