to all those who believe in a superior force, in the existence of God, who will not admit that religion should be profaned by unscrupulous politicians and degraded to an instrument of State government, finally to ail those who, to some degree or another know the meaning of right and wrong, I am not afraid to voice my ardent conviction; it comes from a brain, and still more from a heart wounded and tortured by the hideous truth; but nevertheless it comes with a force that will only die out with my life.
René Marchand.
