CHANGE OF HEART-A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT
deer's outburst would not be possible.

It is man's distinction to have developed his sense of pity, to have established compassion as a great humanistic ideal.

We have also acquainted ourselves with the results thereof. In view of all this, it may be safely concluded that "change of heart" is man's greatest accom. plishment.
