“
I am impressed by your letter in which you ask for a quotation which could be considered by
the boys of Form IV-A of the Caerphilly Secondary School.
“
I offer for your contemplation a verse from the Bible. In the 11th Chapter of St. Luke, 21st
verse you will find:
“
’When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace.’
“
I have quoted this from memory and, I hope, correctly.”
