Love suffereth long and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not
itself; is not puffed up, does not behave unseemly; seeketh not its own; is
not provoked; taketh not account of evil; rejoiceth not in unrighteousness,
but rejoiceth with the truth; beareth all things; believeth all things;
hopeth all things; endureth all things.
In fact, _LOVE NEVER FAILETH_. Love is always a safe guide. No matter what
may be said to the contrary; no matter how much suffering it entails; no
matter how seemingly fruitless the sacrifice; or how ungrateful the
results, _love_ never faileth.
How can it fail when we "seek not our own," but only love for love's own
sake, without regard to compensation or gratitude?
St. Paul, with all who have expressed in any considerable degree this
cosmic realization, seems to have expected a time, when cosmic
consciousness should become so general, as to bring the kingdom of love
upon earth. This corresponds to the Millenium, which has always been
prophesied, and which the present era fulfills, in all the "signs of the
times" that were to usher in The Dawn.
