My duty is clear and at all costs will be done.
For the moment and for some time great events have been denied me, forward action not come my way.
I am not ashamed to say that I am the son of a washerwoman.
I believe, however, that impending events will call us and we must respond but where, with whom, and how?
I am depressed rather at the wave of brutality sweeping over the country.
I am only doing now what I have ever done; and ever will continue to do - that is adapting past experience to present reform in the light of high ideals and future objects.
