Salient Thought for the Day.

We must attain steadiness and balance through our own endeavour.

Lines to Memorize.

These shadows have taught me I am nothing save when I walk in Thy Light.

With grateful heart I bless these ills that teach me to love Thee and Thy Light.

Lesson.

A wise man, if he is struck, is not willing to stoop to striking back—not because he feels a sense of superiority, but because he wishes to prove his loyalty to his highest light. When we hear a harsh word, we let it grind into our consciousness. The remedy is to bring to another thought. The remedy for a weakening thought is to think the opposite thought; overcome evil by good.

Prayer.

May my thoughts and prayers turn to Thee, O Lord!

Lift me above all confusion and wavering.

Grant unto me fixity of purpose and a determination that cannot be shaken.

Surround me with Thy loving blessing

And fill my heart with Thy Divine peace.
