    The "word of truth" to set men free, is the fruit of the Oak tree, feared by those who have no part in it. Seasonable is the casting forth of its leaves. A healing medicine for those who have a need for Liberty.

The conventional arrangement makes quite a use of whole lies and half truths. To observe the  earning of the great challenge of adult status is eagerly awaited by the rare independent adult.
