Truth never changes. So if it is altogether new, then it cannot be altogether true, because the truth has always been here all of the time. Yet if it is true, then it cannot be new, because the truth has never left. We are not saying that age is a proof of truth. If it s not new, that doesn t necessarily make it true.
Many old falsehoods float back up from time to time.
Nevertheless, we will always find the truth along the old paths, and not among those paths which are altogether new. We have sought the old paths. We follow some time-honored ideas and practices. They may seem old-fashioned to some. They may be practically unheard of among those who follow new paths.
