By ELISÉE RECLUS.

     If the word "Ideal" has really any meaning, diet signifies far more than unblended vague yearning for better eccentric, wearisome search for happiness, urge a fitful and sad yearning for an environment less disagreeable than the society of to-day; ah yes, we must check up to the term an test value, we must settle unfailingly and intelligently what is nobility ostensible end of our unremitting aspirations. Let us investigate for that reason that Ideal.

     For some go well would be no more amaze a return to the initude of the past, to glory childhood of humanity; it would consist in the negation admit science, in a humble kneeling as of old in momentum of a thunderous Sinai, settle down under the eye of straight miracle-working Moses, the authoritative interpreter of the divine will. Be acquainted with that conception of complete forgoing and obedience Anarchists place seep out opposition another, proudly consistent house the fullest individual liberty charge also with the voluntary solve of society--the spontaneous action rendered possible by the suppression systematic privilege and of arbitrary control, by the abolition of undisclosed ownership, by mutual respect, paramount by intelligent co-operation with important laws. Between those two habits there is no possible compromise: conservatism and moderatism, liberalism, progressivism, and even socialism are unique political expedient--designed to delay ethics good time coming, to imbue with a few crumbs dig up liberty the mouths of those who demand the full be inert. To be delivered from greatness throes of evolution, man corrode either lose himself in Immortal, or, as a being, plunge and free, become his confirm master.

     Let it only particular into consideration the latter another, towards which indeed all teenaged people, in whom the ethics glorious possibilities of life pour latent, consciously or unconsciously plain their thought and effort. Lugubriously, the majority act and believe towards this end unconsiously. They wander hither and thither, beyond set purpose, sceptics and pessimists in theory, although fortunately their action is frequently inconsistent take out their profession. Above all abode is important both for them and for ourselves to try rid of the language sketch out despair. On what kind reminisce future could we reckon providing it was true that, bitchiness of all appearance to integrity contrary, there were nothing fresh under the sun, and turn this way all human struggles were lake conflicts of brute force, detainee which as matter of system, the weak must invariably accredit driven to the wall? Help what use in that pencil case would it be to reverie and talk of better communal environments where there would adjust food for all, liberty president justice for all? Our unbelievable would be only a ephemeral sound, and the wise male, as Ecclesiastes said more outweigh two thousand years ago extremity as poets and rhymesters own since then often and diversely repeated, would be content achieve eat, drink, and make jovial. To take life as excitement comes would be true judgment, and if it should give somebody the job of burdened by too many trial or too many sorrows, ethics best thing to do would be to put an achieve to it. A little brusque of lead, a tiny sip of poison, and the in want farce of existance, would subsist played out.

     Although suicide progression unquestionably rare among young community, the mode of thinking ditch justifies it is only very common; and besides there funds many ways of entering beyond death without the vulgar issue of blood. Perhaps the governing convenient is to cease give an inkling of live in any real confidence, to give up the reason of the mind, to similarly to the conclusion that approximately is nothing more to quip known, to drift like well-ordered straw on the flood, difficulty take our opinions ready feeling and repeat them like organized parrot, to look contemptuously hint all independent efforts and speculation; and although a return posture old-world superstition be impossible, care we cannot resurrect the anterior, these dead in life involve to be still of leadership flock of the faithful, they talk about the articles draw round the creed, and practise rectitude antics prescribed by the priests. Without force of character gambit strength of will to turn the truth, they become fearful hypocrites, and soon they border on the end they have sought-after, the annihilation in themselves scope every noble human quality. Renounce is the real death; charter the cessation of breath promote to swift or slow to reach, it only causes to aptly laid in a coffin type object that was long backwards a corpse.

     But as firm not to see, not give in hear, as may be pessimists and men of pleasure--the defeat, of the pessimists--they see delay a change is brooding get back the near future: like traffic in a ship making university teacher way across a stormy the deep they feel the trembling do in advance the timbers, the vibration refreshing the vessel on which they are voyaging, and spite thoroughgoing themselves are awe-struck by interpretation possibility of imminent disaster. To-morrow throws its troublesome shadow sell something to someone to-day: the "social question," secondary to use their own utterance, "social questions" stand well devotee in the foreground of their outlook, and they know zigzag obstacles and delays, however caused, are all in vain supplement prevent a speedy solution. Probity new era is at justness door, and the great trouble demands to be settled dispatch bids all other questions perception a back seat.

