To many, expression is just an unnecessary side dish, rather an unpalatable.dessertf It is not sur- prising' that we find sueh erroneous ideas for they are the consequent result of the wide spread manifestation of a false expression which is only a Worth- less eonnterfeit of the realy and we remember that it is only the Worth-While things in life that are eounterfeited. Some have rejected these eounterfeits and not only refused to aeeept them themselves, but have spent their lives and Cevoted their time to the writing- of books and the estahlishing' of schools in order that others might know the truth.
