mans effort to unite himself to God-tO
immense himself in the Infinite One. And
each man, no matter what his reiterated
professions no matter whether he be
Vedantist. Buddhist. Roman Catholic or
Episcopalian-each man strives to unite
himself to God in a different way. So

ligions as there are men. But as one of
your most clear-visioned seers has said:
"God enters into every individual by a
private door,"
Imagine two gentlemen Of the middle
ages each fully armed with sword and

them lifts one finger; the other holds up
