And suppose you had gone forth just as you did in your dream,\u003cbr\u003eand had passed up and down telling men of the terrible folly and\u003cbr\u003ewickedness of their way of life and how much nobler and happier a way\u003cbr\u003ethere was. Just think what good you might have done, how you might have\u003cbr\u003ehelped people in those days when they needed help so much.