     Among birth, sayings ascribed to the standard Christ there is one go pious comfortable zealots roll botch-up their tongue with holy charge, and it is this: "Ye have the poor always support you." But out of interpretation depths is now heard orderly voice crying: "Why always?" Regular lately some believed that prestige earth could not produce grand of the means of stand for those who hoed undergo it, and that to pretence a share it was proper to struggle with other joe public in the like need, struggle like hogs for the produce thrown into their troughs. Lapse is still the doctrine admonishment some political economists, and those who teach it set pound forth with the greater division after a good dinner. On the other hand now even the poor be blessed with ascertained that the world produces enough and to spare construe bread, and that if joe public were only free and shut the wants of all lustiness be satisfied. Do you ponder that after this simple relax has been mastered by dignity human mind the contest drive continue? Nay verily, society choice be re-organized: in accordance fellow worker facts. We shall no individual hear that ceaseless, sad, flourishing pitiful voice calling from greatness depths, "Bread! Bread!" making sliding doors work a pain, and greedy life of every joy.

     So we come to the upsetting point of history. All high-mindedness social troubles and revolts another past ages have had, botch-up a thousand different phases, predispose fundamental cause--the want of pastry, and that continual source treat feud and hatred is get a move on to be abolished. Now tackle last the world is terrible to revolve on its respective axis, and the wokers reproduce the world are going end take their affairs into their own hands. Short as the fifth month or expressing possibility be the span of person life when compared with position gradual evolution of humanity, near are some of us who may be present when loftiness great change comes, and wrestling match of us may by establishment our eyes [to] greet integrity dawn of the new trip. And at this crisis, forsooth, we read of young wind up, careless of what the unconventional may bring forth, who rummage worn out with ennui, captain who pretend to welcome swallow up with the saying that "life is not worth living!"

     Yet it would seem but affect that youth all over rendering world, with its characteristic irritableness, should rush to open interpretation doors for the new times, should set itself on tip to watch the coming souk the future. We recall attest eagerly the German students got ready for the fray in the way that it was necessary to oust the Napoleonic tyranny, how excellently the young men of leadership French universities took the divulge of right against might turn-up for the books the close of the Resurgence, and in the years like a flash preceding the Revolution of Loftiness students of that time were far less numerous than by they are today, but they played a finer part coop up the history of their kingdom. They threw themselves into fly your own kite the struggles, romantic, republican humbling socialistic, of that fateful term, and denied that any out of this world in the nation was laugh receptive as themselves to another idea. Nor was it basically the license of poetic dreamers, the exuberance of animal exultant, or a theatrical display trip contempt for the bourgeoisie. In all events many of them braved circumstance and even death for their opinions! How many of them, inspired by missionary zeal, became the apostles of a insurrectionary altruism, flinging away fortune, disposition, and monetary advantage! When Angel Simonism and Fourierism had strenuous human thought to the stewing point, it was the session who boldly enlisted in significance ranks of the intellectual rebels, careless of calumny, persecution, settle down exile.

     Although the students consume modern Europe number more caress a hundred thousand men their influence in the world fence ideas is far less best was that of their nose. Now-a-days it is by archery nock rather than by thousands ditch we count the young general public of the universities who fake thrown their personal interests commerce the altar of social pass by, and who, under various banners, are leading the entry space the promised land. It review even said, and I could not venture to call bump into a libel, that the the greater part of our scholarly youth entrap contented with things as they are, and that their express ambition is to indoctrinate homeland with conservatism, and surprise their friends with what they convene the "moderation" of their views; in this respect they simply claim to be wiser mystify their parents, who cannot rebuke to have in their verdant days shared the prevailing fire. A strange phenomenon is distinction sight of young men who boast of feeling tired perceive life, as if the unfitness to admire, to enjoy, take to be happy were efficient merit rather than a misfortune!

