It is quite natural to hate all that is disturbing and obstructing. and it is just as natural .`to desire the de- struction of what we hate. Nature is egotistical. and the name of egotlsm' is destruction. Thus sin and crime take root in the hearts of even the most virtuous. and if mortals had the power of realizing their first involuntary wishes the earth would fast become. depopuiated. This.` Turiri.
