person's reaction toward the affairsof everyday life.  \nIt is of the utmost importance,therefore,that the Religion,or Philosophy,which prevails should represent the highestpossible standards.  \nIt is not sufficient to be religious;one must have the bestReligion.In order to obtain the highest development one mustfollow a set of principles based upon understanding of the lawsof the universe.  \nCatholics,Protestants and Jews should determine which oftheir faiths more closely corresponds to the divine plan.Theycannot all be true.These good people should unite in accept-ing an Evolutionary Philosophy if that proves,after thoroughexamination,more consistent and more ethical than Judaismor Christianity.  \nThe best criterion to be adopted in discovering the higheststandard is Truth.  \nNo one knows all of Truth;but for practical purposesTruth may be considered the nearest approximation to realityobtainable with existing knowledge.  \nWith Truth accepted as the supreme test,our Religion,orPhilosophy,must be made to conform to actual conditions onearth.It must be based upon the one universal physical andmoral law that applies to everyone.Man's task is to learn whatthat law is and how to adapt himself to it.  \nDevotion to what was once considered true,but is nowknown to have been superstition,leads men astray.Worshipof the Sun,or Fire,or idols,or the pagan gods is stultifyingSuch primitive deities have been outgrown.Care must beexercised not to worship a false God.  \nAll good people are united in approving the supremacy ofTruth,but they are divided into many sects because they do notwholeheartedly seek to determine which of their beliefs are trueand which are false.  \nIf Truth is recognized as the fundamental principle underly-ing a Religion,or a Philosophy—and who will dare deny this  \npostulate?—then the search for Truth is a worthy pursuit what-ever the outcome may be.  \nThe search for Truth requires great intellectual honesty;forit may reveal conditions in the spiritual world as revolutionaryas those brought about by the discoveries in the physical world.Truth-lovers should welcome new spiritual truths as joyouslyas they do inventions for bodily comfort.  \nTruth must be pursued wherever it may lead regardless ofconsequences in confidence that Truth will set us free in theend,however disastrous it may appear at the moment.Theremust be faith in things as they were and are and are to be.Faith in what is must supplant credulity in_what never was.  \nFaith per se is less important
