Each religion, as it were, takes up one part of the great universal truth, and spends its whole force in embodying and typifying that part of the great truth.
It is, therefore, addition, not exclusion.
That is the idea.
System after system arises, each one embodying a great idea, and ideals must be added to ideals.
And this is the march of humanity.
Man never progresses from error to truth, but from truth to truth, from lesser truth to higher truth -- but it is never from error to truth.
