 yet. Meanwhile there must be a good deal of work 

 and struggle, a good deal of injustice; we shall 

 often see the tower of Siloam fall on the just as

 never a safe man to follow; he is always the most 

 dangerous of guides. The man who seeks to per-

 the opportunity comes, to do wrong to us in his 

 own interest, just as he has endeavored to make us
