Israel is regarded no longer as a guilty nation, but as a righteous one under oppression. The prophet describes the removal of the veil of death and sorrow and the glorious entry of every race into a new creation.

Not only would the four classes furnish a field for the scientists, but what realms of delight could be opened by the production of the photographs of the average Annex girl!
