The word was god. That word IS truth. Truth can never change, or it would contradict itself. Past, present, and future, must be governed by im mutable laws. Experience is acquiredby the careful study of history, and the present condition of all things. All is governed now by that same law of truth, which was from the beginning of the world, and ever shall be, What serious lessons, then, may be learned by a careful examination of past ages; and how useful may they not be to us and our chil dren for future ages? We can only judge of that which is to come hereafter, by studying the past, and carefully noting the present.
