tables of contents. Therefore every age has torn off some of the
ancient outer things, and insisted at last on truth alone. More
than during all the centuries before, men today demand reality--
just the essential reality a human soul craves, and can recognize,
and can use in the building of its life.

Henry Drummond spoke of the adjustment which a great telescope
needs for photographing the stars. Let us think of one fixed star.
"No adjustment is ever required on behalf of the star. That is one
great fixed point in this shifting universe. But the WORLD MOVES.
And each day, each hour, demands a further motion and adjustment
of the soul. A telescope in an observatory follows a star by
clock-work, but the clock-work of the soul is the WILL." The world
and the man must WILL TO ADJUST TO TRUTH if they would really find
and know Truth.


THE WORLD ADJUSTING TO TRUTH.


I hold that the world to-day, more perfectly than ever before, is
urging an accurate adjustment of the human soul to truth--that
which alone the body demands for health, the mind for development,
the deeper self for peace and power.

The old adjustments no longer satisfy. Truth is, indeed, eternal,
but our relation must keep pace with it as we swing through the
vast heavens of time. The photographs of yesterday do not speak
correctly for to-day. We do not deny the stars; we only deny the
science that is past.
