It is a controversy that "evokes to conjecturing every living per- whose milad is sufficiently rational to ponder problems of minor significance.

Here, for instance, is my own unshakable belief. There is death; and I am constrained to hold that opinion not out of any- thing in the nature of religious fervour, but because of my own Interpretation of those instincts that have guided or misguided me during my life thus far.

Instinct is, that which I have inherited. It has come from some previous life, about which I have only 3 yague, shadowy. notion.

Compromise and toleration are two of the most vital attributes of the perfect life. Each one may demand tremendous courage in in this life. the evincing of it. It is not easy to accept rebuke or handicap while convinced that one's attitude is right and when there tangible reward for the exercising of those two attributes.
