TRUTH AND ERROR
Canon Chandler -wrote: "My title is somewhat audacious." Did he tremble from inner uncertainty? He says: "When Pilate asked, 'What is Truth?' he received no answer from Him Who claimed to be the Way, the Truth and the Life. Strange! Read Matthew xix: "Then came forth Jesus, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, and saith unto them, "'Behold the Man!' (i.e., the Truth). Jesus' words, not Pilate's. Truth ana error are opposites as light and darkness. The good Canon is so uncertain that he is tolerant of everything. Bahai's acknowledge all founders of religions. but believe that the Bahai faith 'is the religion for this age. So they class together Buddha, Mohammed, Moses, Zoroaster, Jesus, eta, all as past manifestations of God. Would Canon Chandler feel that he is testifying to his Master if he accepted this? To be tolerant of error can be intolerant of Truth. '•"Isms" and "warring sects" are, perhaps, partly the efforts of optimism "to escape from pessimism, for life to displace death. ROPATA.
