ERHARD G. CORNEER

"What makes the world go round?" is a question which has engaged the thinking of mankind generally.

In the Glossary of this textbook our Leader thus defines God (p. 587): "The great I AM; the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-acting, all-wise, all-loving, and eternal; Principle; Mind; Soul; Spirit; Life; Truth; Love; all substance; intelligence."
