Salient Thought for the Day.

We should never indulge in thoughts that disturb our mind, distort our vision or shake our resolution.

Lines to Memorize.

No hurt nor strife there can be when thine heart is free.

Sadness and gloom, envy and fear,

Depression and pride jealousy and life’s countless cares:

These will never enter thy home

When thine heart is free and filled with love.

Lesson.

We overcome the lower by the higher. Evil does exist, but we do not have to accept it as an inevitable fact of life. We can always counteract it. We all have a common heritage. God’s blessings are showered upon us, but we deprive ourselves of them. We do not know how to retain them. We cannot think petty thoughts and receive the highest blessing.

Prayer.

All-merciful Spirit, bestow upon me Thy Grace.

Throw Thy light of wisdom upon my path.

Free me from petty thoughts and fears.

Give me understanding that I may come to Thee

And serve Thee with steadfast devotion and selfless consecration.

Grant me Thy peace.
