Excerpt from The Prayer Before the Passion, or Our Lord's Intercession for His People: A Study Exegetical and Practical in the Seventeenth Chapter of the Gospel According to Saint John This effort to retain that which is true in the Old and to adopt that which is true in the new may involve the charge of inconsistency. NO seeker after truth Should be afraid of such. One truth may be thought inconsistent with another truth just as one bit of mosaic may be without harmony of colour or shape with other bits but when we know more, we shall discover that there is no real inconsistency, as in the completed mosaic there will be no break in colour or form. If one feared contradictions in one's Own conception of things, there would be no progress towards truth.
