UNCONQUERABLE SOUL
NO TYRANNIES THAN CAN SUPPRESS IT. "There are no tyrannies that can completely suppress the soul of man," writes Dr. Rufus M. Jones, emeritus professor of philosophy at Haverford College and an eminent Quaker author. "They can control newspapers and printing offices. They can suppress speech and destroy pamphlets, they can put prophets and heralds into concentration camps, or do them to death, but they cannot bridle the human heart or command human sympathies to cease. There never will be complete ‘totalitarianism’ because there will always be human faces that will not merge into the ‘lump,’ there will always be human hearts that will not fuse into the ‘mass.’ There are no compulsions which can compel inner states of mind. There are no dictators who can command the secret citadel of rhan’? free joyl.” .
