THE STABILITY OF TRUTH. 365 
“Tt is not the truth in man’s possession that makes 
the worth of man. Possession makes him selfish, lazy, 
proud. Not through possession, but through long striv- 
ing, comes the ever-growing strength. 
rea If God should hold in his right hand all 
. truth, and in his left hand only the cease- 
less struggle to reach after truth, and he should say to 
me, Choose, I would fall in humbleness before his left 
hand, and say: 
‘“* Father, give ; the perfect truth is but for thee alone.’”
