HISTORY shows that many men have been earnest in their desires and that they have been willing to strive until they obtained the results they wanted. The efforts of inventors, for instance, have brought progress in many areas of activity. Such accomplishments are designed in general to be helpful to humanity and will continue to be so.
As important as material discoveries and inventions are to mankind, they relate only to the human concept of life and the conveniences and comforts attendant thereto. Mankind need to go beyond the material and find inspiration to investigate the spiritual realities of being and make them available to the world.
In his Sermon on the Mount, Christ Jesus said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matt. 6:33). Luke records yet more explicit instructions in Jesus' words (12:29-31): "Seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you."
