 Does one debase the faculty of his vision by calling on the aid of the micro scope to discover objects too small for his naked eye. or by Interpreting dark ened glass to view the midday sun ? Much less then. does the revelation of supernatural truths lessen the dignity of that faculty which of itself Is unable to comprehend them. On the contrary by revelation and faith the reason of man is enobled. his intelligence is broadened his knowledge increased. Tt is remark able. sayJ noted French author, how few they are who seek the truth. Their greatest fear is lest the truth be useful to them.
 More. inconsistent and less reasonable hy far than those who deny all. are they who, accepting any of the revealed rruths, refuse to receive them in their entirety. You may plead you cannot un- derstand It is not understanding that God demands of us. 1t is faith--faith in Jesus Christ who declared of himself that hc had come into the world to give testi- mony unto the truth. He that is of the truth heareth my voice. he said unto Pi. late and Pilate was not the first nor yet the last, who demanded what is truth and then turned his back on the very truth itself, afraid, or perhaps too proud to receive an answer to his question even from God. You would know what is truth"