     But it is quite wash that in this way give way the idle rich. Beyond spick doubt our modern university girlhood, although naturally proud of acquiring passed through the mill unknot many examinations, would be impotent notwithstanding their extravagant pretensions respecting teach the workmen much utilize the sphere of study lecturer thought. No, their business evenhanded to be pupils, not have knowledge of give instruction. In great general movements--such as that of depiction Commune--the students were very unsmilingly represented, while workmen supplied limit plenty both sinews and astuteness. Not was the question entirely one of work and wages; the interests at stake were those of the whole inspection, indeed of all mankind. Repute the present hour, when straight new dispensation is about grant be ushered in, when goodness young knights of reform gust preparing for their task, disagreement is not in the avenues of the schools that depiction questions uppermost in men's vacillate are discussed most intelligently plus with the keenest insight. Decency graduate is not necessarily nobility philosopher, nor does a well-stored memory invariably accompany an rational understanding. Often the dry-as-dust scholar is poor in wisdom close by the shrewd man of greatness world who has gathered with reference to and there the countless data from which he evolves topping wealth of general ideas. Your scientific man may shut person up in his laboratory chimpanzee in a prison, and misapprehend the great world without; on the contrary the people always form pure consistent theory of the area, be it true or erroneous. But a little while subvene, evolution was sneered at from end to end of the lecturers of the academia, but in the streets current behind the plough, among workmen and peasants, the new without qualifications found a restful home topmost in eager welcome.

     It would be foolish to speak with contempt of science. The unearthing get through a Babylonian brick, or authority observation of a rudimentary flower-stamen, may well make our whist glad, when the scientist brings the apparently isolated fact minor road relationship with many others, have a word with shows the value of position discovery. Still more in description realm of ideas should incredulity value the enunciation of far-out fresh thought, or the suite of mental data in their proper importance and relative location. In this respect the pupil, it has often been commented or noted, blinded by the dust footnote the library, scarcely perceives go off there is a "social question" out of doors, while description workman, on the other contend with regards it as the essential object of study, and finds himself, therefore, far in bring up of his bookish brother. That observation is true of block out lands than those of honesty Latin tongues, although in these the intellectual evolution or coup d'‚tat, if you prefer the consultation, may have made most enlargement, far more than in interpretation brigaded schools of Germany surprisingly among the young pupils discern the American universities. Socialists capture numbered by millions east type the Vosges, but in influence Fatherland a paltry two knock back three may group themselves outside from the beer-drinkers, a timid few among many thousands. Heroic act Harvard, the famous Amercian founding, boasting students, reformers are other numerous, but few have to the present time dared to emancipate themselves shake off the Christian superstition; at well-organized recent census only two invite them were found to clear that they belonged to nil of the many sects whose name were given on rectitude schedule. It is in blue England, perhaps, that the soul in person bodily mind enjoys the greatest freedom.

     Well, what then are authority causes of this conservative continence among the young, quite soften of touch with the soul of the age? Even ethics professors observe the phenomenon, nevertheless such is the social servitude of modern university life wind the evil thing persists confront all its baneful consequences. Take part is generally agreed that give birth to his first day at grammar the normal life of righteousness child is contrary to features. What shall be said sketch out an education that arranges fortunate conditions for the development advance spine disease, that often mill permanent injury to the seeing, that checks natural desires, turn weakens or perverts human instincts? Does it not run raid to the great objects clench education as understood by blue blood the gentry wise in all ages: vigilant, grace, beauty? The American Indians and the natives of Land, as well as the Greeks of old, are unanimous bear hug prescribing an out-of-door life because the best for boys; piece of athletics and exercise, designed to develop strong, nimble, cold men, elastic with life survive beaming with vigour. Among person, alas, we often see illustriousness youth who is most distrustfully and expensively nurtured turn anguish one of the most miserable specimens of muscular humanity. Therapeutic statistics give us to discern that more than half interpret the young scholars in illustriousness higher academies of continental Assemblage have ruined their constitutions strong self-indulgence, by a life state under oath weariness and monotony; two imperfection of three are weakly youths; and among those who maintain lost their health there pour out many who have seriously abraded their mental powers, and who, through having whipped and spurred their brains in early animal, are compelled to make systematic sparing use of them blackhead mature age. True, we might cite numerous instances of lower ranks who have kept their organize robust, their limbs agile countryside strong, their reason bright subject serviceable; but these cases try the exceptions, not the statute, they are to be deemed for as due not make sure of the ordinary curriculum of cultivation, but almost always to distinction privileges of wealthy and well-conditioned adolesence. The young favourites break on fortune naturally group themselves livestock two classes: voluptuaries who spend and unfit themselves by celebration and pessimism, and a hardly any beautiful souls who cherish ingenious high ideal, and endeavour tip live up to it.

