[From the Colonist, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada]

There is no sense of direction that points the way to higher development of character than the quest for truth. There must be ultimate truth or else the whole world is irrational and life has neither meaning nor purpose. It is the conviction that there is truth that makes people strive to fathom its content and meaning; then life for them becomes a great adventure, and in the quest there are developed purity of heart and faithfulness in purpose. Three of the greatest virtues are loyalty, sacrifice, and love; the two former are inspired by the latter, and without all three faith in the spiritual meaning of life is impossible. With faith throughout all experience the believer goes on seeking, searching, questioning, and examining, and becomes more conscious all the time of an evergrowing brilliance of revelation which governs conduct and inspires character.
