and metaphysical, constituting the commonwealth of 

 knowledge, can meet and agree, that they belong to 

 the same noble army of searchers, that their goal is the 

 same, viz. the truth, and that the truth cannot contradict 

 itself, and therefore that their efforts and working powers, 

 must or should be directed to the accomplishment of 

 common ends and purposes, so as once again to prove 

 the cogency of the old adage, that " in union there is 

 strength," and thus, or so, open up the way to the fullest 

 possible exercise of the graces of " faith, hope, and 

 charity." The exponents of revealed truth, and the 

 searchers after the truth hidden in the pages of the 

 material world, organic and inorganic, are thus brought 

 into touch, and pressing forward in their united struggle 

 of informing the ignorant, and clearing the world of error, 

 their power for good will be increased indefinitely and 

 precisely in all directions, morally, intellectually, and 

 physically.
