out of the old conditions of slavery into the highway that leads

This struggle is manifest to-dom of thought an1l a larger fieltl of
action and researeh. Go1l having implanted within man the
possibilities of attaining the clesires of the snnl, this struggle, if
persisted in, will gain the mnch wishecl for ohjt>ct.
