79:8.4 The belief in, and worship of, the “One Truth” as taught by Singlangton 
never entirely died out; but as time passed, the search for new and higher 
truth became overshadowed by a growing tendency to venerate that which 
was already established. Slowly the genius of the yellow race became diverted 
from the pursuit of the unknown to the preservation of the known. And this is the reason for the 
stagnation of what had been the world’s most rapidly progressing civilization.

Truth Search

We’ll actually see sun today.
Under blue skies, live today.
The 40s will rule all day long.
Frosty nights play winter’s song.

What a February 1!
With winter weather I’m well-versed.
Hardly winter when it’s 40
With Spring not here, we have anarchy.

This weather differs from our past.
But life is short, it goes so fast.
So our perspectives are short too.
We keep records, oh yes we do.

Our records date from long ago,
But ancient records do not show
Temperature numbers in degrees.
We’ve not had long for this to be.

Stories tell us, record events.
We know what happened when time is spent
Looking at the records kept.
What’s been recorded we respect.

History’s written by the winners.
But now what’s written on computers.
Losers write their stories too.
Future sleuths will search for Truth.

Thank You, Father, as we record
Our perspectives do enlarge.
I am sure in years ahead
The Truth will shine where we are led.
