IN PROPORTION AS ANYONE SHUNS EVILS AS SINS,
IN THE SAME PROPORTION HE LOVES TRUTHS.
From the love of good in the will proceeds the love of truth in the understanding
From the love of truth proceeds the perception of truth
From the perception of truth comes thought about truth
From all of these together comes the acknowledgment of truth which in the true sense is faith.
