which makes it demonstrabIe in heal

philosophers has proponnded the
theory that truth lis two.fold; that
there is one tru,n called reason, and
another truth called revelation, bnt
that revelation has no law and is
lacking IN d reasonable explanation.
The result is agnosticism. Christian

That may be clarified by an

he must worship INFINITE good in The
