He had already seen the apostles of equality and brotherhood ...

But since Undine had insisted ...

It would surprise the dullards of both parties to learn how great a portion of the working energy of Radicalism is supplied by Freethinkers.

But setting all these aside, I assert that Radicalism would be immensely weakened by the withdrawal of declared Freethinkers from its ranks.
