The broad, deep mind can see the unity of all religions and expressions of Truth. It is waste of time and distracting to thought to seek and tell the differences between the beliefs of mankind. Let us be content to find the good and the true in every teacher and his teaching. Then if it ever devolves upon us to point out a stumbling stone we can, like Jesus, do it impersonally and with authority.

Universal tolerance finds Truth omnipresent, and has no respect of persons, creeds, or institutions, yet gives true deference to the real of each.

The purpose of religion is to unite God and Man, and that is the true religion which breaks down the barriers between man and his fellow-beings, and brings to him the consciousness of the eternal union between the Heavenly Father and His Child.

The origin of the word “religion” is two Latin words meaning “to bind together again.” The Power of reconciliation which is in the true religion is without limit, joining together those which have seemed hopelessly apart, even at enmity, such as the higher and lower natures. It is the Christ-truth that breaks down “the middle wall of partition” between the human nature and the divine by causing the mortal to become obedient to the true Self. Then, overshadowed by the real Man, the earthly is “adopted” into the same inheritance of health and age-lasting life.

It is Truth that forms the universal brotherhood by showing we are all one Body and one Spirit
(Eph. 4:4)

in God, and that what is done to the least in that
