Europe is crying, pleading to America to prove to
the world that God lives This be done only through
the cultures, from the last of the Apho and the Omega
Even with all of the Puritan cultures from Miss for
which we can be proud, have yet to produce the

And then, foo, in generations to come, those red
boods might forget thot their woted patient

of the fine arts might stage theatre right here on
our homeland if we give the Aficon his chance show
