Truth Will Prevail

TRUTH is mighty and will prevail. Its banners at times may seem trailing in the dust, but its divine Author allows it not to pass from his sight or memory. Error may stand now with proud look and haughty mien. It may gather to itself the power and the influence and the honor of the world. But in casting the final balance, time comes in as an important factor. Error cannot stand the test of the ages. For a little time it may run and seem to gain in the race, but the scrutiny of the ages, the tests of time and judgment, reveal its weakness, its deceptions, its hideousness. Not so with truth. The closer the test, the brighter it shines. The longer the race, the more sure its triumph in the end. As enduring as its eternal Author, his "truth unchanged has ever stood." With it there is no deception. In trusting it there is no failure. As the doctrine of God's people will it purify them now; as their shield and buckler will it save them from the coming storm of wrath; and as their text-book will it be their continual study throughout eternal ages.
