Look to Truth for Progress.

Progress by precedent is like a
sailor steering his boat today by his
course yesterday, or like lost hunt
er guiding himself by his own foot
steps; the result being, in both cases,
that the only progress is in circle.
The past has its use, which is mostly
for warning. To get on humanity
must not look to the past, not to the
present, not to the future, but to truth,
which is the saGle yesterday, today
and forever"

career of activity not known in the

so large a district. Other matters
have extended further but hav not cut
so deep into the existence of COM
munities. If the dispute be settled
