uNDER the taskmasters of struggle, effort, and constant starting anew, we have been led to a new land where we see truth with eyes no longer blinded by ignorance of the rudiments of philosophy. In pain and struggle does nature bring forth her children, and we who are a part of nature must submit ourselves to painis travail in order to acquire true knowledge, the offspring of the intellect. All our store of strength is concentrated upon the realization of that one end, to develop our intellectual powers so that we may glean truth,s unity from all our contacts with life. We seek to grow, ever to expand intellectu- ally, rejoicing in a new sense of power. Our seeking after truth is a continuous warf are against our greatest enemy, a subtle and cunning foe-ourselves. Because of Adam9s primal sin we find ourselves both friend and adversary, for our weak bodies dread the pain of intellectual effort and shrink from it. Once our intellects have drunk deep 0f truth,s fresh waters, an unquench- able appetite is whetted that can no more cease to thirst after such a pleasing draught than man can cease to seek for what is good. We attain our greatest wisdom when, at length, we realize that we must strip from our minds all the prejudices, the too rapid judgments, and the petty interests that veil us from the shimmering truth that is God Himself. As a parched man ever craves for water, so too, our intellects are never satisfied upon this earth, but ever seek more truth until at last they possess the eternal Truth. In Him alone shall they find their delight. HFCFHOFUHFHFQZH
