ing is specialized and recognized only
when in immediate relation to the state
or condition: or, in other words, virtue
was and is recognized only when asso-
ciated with something; hence, virtue.
as an abstract principle, does not exist.
| have already stated that our present
dav meaning of virtue is eternal truth,
and have also shown that virtue, as an
abstract principle, does not exist, and
that it's meaning varies in every age
and is represented by opposing condl-
tiOns. 1t now remains for me to pre-
sent the question in another form, and
therein lies the deeper significance OF
the term virtue" as it is viewed by me.
Considering virtue in all its various
forms and as it is demonstrated to us,
either individually or collectively, it is a
visible part of the whole. and we find
that the whole is truth. But on the
other hand, if virtue exists as an alb
stract principle, truth becomes a phase
of virtue; for both, as Identical princi-
pals. cannot exist. Virtue. then, is a
part, truth is the whole; and natural
truth is the one principle permeatlng
all things and all conditions. Yet, nat
ural truth may not be the same truth
to us as it was to those who preceded
us. or to those who may follow; for
nature itself, it's laws and conditions
may, Or may not have changed; and ii
so. what then is truth? The answer
from the sage Of Egypt, seems best:
