“Liberty will not be lost unless life is lost, for the heart of man yearns for freedom and will not bA'content with less. But the fullness of freedom may be long in coming if we permit arbitrary men to dominate our lives and bring them within the circumscription pf their own mean ambitions. I demand the utmost liberty of movement, speech and thought for myself that are compatible with the equal liberty of other .men. If I am restricted, the restriction must be I fully debated in free and open council, i nor must it be imposed upon me perj manently, but be amendable and, in certain circumstances, terminable. We j may not like the crank and the herei tic, but wc must tolerate him to the j point of safety, for he may be our y i saviour.”—Mr St. John Irvine.
