Perfection gained slowly

In the midst of imperfection, perfection is seen and acknowledged only by degrees. The ages must slowly work up to perfection. How long it must be before we arrive at the demonstration of scien- tific being, no man knoweth, - not even "the Son but the Father;" but the false claim of error con- tinues its delusions until the goal of goodness is assidu- ously earned and won.
