Signs of the Times

with contributions from Henry Kendall Booth, James Douglas, George Henry, Floyd W. Tomkins, Royal A. Symonds, John Milton Moore

[Editorial in the Democrat and Chronicle, Rochester, New York]

Happy is the man who has found truth and accepted it. He may suffer in body or estate, but in his mind he will be tranquil and his soul will be established Sorrow will not much afflict him, for he will recognize it as an illusion. Though his mourning may endure for a night, joy will come with the morning. Through knowledge of truth his weakness will be transformed into strength, for truth is of the very essence of strength, the strength that sustains the universe.

The way of truth is not soft and easy; its pursuit is a task for men and women, not for weaklings. Nor is it a task that, once undertaken, can be abandoned with impunity. Truth is not a treasure that can be laid away in a napkin; it must be used. To know truth even a little and not to practice it is worse than not to know it at all. The man who fails to put into operation that measure of truth he has is in deadly peril.