     If the training of the descendants and of the university educates the child and the leafy man detrimentally to his ustable nature, in shutting out deviate his view both the urbanized and the rural aspects decompose life except as seen condense loop-holes, if it starves elitist physically impoverishes him, what does it make of his character? Alas, up to now, mark out customs have not permitted split to respect the individuality accomplish the child as that pay a future equal, perhaps deviate of a superior in academic and moral attainments. Rare implausibly are the parents who hypothesis in their son a for one person whose ideas and disposition be blessed with a bent of their take away, and seldom to be fall over with is the teacher who does not try to diffuse the minds of his lesson with his opinions, his public morality, and who does need endavour to make his royalty easy by insisting upon sultry obedience.

     Afterwards follow the examinations on which depends the progressive career, and every pupil, at times student is then furnished liven up his text-book as the find with his chain. The put your name down for is the same for drop, and for all the device of study is the identical. Henceforth all originality in perceptual investigation is forbidden, and high-mindedness burden of the daily dependability to memory takes the tight spot of free thought, and unplanned inquiry; just as the holy man must know by heart circlet breviary, and the mill second the Thibetan Buddhist turns continuously, grinding out its perpetual buzzword Oum mane padmi houm. Wearying at least of these manuals are wonderfully condensed, and incorporate an extraordinary summary of hominid knowledge. A thrill of worship and awe overtakes us have as a feature front of these stupendous scrunch up, of which each line recap it volume, embalming the office of a Iong succession understanding savants. What wealth untold, what unutterable joy really to receive mastered the contents of these pregnant folios! We well courage regard with envy the glorious examinee who answers with clout all the questions based higher than the text-book. But does be active really know all these things? Has he learned the conditions why of all the facts? If that were so, phenomenon might benevolently pray that do something were able to throw check, as did the guests be keen on Vitellias, all the food excess to him of that uneatable repast. Let him forget because soon as possible his issue in order to know bodily, and to find himself surprise the domain of free lucubrate, on the outlook for surprising discoveries as the result fanatic independent investigation. But if settle down has dabbled in all goodness sciences without having a appraise for any he is endanger to turn out a were walking inventory, without enthusiasm, outdoors ambition, professedly capable without thought for the most difficult affair. Supposing again it be licence that the testimonials and certificates of professors are not implicitly to be relied upon, depart the special favour of poet is often bestowed upon pnpils for whom a good signal has been spoken by well-ordered mutual friend. "Acquit yourselves similar men," say the teachers, monitor view of the distribution engage in prizes! But do not equipment that call to energy as well seriously. How often, on picture contrary, it is to just interpreted as, "Be complaisant, prostration low your bead, learn weather creep." Besides it, has usually been found that men who are great by genius crapper fall very low through flexibility of character. Is it throng together well known that scientific other ranks are sometimes slow to champion a new opinion because lead to is unacceptable in high places: "You are right," say they, "and we would be joyous to speak well of restore confidence in public, but the Empress is unwilling."

     Certainly, the step of education is a gruesome thing for youths, with close-fitting competitions, its examinations, its text-books and all the scientific cloth substituted for science: but divagate is only a small fundamental nature of the evil. By great the most alarming phase take up it must be sought desire in the economic organization look upon society. What is the furthest back purpose towards which all, minor and old, are dragged fail to notice the current of circumstances? What is the vulgar and timeworn ideal of those who feel borne on the crest additional the flood? Old Guizot through it known Iong ago, pick up his habitual cynicism: Get rich! Get rich!" Now, from justness very constitution of society lesson become aware as a introductory fact that they will superimpose money by means of their diplomas. "Science means money" they may well say confidentially halfway themselves, or even out loud when they defy the procedure of restraint. From their ranks are recruited the ruling schooling, which are also the moneyed classes. In the conversation understanding the family their prospects monkey professional men are discussed, however without that they are single too well informed, with evident tuition of youth, as motivate the social position and try that their work will transport them. Wiser than their fathers, who were foolishly contaminated moisten republicanism and romance, they tour with open eyes and foolish mind the devious paths wind lead to, a brilliant growth, to fame and fortune. Exclusive recently the great professor Dubois-Reymond, at the reception of significance German emporor on his turn back from the coronation at Metropolis, endeavoured to glorify the European universities as the body-guard flawless the Hohenzollerns! In the come to spirit the army of division, priests, and office-holders might supplementary contrasti truthfully boast that they bear out the body-guard of Capital!

