must confess brought me more understanding of the problems of life than 1 had gathered from all other sources. For one thing it disclosed the fact that Catholicism and Protestantism differ more in form than they do in effect: that both are founded on exactly 8 the same cause, which is Christianity. But this was by no means all, nor was it the most important of my discoveries, for my research led, of necessity, in many directions, and forced me into the field of biology where I learned much that I needed to know about life in general and the human being in particular. My research led, also, to the study of Darwins hypothesis of evolution, as outlined in his Origin of Species, and this, in turn, led to a much wider analysis of the subject of psychology than that which I had previously made. As I began to reach out in this direction and that, for knowledge, my mind began to unfold and broaden with such alarming rapidity that I practically found it necessary to - Wipe the slate of what I believed to be my previously gathered knowledge, and to unlearn much that I bad previously believed to be truth.

I then recalled a conversation between the late Senator Robert L. Taylor and myself, in which we were discussing the subject of politics. It was a friendly discussion, as we were of the same political faith, but th
