1916 SPIRITUAL MAN 119
He is not born, nor does he die. Our purpose in life,
and for which we were put on earth, is to come into realization
of our higher natures, and if we are going to

the spirit in man.
The pearls of great price of knowledge
and of wisdom are for those who truly seek, and
seek aright, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and
ye shall find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you."
