every enlightened man of wisdom will readily perceive that which will
foster such aims as the welfare, security and protection of mankind and
the safety of human lives. Were men of insight to quaff their fill from
the ocean of inner meanings which lie enshrined in these words and become
acquainted therewith, they would bear witness to the sublimity and the
