You justly remind me that one of my earliest slogans was "Mystery is the enemy of Truth"; how then is it that I acquiesce in the policy of concealment in a matter so cardinal? Perhaps the best plan is for me to set down the facts of the case, so far as is possible; from them it may appear that no alternative policy is feasible. The first condition of membership of the A :.

The truth is, it may be, that the very simplicity of the task makes it difficult. The Probationer must cling to his aspiration—affirm it again and again in desperation. He has, perhaps, almost lost sight of it ; it has become meaningless to him; he repeats it mechanically as he is tossed from w^ave to wave. But if he can stick to it he will come through.
