Wisdom is dear becauce it is scarce and truth is scarcer than wisdom. Therefore, says the wise man. “Buy the truth and sell it not." Truth is the resuit of picking that makes the fingers sore and the eyes ache. You have to pay for truth a. price that the wise man says is “above rubies.” Buy the truth let it cost what it may in perplexity, an- guish of soul and weariness of the flesh and when you get the vision don’t barter it for money. for influence. or even for life. \Vhat this age needs now more than any other thing is “truth.” The man with the vision of eternal things that are not moved by the little affairs of man and his baubles. Don’t take it all out on the Germans. There are lots of Huns right here in Canada, and some of them are reading these presents.” Nietsche has plenty of disciples in business and many of them subscribe to the “thirty- -nine articles” and the \Vestminster “con- fession.” The doctrine of force shines in the Devil’s saying “business is busi- ness."