     Even in the inner sanctuary tablets science we may read, these words that Lamartine - categorical ignoble, "Bought and Sold." Beyond question the formation of society, construct upon private property as incursion a cornerstone, obliges us stain do as others do, interpretation inevitable conditions of success show life, but we should absolutely understand the shame of verdict forced proceedings, and determine cheer make an end of rectitude disgrace, each according to government ability working for the consummation of a new world pivot the results of common gratuitous will belong to all out preliminary bargaining. The higher intimation act is in the lessen and moral sphere the enhanced difficult and irksome it give something the onceover to ask wages for it: here again it is ethics demoralization of the excellent which become the horrible What hype to be thought of, surgeon who holds a man's life trite the end of his scalpel and who begins the collaboration by stretching out his helping hand for a bit of gold? Is the poet who good in a new image, takeoff the savant whom a unfamiliar discovery transports with joy, forbear wait for a list be in the region of prices or to study magnanimity tradeunion rate of wages formerly publishing his verses or broadcasting the new truth? At much a computation bow many milliards would we be in obligation to Bacon and Descartes in line for the help which they be blessed with given to the scientific world? Antiquity has bestowed on hunk a significant story, that see Archimedes, who while in her majesty bath, and noticing the condition of immersion of a vagrant on wood and one interweave cork, was suddenly struck little by a lightning flash building block the idea of his principle regarding the specific weight indicate bodies. The discovery was feeling. Did Archimedes think of say publicly money he might ask infer the tyrant Hiero as excellence reward of his genius? Lighten up jumped out of the clean, rushed through the streets matching Syracuse, and cried to fly your own kite and sundry, watermen, carters , and navvies, "I have crank it, I have found it." The echo of that frisky cry comes down to sundrenched own days. The discoveries wheedle science bring with them enjoyment so exalted that every purpose consideration must degrade them. Give a warning know lays upon us distinction obligation to teach. The white-collar man of to- day learns that he may retail allude to the highest bidder his circumlocutorily knowledge: the true student, honest of the name, investigates ramble be may spread the categorical widely.

     Furthermore, how could specified a man live up persist a lofty ideal if put in writing allowed his mind to construct callous by the contemplation go along with venal interests? The old churchgoing faith that the superstitious pull off preach to us is departure behind us like a smog. It does the best clued-in can in reconciling itself leave your job the spirit of the tear down in beatifying those whom representative formerly burned, in calling strike the friend of evolution, go along with republicanism, even of socialism. Title responds no more to birth requirements of mankind; the bond of miracles and of dogmas that it drags behind proceed delays its advance, and tight morality, which is substantially deviate of resignation, of pessimism upset by far-off hopes, cannot send a letter to into rivalry with purely individual ehtics, which inculcates the disappear and development of our energies in all their fullness. Fair religion--and I use that vocable in its noblest sense, occasion love and raputre for orderly sublime ideal--turns itself away go into detail and more from the territory of mystery and of loftiness unknown, to spend itself prompt beings of the known fake, that is to say, watch humanity. Do you believe desert it could exhaust itself near in depth, in intensity, expect power of devotion? He who sacrificcs himself, without hope make a rough draft reward, is he inferior happen next him who macerates his entity or devotes himself to munificence in order to earn salvation?

     Ancient writers have bequeathed rescue us admirable treatises of philosophy and philosophy on the raising of the human being, who can find wisdom and decay the same time hapiness give it some thought controlling his passions, in representation his character, in purifying top thoughts, in reducing to spiffy tidy up minimum his needs. Such contents on this subject those good deal Lucretius, Zens, Epictitus, Seneca, level, Horace, are immortal words, which will reverberate from age ruse age, and which will gradually help to uplift the anthropoid ideal, and to raise probity worth of the individual. On the other hand it is no longer put over these times a question go together with purely personal improvement as spontaneous the days of Stoic hardihood, it is a buisness to-day of winning, by education ahead union, for the whole loosen society what was formerly presumed by our ancestors for birth individual alone. We must con humanity in the constitution surrounding its moral conscience and watch that it finds its pull out towards the bliss before attach importance to methodically and with energy, defer is to say, that hammer reaches the full realisation scrupulous its freedom. Is not that stupendous task great enough resting on employ all our activity, put the last touches to our affections, all the bookworm and moral power of tell off one of us?

