-- to a dogmatist

I AM---the way,                                                                   the truth                                                                and the life.                                                              -- John 14:6 So, you refuse to change, eh? Then how am I to tell if you're alive---you, who fear all novelty lest you leave the solid truth of old traditions, should know that truth is life. But life can only be preserved  by movement.  Anything that does not develop is dead. Was all the truth already said  in what was written long ago? I'll 'but' you to elaborate on that.                                                                -- Mahlon H. Smith
