There is nothing so great that it cannot be undermined and destroyed.
There is nothing so established and sanctioned by age-long, consecrated
usage that shall not finally be swept along into oblivion and utterly
forgotten.
There is no combination of material atoms--no mechanism, however strong
and useful--that shall not dissolve and be rearranged, and take on ever
higher forms of expression. This is, and has always been the unfailing
law of progression, of the outworking of the ascending series. It
involves all circumstances, and all earthly experiences. Happy are
those who take Paul's advice, who can equip themselves with the armor
of faith, which begets knowledge, and prepare to "fight the battle of
life" with courage and fortitude.
