Rh upon what is pure and perfect. Paul said, “Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” Sooner or later we shall learn that the fetters of man's finite capacity are forged by the illusion that he lives in body instead of Soul, in matter instead of Spirit.

Matter does not express Spirit. God is omnipresent. If He is all and He is everywhere, what and where is

matter? Remember that Truth is greater than error, and we cannot put the greater into the less. Soul is greater than body. If it were once within the body it would be smaller, and therefore could not be Spirit.

The question convulses the world, “What is Truth?” Many are ready to meet this inquiry with the assurance which comes of understanding; but more are blinded by their old illusions, and try to “give it pause.” “If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”

The efforts of error to answer this question by some ology are vain. Spiritual rationality and free thought are the accompaniments of approaching Science, and cannot be put down. They will emancipate humanity, and supplant the doctor's pills.

Peals that should startle the slumbering thought from

its erroneous dream are partially unheeded; but the last trump has not sounded, or this would not be so. Marvels, calamities, and sin will much more abound, as Truth urges upon mortals its resisted claims; but the aggravation of error foretells its doom, and foreshadows the triumph of Truth. Truth will overturn, until “He whose right it is shall reign.”