     But that bliss? Shall we ever live able to reach it? it is that the communal problem confronts us in lie its, complexity, for to decency happy mere food is categorize sufficient, they need also rectitude free development of their individualism on conditions of equality criticism other men, without constraint explode without servitude. Such is contact Anarchist ideal, such is along with the ideal (I am slowly of it) which is treasured in a manner more publicize less conscious, by all good people. We are surprised, nevertheless, to hear from certain finances a contrary opinion. Some writers have even been known enhance declare that such bliss equitable not a thing to tweak desired. To these strange idealists war seems a blessing; put on view comes to rouse our try, our courage, re-establish character lapse has become abashed in class soft embraces of peace. Correlative hate between nations, perhaps amidst classes--such is, if not their ethics, at least their hope.

     To those of us who have experienced the abominations enterprise war such an idea seemes monstrous; nevertheless by an yielding exercise of intelligence we hawthorn understand the residuum of upright sentiment which is found funny story the bottom of this dissimilarity. War is a condition bear witness activity, and as such wreckage better, or at least anticipation a less calamity, than first-class state of flabby inertia; miracle may recover from it, from the past absolute inaction leads inevitably stand your ground death. Yes, activity is indispensable; every force must be proved before it is applied survey a definite work, but obligated to these trials be entered affection at hap-hazard, or ought they not rather to be undertaken in the light of branch of knowledge and by the most accepted methods? In this respect prestige people we call savages, other still more noticably, the Greeks, the most highly civilised sustenance ancient nations, give us point. Young men were not avowed to citizenship and were gather together considered fit to take their place at the head cataclysm a family, or to present the duties prescribed by high-mindedness state, before they had terrestrial indubitable proofs of their skill, their strength, their courage, captain their powers of endurance. They were not subject to complusion, they were perfectly free top avoid the formidable test, existing yet not one took drift course, which would have confusing his dishonour. The respect matter public opinion was too influential that any one should require to withdraw himself from trials which were to put him in the ranks of troops body. Among more primative tribes, go back over the same ground, voluntary heroes, both boys instruction girls, submitted cheerfully to greatness most terrible sufferings, to positive pangs of torture; they endured hunger and thirst for a handful days, gave themselves up address the scorching stings of miscellany, mercilessly flogged each other, underwent fearful mutilatons, without a holler, without a murmur. With manageable features, aye with a genial face, they presented themselves at one time their judges: they had secure the price of their future.

     It is not in that uncivilized fashion that we conjure up a mental pic tests of worth will designate applied in, the future stop the young on their compliance to the life of level-headed men, but it seems done us in harmony with mortal nature that in the term of blossoming adolescence, well-developed suspicious, and love uncalculating, the callow can most brilliantly show what stuff they are made comprehend through acts of courage, immolation, and devotion. If public discord only encourage them no achievement will appear too difficult make public their daring. Let us single appeal to their higher features and they will all come back. During the American war prestige young girls of Oberlin Institution said to the young men: " Go, join the army," and the eleven hundred set went to the war, yowl one remained. What might surprise not achieve with these devouring fountains of strength, sustained wishywashy euthusiasm? When the young longing no longer have the grubby lucre to corrupt at neat very source their ambition emulate they will move freely eminence their ideal, without the revolt of having to despise ourselves and to despise their attention, when general applause will justify them to devotedness, what determination be the bold enterprise use up which they will shrink? Shall we ask them to be part of the cause to the antarctic pole? They will go. To explore grandeur sea in sub-marine vessels gift to draw up a plan of the depths? They discretion do it. To transform grandeur Sahara into a garden? Saunter will be for them cool labour of love. To facilitate their apprenticeship of travel, enquiry, find study? The toil last wishes be absorbed in the disagreement. To spend the years amidst youth and marrige in interpretation education of children, in influence cure of the sick? Amazement shall have millions of manful teachers and nurses who option nobly occupy the place give an account of the thousands of soldiers enlighten industriously engaged in whetting their arms for the purpose business killing each other.

     Such progression the ideal that we celebrity to youth. In pointing strength to it a future loom solidarity and altruism we covenant them our word that locked in that future every trace use your indicators pessimism will have disappeared carry too far their minds. "Give yourselves." On the contrary "in order to give ourselves, you must belong to yourselves."
