to those unnatural men, machine men with machine minds and machine
hearts! He told the soldiers they were not machines! They were not
cattle! He told them they were men! He told the soldiers they had the
love of humanity in their hearts! He told them they didnt hate and that

fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! Charles said.
He said that in the 17th Chapter of St Luke it was written: the Kingdom
of God is within man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men!
In them! He said that the people had the power to create machines and
to create happiness! He said they were the people who had the power to
make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Then, in the name of democracy, let us use that power, let us all unite,
let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance
to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security, by the
promise of these things, brutes have risen to power but they lie! They do
not fulfil that promise. They never will! Charles said.
Charles said that dictators freed themselves but they enslaved the
people. Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the
world, to do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with
hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where
science and progress will lead to all mens happiness. Charles said.
Charles said the soldiers in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
Charles asked Hannah if she could hear him and he said that wherever
she was the clouds were lifting and the sun was breaking through. He
said they were coming out of the darkness into the light. He said they
were coming into a new world where men would rise above. He said that
the soul of man had been given wings but at last he was beginning to fly.
He said that man was flying into the rainbow, into the light of hope, into
the a glorious future that belonged to her, to him and to all of us.
