PUPIL: But the Bible has never been a very interesting book to me. I have thought of it as "old world fables."

MASTER: It was uninteresting to you because you did not understand it. Nevertheless it is a most scientific Book, full of interesting facts and life giving Truth, the finest book ever written about the greatest of all the sciences, the Science of life.

PUPIL: My parents were religious people, church every Sunday morning, prayers every day, and all of that. But I could never see that they were any better off, or any happier -if as happy -than the neighbors who never went to church. But I shall be glad to make an honest effort to understand and follow whatever you outline, even the Bible if you say so.

MASTER: I have spoken.

And because you are honest in your desire you will be honest in your thinking; and honest thinking makes a true student.

Because you truly wish to understand the art of living you shall come to know it, and when you know Life and really live it you are certain to love it.

The Bible IS, I repeat the book of life, and of Life's immutable Laws.

Remember always that Life's Laws contain within themselves the solution to every human problem!

Indeed "Wisdom is the beginning of magic." The Spirit of Christ, or Intelligent Life, within us is the light of each of us.

It will always make the path easy, interesting and joyous IF only we will study and understand how to use our own Divine Power, and then really use it.

Once one has formed the habit of looking to the Bible for the answer to all problems it becomes to that one as a lantern carried on a dark night.

The next steps ahead may be in total darkness, but when you approach the light you carry illuminates the path and you know exactly where to step, and just what to do.

Your feeling is influenced in the right direction. It is true that the Bible veils its most profound secrets in symbols and parables; but the Wisdom is there for the earnest and consecrated seeker!

Maybe, the author, was right when he wrote:

"The true artist finds that the materials for his art are ever present.
But the ones who can discern the possible uses of these varied materials,
and who possess the instinct, intuition and training
to put them to their best uses are always few in number.
The materials out of which art is made are ever present;
but the artist appears only at intervals!"

So it is with the mysterious force we call Life. Every person has it; but the ones who understand and use Life's finest possibilities, and who get out of it, consequently, its very richest growth are really very few in number. So let us put into this study of Life our very noblest personal energy.
