there are many grades, and a pupil passes from one to a higher, just as fast as he can accomplish the work required in each grade.

It is a pupil's pride to push on into new work, and learn new things; and it is a teacher's purpose to assist the child in his progression.

Each grade belongs to the one school, and has equal honor in its place. The last grade does not hold the first in contempt, but in high esteem, as having been a stepping stone in the way of advance.

One must learn his A B C's before he can become an author, and though he shape the world's thought by his writings, he never ceases to use his A B C's learned in the first grade.

No Truth gained is ever lost; the higher contains all the Truth of the lower.

Truth has been compared to a cone which has its base in a circle, and its summit in a point.

The circle well represents the eternal nature of Truth, and its omnipresence, encircling the universe.

But as the cone rises to its summit it terminates in a point, so as man's consciousness of Truth is lifted up, he begins to see the unity of all Truth. As it is written, "That in the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ." -- Eph. 1 :10. Christ is the final Truth into which all things shall be drawn. "If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me."

"Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you."

For centuries we have been pleading. "Thy kingdom come." If the kingdom is "at hand," and "within us," whence is it to "come?" It has already come. The Divine promise is, "Before they call I will answer," -- Isa. 65; 24.
