If, at the time of the publication of this Scripture, a certain justification cannot be denied, the tendency of Scripture seems to be of concern at the present time, when today a "understanding of the two peoples", which would have to have a lasting independence of the Czechs as a prerequisite, is no longer a question of question. Even today, with a renewed exhibition of the opposites described, it would by no means be possible to serve the precipitated aspirations of the population, as they are intended in the work of the youth curatorium.
