A Society In Which Men Recognize No

Political Agitation, By The Passions It Arouses Or The Convictions It Engenders, May In Fact Stimulate Men To The Violation Of The Law. Detestation Of Existing Policies Is Easily Transformed Into Forcible Resistance Of The Authority Which Puts Them In Execution, And It Would Be Folly To Disregard The Causal Relation Between The Two. Yet To Assimilate Agitation, Legitimate As Such, With Direct Incitement To Violent Resistance, Is To Disregard The Tolerance Of All Methods Of Political Agitation Which In Normal Times Is A Safeguard Of Free Government.

What To An Outsider Will Be No More Than The Vigorous Presentation Of A Conviction, To An Employee May Be The Manifestation Of A Determination Which It Is Not Safe To Thwart.

A Self-made Man May Prefer A Self-made Name.

You Cannot Raise The Standard Against Oppression, Or Leap Into The Breach To Relieve Injustice, And Still Keep An Open Mind To Every Disconcerting Fact, Or An Open Ear To The Cold Voice Of Doubt. I Am Satisfied That A Scholar Who Tries To Combine These Parts Sells His Birthright For A Mess Of Pottage; That, When The Final Count Is Made, It Will Be Found That The Impairment Of His Powers Far Outweighs Any Possible Contribution To The Causes He Has Espoused.

Would We Hold Liberty, We Must Have Charity- Charity To Others, Charity To Ourselves, Crawling Up From The Moist Ovens Of A Steaming World, Still Carrying The Passional Equipment Of Our Ferocious Ancestors, Emerging From Black Superstition Amid Carnage And Atrocity To Our Perilous Present.
