Let us be ready to let go the old, failing way, and lend our support to the new successful way. This way is the way of unselfishness. It begins with the individual, and by accretion of those of similar faith. and selflessness, spreads to the community, then to the nation, and will finally encompass the world.

Faith in God as the resource of all things is the first requisite. This is the foundation upon which we must build. Any other will prove sand. co-operative schemes that are not built upon this rock will fail. The selfish ignorance of men as to the source of possessions will wreck them, everyone. We must have the understanding of what things stand for, and how they are produced. Without this understanding man is constantly fearing that there will not be enough to go around and that shortage and want may occur.

When the understanding is developed and we know the origin of all things possessed by man, a focal point has been established. The next step is to know how to produce these things. The basis of this is faith in God as the Provider and inexhaustible Supplier of all our needs.

When we have arrived at this unity of thought we can carry out the co-operative community inaugurated by the Apostles. "And all that believed were together and had all things common; and sold their possessions and goods and parted them to all men, as every man had need." Acts 2: 44.

VIVIA A. LEEMAN.

There is one Power and one Presence in the universe. The Good Omnipotent!

We acknowledge Thee, O Life, Love, and Truth, to be the Omnipotent One.

Spirit is the only Substance, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable.

Man is inseparable from and one with the perfect Substance Spirit.

Omnipotent Goodness and Love, we are now in Thy sacred presence.

By Thy breath the whole universe is created.

By Thy love the whole universe is sustained.

By Thy life the whole universe leaps with joy and gladness.

There is naught else beside Thee.

There is no place that is not filled with the health of

Thy countenance.

Thou art infinite; all is contained within Thee.

Thou art eternal; and nothing ever dies in Thee. Thou art unchangeable; nothing ever falls from Thee. I am Thy child, created in Thy likeness and perfect image.

I am sustained in Thy perfect image.

Help me to know the Power that Thou hast given me. Help me to see the Power, to let the light of Truth shine.

Manifest Thyself in me as a healing presence.

Manifest Thyself in me as a strengthening presence. Manifest Thyself in me as a loving presence.

To the All Good be the honor and glory forever and forever. Amen.

There is nothing so kindly as kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.

"What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?"—Psa. 8:4.

Man is spirit, soul, and body.

What is Spirit?

Spirit is the central unchanging I of us; It is God; the part that never changes to all eternity.

66

"If thine I be single, thy whole body shall be full of Light."

"I Am the Light of the world."

66

"I Am the Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world."

"I Am" is this Light.

What is Soul?

Soul is the region of the intellect, in which "carnal mind," or "mortal mind," developes, and that gains all its information through the five senses in the unregenerate; it is where we do our everyday, natural thinking and are free wills. This part

of our being is in constant process of changing. Soul is the external or clothing of Spirit.

What is Body?

Body (or ghost) is yet the external clothing of Soul, which today is, and tomorrow is not.

66

Ghost, or body, is the substance of God drawn into manifestation (out of the invisible) by the Spirit.

Body, or ghost, is mortal until it becomes holy; i. e., set apart by the soul to the service of Spirit, God; and the Temple of God is dedicated. Then it puts on immortality, and "Death is swallowed up in the grave."

"I Am (in me, in each of us) the Resurrection and the Life."

How can these things be?

Christ (through the mouth of Jesus) said, "Keep my words; they are life to them that find them." What words?

He said: "I and the Father are One."
"I Am the Light of the world."

"I Am the Resurrection and the Life."

"I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life."

Then keep these words, say them, affirm them, until you can and do consciously know that "I and the Father are One;" and that “I AM”—you are that one God manifest in the flesh.

When this understanding comes into your consciousness, you have made the at-one-ment (atonement).

"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. - Prov. 4:7. Get the understanding that "I am" (you are) Godmanifest in the flesh.

"Get wisdom, get understanding; forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth."

Prov. 4: 5.

"For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh."- Prov. 4:22.

"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."— John 17:3.

Webster defines "know" as follows: "I. To be

aware of as true or actual; to have mental cognition of; to perceive or apprehend clearly; to be convinced of the truth of; to have information of; to be assured of. 2. To be acquainted with; to be no stranger to; to be more or less familiar with the person, character, etc., of; to possess experience of."

How can I know God?

"Be still, and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10.

Enter the silence of your own soul.

"The Lord

is in his Holy Temple: let all the earth keep silence before him."-Hab. 2:20.

Who is the Lord?

If the reader dwells and abides in the superconscious mind ("we have the mind of Christ."

I. Cor. 2:16), he can truthfully answer, "I am."-Ex. 3:14.

Where is His Holy Temple?

"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?"I. Cor. 3:16.

"What! know ye not that your body is the temple of (or) the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?". I Cor. 6:19.

This is the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is the Christ in you, the hope of glory." Col. 1:26, 27.

"That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ." Col. 2:2.

"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life."John 14:6.

Christ in you is the Way.

Christ in you is the Truth.
