Our message is delivered but to tile few in tlzis country, for we are few, and few will listen to wkat we say. It is well for our country tkat so muck of tke trutlz is proclaimed outside tke Clzurclz. 1 am more inclined to rejoice wkere you [zappen to accept a trutlz, tkan to be annoyed wkere you kappen to deny one. Kave avoided wit/z care tbc impulse to snatck lzere or tkere a controversial victory on some minor point, and I lzave resisted tlze temptation to make my pamp/zlet lively or amusing at tke expense of politeness. 1 kave tried to imitate tlze tone of moderation w/zick you have employed everyw/zere but in your eleventlz ckapter. I lzave tried to treat you, not as being a mere controversialist, but as a seeker after trutk. T but you must be merely a seeker, and not an autlzori tative teaclzer, is obvious. Your own Ckurck claims no infallibility, indeed ske kas (it is said) no definite views. You Izave not tier autlzority for robot you say. W/zat you tkink to be Catkolic Doctrine is so in your opinion, and in tkat of sometimes but few ot/zers. Take it tlzerefore tlzat your views are advanced witkout any absolute certainty on your own part, and t/zat tlzey demand, at most, a respectful attention on t/ze part of otkers. For tlzis reason you cannot refuse to consider tke ot/zer side. You nave not yet considered it enougk. I can say t/zis wit/tout impertinence or conceit. You know one side of tbc question.
