there are thousands of facts that give

Were no other proof of the uncertainty
of opinion, the fact that 1t causes so
much dispute is sufficient. Truth
causes no dispute. Think of two meD
quarreling over two and two make
four, action and recreation are equal,
water seeks its own level, or the god

the platform of truth, but as soon as
they make platform of opinion they
are at swords points. 1t is so in re-
ligion, politics, industry. society.
There is no true faith In anything
that is not based on love. When we
see men quarreling about religion they
are the devils own agents. They will
never get truth that way. Truth
comes through the heart The three
things that combine in God are faith,
truth. love, and the greatest Of these
is love, for without il the other two
are impossible. When IL makes you
mad to have someone differ with you.

worth while for those who remain.
