If we were to examine the basic
principle of the great religions of the world, we would not find as much
difference as might be expected. Each points to one central life from whose self-existence
all draw their livingness and without which nothing could exist.
All truth is our truth. No man robs us
of our own soul, and our spirit is already one with the eternal Goodness.
Everyman’s belief is good so far as it is in line with Reality. We have no
controversies with anyone. As we claim freedom, so we extend its privileges to
everyone else; we will give and accept on no other terms. We are scientific
searchers for that Truth which makes man free, and we know that we have found
entrance to It.
The past is behind and whatever doubt
it may have held is gone with it. The future is before, bright with prospects;
the eternal sun of righteousness is ever ascending, never to descend. Let us
look toward the high goal of lasting attainment, fearless and happy. Let us
live in the present, looking neither backward in horror, nor forward with
apprehension—but looking into the present with joy—“Abiding in Faith.”

I very much appreciate my articles and
photos appearing on fellow bloggers' sites, popular broadsheets, and local
broadcast news segments, but I would appreciate even more a request for
permission first.
Thank you!
