Changes had been made in the book since she last saw it in Sec’s flat, she declared. That Mildred Bridges came to_See’s house with the permission of Mrs. Bridges was another assertion made by the witness “Are you familiar with that portion of See's book, ‘There Shail Be Born ew Race’?” It was published in a paper. Published by See in 1306, a year be- fore he became acquainted with Mil- dred Bridges.” s, Rees stestified that “Absolute Life” meant a life free of unselfishness, unkininess and mortal passion.
