Man must
cut himself free from all prejudice and from the result of his own imagination,
so that he may be able to search for truth unhindered. Truth is one in
all religions, and by means of it the unity of the world can be realized.
All the
peoples have a fundamental belief in common. Being one, truth cannot be
divided, and the differences that appear to exist among the nations only
result from their attachment to prejudice. If only men would search out
truth, they would find themselves united.

In 1957 when his wife, Dolores, died, Mr. Blumenthal drew on his faith to carry on and care for their four dependent children.
