error is a very singular weapon with which to combat truth it never can vanquish if it when men go forth in the name of israels god there is no power on earth eartle that can overturn tho the truths they advocate men may misrepresent and calumniate a them circulate falaq reports foras fonas for fon AS a general thing men ilove lies better than truth but when men go forth possessing the truths of
