seek
reality. The contemporaneous religious beliefs differ because of their
allegiance to dogma. It is necessary, therefore, to abandon imitations and
seek their fundamental reality.

Second, the oneness of humanity. All human creatures are the servants of
God. All are submerged in the sea of His mercy. The Creator of all is one
God; the Provider, the Giver, the Protector of all is one God. He is kind
to all; why should we be unkind? All live beneath the shadow of His love;
why should we hate each other? There are certain people who are ignorant;
they must be educated. Some are like children; they must be trained and
educated until they reach maturity. Others are sickly, intellectually ill,
spiritually ill; they must be treated and healed. But all are the servants
of God.

Third, religion must be conducive to love of all, the cause of fellowship,
unity and light. If it be the cause of enmity, bloodshed and hatred, its
nonbeing is better than its being, its nonexistence better than its
existence. Religion and science conform and agree. If a question of
religion violates reason and does not agree with science, it is
imagination and not worthy of credence.

Fourth, equality between men and women. In all degrees they are equal. The
readjustment of the economic laws for the livelihood of man must be
effected in order that all humanity may live in the greatest happiness
according to their respective degrees.

Fifth, spiritual brotherhood. All mankind must attain to spiritual
fraternity--that is to say, fraternity in the Holy Spirit--for patriotic,
racial and political fraternity are of no avail. Their results are meager;
but divine fraternity, spiritual fraternity, is the cause of unity and
amity among mankind. As heretofore material civilization has been
extended, the divine civilization must now be promulgated. Until the two
agree, real happiness among mankind will be unknown. By mere intellectual
development and power of reason, man cannot attain to his fullest
degree--that is to say, by means of intellect alone he cannot accomplish
the progress effected by religion. For the philosophers of the past strove
in vain to revivify the world of mankind through the intellectual faculty.
The most of which they were capable was educating themselves and a limited
number of disciples; they themselves have confessed failure. Therefore,
the world of humanity must be confirmed by the breath of the Holy Spirit
in order to receive uni
