If to ask a question is to express a doubt, it is no less, perhaps, to seek a way out of it.

"What better can he do than inquire, if he is in doubt ?" asks Newman.

"Not to inquire is in his case to be satisfied with disbelief." We should, acting in this light, instead of denouncing the questioner, answer his question freely and frankly, encourage him to ask others and put him one or two by the way.

Men meeting in this manner may still remain on opposite sides, but there will be formed between them a bond of sympathy that mutual sincerity can never fail to establish.

This is freedom, and a fine beautiful thing, surely worth a fine effort.
