THE ROCK OF TRUTH
IN THIS article we wish principally to discuss what is Truth, and to show how humanity almost everywhere is being deliberately misled into believing sophistry and error, instead of the Truth.
We deem it almost unnecessary to restate that we can no longer depend upon newspapers, magazines, the radio, the movies, teachers in our schools, professors in our colleges, doctors, lawyers, or even the government or its preachers in our churches, to give us unadulterated Truth. Commercialism and propaganda promoted by private interests have so permeated and tainted all avenues of truth dissemination, that almost everyone today is skeptical and hesitates to believe anything that is told him.
It is admitted on all sides that this is a very serious state of affairs and that unless checked soon our social and national life will be utterly demoralized and will end in chaos. There is no gainsaying this, but as yet there is no sign of a leader or a remedy to save us from the certain calamity that awaits, unless something interferes.
We know, however, that something will interfere—God will not permit His children, His creations, whose consciousness He is unfolding so that in time He can express through them the fullness of His Nature, to come to destruction.
All that is manifesting must then be a part of the process of this unfolding, and while it is difficult to see what will prevent general disaster, yet there can be no question that out of all the confused state of consciousness everywhere in evidence, something new and much finer than anything before known is developing. God will not permit His children to suffer beyond their capacity to endure and only in order that good may result from it for them. If they are patient they will come into that good.
One sign of this is shown in a book published in England that bears the title of this article, The Rock of Truth, that according to the copy before us reached eleven editions in September, 1933, after printing six editions that month and five in the preceding month; a very unusual record for a book of its kind.
