Salient Thought for the Day.

Every man must go to God; every man must seek wisdom.

Lines to Memorize.

If thou wouldst have Divine grace,

Then crave not the favour of man.

If thou wouldst soar heaven’s loftiest heights,

Then let not thy feet be chained to earth.

Bear no malice or envy in thy mind,

For these are heavy loads to carry.

He lifts those by His magic wand

Who come free of heart and hand.

Lesson.

Practical wisdom is something we radiate through our life. Everyone can acquire it. Great souls are anxious to give wisdom, but the one to whom they would impart it must have aptitude to receive. We cannot reach God unless we seek Him with childlike faith and devotion. We must have that higher wisdom which comes from surrender.

Prayer.

O Thou Effulgent Spirit, teach me how I may acquire true wisdom.

Destroy all darkness in me.

Grant unto me such childlike simplicity and openness of heart

That I may be able to reflect Thy Divine Light.

May that Light radiate through all my thoughts and actions.
