It has been argued that when we have found the whole Truth we shall know it, in that it fulfills three conditions of perfect happiness. It should give us (1) Health of body, (2) Peace of mind, (3) The key to all knowledge. Since these three conditions have been fulfilled in students by these teachings we see that we can truly call this gospel, Truth.
In order that we may walk the Way with understanding and profit we must, in this first lesson, see that we start from the same point—that is, that we all stand together upon one Foundation The Principle, and standing together there foundation. we shall see that we cannot but walk together from principle to principle, and every deduction and conclusion must be taken from alpha to omega. We shall know that if we have not believed in all these principles, and not only believed them but lived them, that it will not be hard for us to understand why we have not had that happiness we desire, or manifested that perfection we would show forth.

“Come now, let us reason together, saith the Lord.”
—Is. 1:18 There are three statements in the word— ing of this principle which may be called the first axioms of Truth, viz:
1. God is.
