 by it as the mountain stands when the storm rages 

 around its unshaken summit.

 and when, through the ennobling tendency of their 

 study, we have reached that transcendent order of 

 truth to which all other truth is accessory, society 

 will be on the highway to social and political pros- 

 perity.
