Time'11 tell, and there's no goin' back f undo any damage done. On the other hand, Man wuz given a brain. I'd hope t' see it used fer the betterment o' mankind on earth, before goin' t' other spheres. I wuz taught t' do one good job before star- tin' another. "One good job, •nd that done well, is a very good thing, as man can tell," is one old sayin' thet I heard preached t' me, a good many times as I wuz a Rrowin' up. Well, the die is cast, and we'11 see what comes o* it. I'm still o' the opinion thet the effort should be spent withe improve ment o' the conditions here on earth. Time'11 tell.
