No Propaganda or Proselytism [5]

I think there is nothing solid about all these magazine articles – a temporary value.

There is no value at all in these things – people read and forget. As for propaganda I have seen that it is perfectly useless for us – if there is any effect, it is a very trifling and paltry effect not worth the trouble. If the Truth has to spread itself, it will do it of its own motion; these things are unnecessary.
