…nd the hope of all, and they put this Creed in the keeping of the charity of all. Woe to the egoist who appropriates to himself a single word of this inheritance of the Word; he is a deicide, who wishes to dismember the body of the Lord.

CHAPTER VIII THE SWORD '* 'nr^HE word of the Lord is quick and powerful, and sharper than a X two-edged sword."
