The world is in a state of war. Organizations like men are subject to disease, decay and death. When they become corrupt they die, for corruption is elementary death. Institutions, nations, whole civilizations have died, disappeared and been forgotten until brought to light by the excavations of archeologists centuries or perhaps millenniums afterwards. But principles never die.
Principles are essential truth, represented by or corresponding to facts.
The essential characteristic of truth is its steadfast conformity to law and order. Organisms in which truth embodies itself are transitory. They change, decay and pass away, but life is continuous. Truth, like the fabled Phoenix, burns itself on the altar and arises from its own ashes. The spirit and principles of hom opathy have never been and never can be solely in the keeping of any institution, for organizations are continually changing and dying.
