EVERY progressive thinker is constantly making fresh discoveries in his own line of work. To this end he shows self-sacrifice, courage, perseverance, enthusiasm, and very probably substitutes labor for ordinary human recreation. To such men and women we owe much gratitude, for they are helping to break through the confines of human knowledge into the divine facts of spiritual reality.
A recent reward of alertness and perseverance in the world of astronomy is the discovery of another planet, which may be the harbinger of still others awaiting identification by means of further observation and painstaking computation. Even as intrepid explorers are penetrating to the remotest glacial regions, so astronomers are searching the vast spaces of our solar system.
Turning from this commendable human research we think with still greater gratitude of those rare explorers whose spiritual discoveries reveal to them, and through them to others, the imperishable realm of Spirit. The same qualities of fortitude, perseverance, and zeal inspire and sustain them in their Godlike search, and they furnish the human race with immortal data.
