The power of truth is irresistible. We
NAV run from il, but we cannot fight success
fully against it, No one by resistance ever
made the truth. false. II is possible to resist
the truth, or rather to turn aside from its infiu-
ence, but it ever remains the truth still. Like
God, the truth is eternal and Interchangeable. -
When truth is permitted to exert its hallowed
power upon us, it is sure TO benefit US, but
when we strive 10 push it from i'll from US, we
lose by the effort. Light is light: a man may
close his eyes, or shut himself up in darkness,
but all around him and his hiding place, the
light is still shining. Those who desire not to
walk in the light" are workers Of evil
while those who wish to be governed by the
ruth seek it, earnestly and continually that they
may be thus governed. 1t is a bad sign to see
men striving 10 get away from the truth, from
whatever motive, 'honesty is the best policy;"
and we love 10 have all come to the light that,
''their deeds may be made manifest whether
they are good or evil'' Men who know they
are doing wrong think to hide by feigning ig-
norance, or making apologies, or excusing
themselves, or by other subterfuges Of hypoc-
risy but if they would let the truth have its
way, they would soon be ashamed Of them
selves, and be led to abandon their evil way.
The world is blessed with the word Of truth,
as with the light Of the sun ; but how are they
welded to error, and soiA cling to their idols -
They seem to think the truth viii suffer by
their delinquency. Not 50. It must increase;
but they will be sure to decrease. However
they may think on the subject, the friends. adj
vocates, and lovers Of truth will come off
"more than conquerer" in the end. "Truth
must prevail.n ""aa
