TRADITION. TRADITION should never have any claim whatever on our religious, political, scientific or literary opinions. Truth does not come from tradition. Tradition is a stranger to knowledge. It is a stranger to genius. It has been the everlasting parent of tyranny. It is an enemy to God, peace and prosperity. To act by the tenets of tradition would stop the revolutions of the planets, thus heavenly bodies seek and obey the harmonious law of absolute truth. Should the moon be older than the earth, why should the earth revolve and travel through space with the same motion and velocity that the moon does when her velocity would not succeed in retaining the designed functionings of the earth? Thus a velocity and a different orbit would be demand ed by the size, form and function of the earth. If the earth was the same as the moon in all particulars then without tradition it would act in time and motion as the moon does. The philosopher begins an ignorant man, knows this to be his condition and uses the many methods that occur to his mind to better his condition by a knowledge of demonstrated truths. Thus he seeks demonstrations, satisfied that they will never lead him astray. Thus he is content to labm days and years with the hope of the reward of demonstrated truths; and when he has received a satisfactory demonstration he adds this to his store of knowledge, until that quantity has accumulated to the extraordi nary degree of being sought by men of similar desires as their· instructor, by
