that truth may be found. He also knows that when we are friendly with all things all things will be with us, and what is with us will help us on to greater things.

This being true, we should eliminate the critical spirit and encourage the analytical spirit. In brief, we should try all things and hold fast to the good. The critical mind may have plausible opinions, but it is not possible to realize the truth while we are in critical or antagonistic states of mind. This is a fact of enormous importance, a fact that should be so deeply impressed upon every mind that it will never be forgotten. The mind that is looking for the truth that is back of all things will not criticise anything, because to such a mind all things are paths to greater truth and therefore to the greater goal we may have in view.

In our search of truth we must remember that it is not sufficient simply to seek the truth. We must also live the truth. If we fail to live the truth that we have found we will soon lose that truth, and also close the door to new truth. By living the truth that we now understand we open the mental door to more truth and larger truth, for the fact is that when we apply what we know we gain the power to know more. This is especially true when we live in the. aspiring or the spiritual attitude. And we live in the spiritual attitude when our mind is open to the best from all sources.
