ReIIaion,s True Meaning.

Religion means living life for the
sake of life itself; it means finding a
sufficient motive in living. 1t is the
point Of view and the spirit in life
that sets things in right relations.
helps one to find true values and to
know the things that are worth living
for. TO set the tools OF life and the
products Of life in right relations.
Who is sufficient for living without
this spirit, He who lives the right
life knows that he has struck time
and tune with the eternal laws OF the
universe; he who lives for love finds
the real law Of life. Seeking the good
we find the infinite goodness: the life
and love that are the heart of all be-
come a certainty to all of those who
follow the light they have. who do the
will Of love
