“Generally there is in man a divinity which strives to push him onward and upward. We believe that this power within him is the spirit that comes from God. Man lived before he came to this earth, and he is here now to strive to perfect the spirit within. At sometime in his life, every man is conscious of a desire to come in touch with the Infinite. His spirit reaches out for God. This sense of feeling is universal, and all men ought to be, in deepest truth, engaged in the same great work—the search for and the development of spiritual peace and freedom.” MenBelieveFeelingsEarthSpiritualSpiritDesirePerfectDevelopmentOughtConsciousUniversalInfiniteStriveEvery ManEngagedDivinityReach OutStrifeGreat WorkSpiritual PeaceOnward And Upward Author:David
