in this book, they will bring that mental poise which will prepare you for any particular thought you may wish to hold. Many have found in this stanza of Whittier's power to help them and out of the maddening mazes of life to bring peace of mind. You will find John Burrough's, "Waiting" helpful and from the volumes of NOW, you will be able to cull Affirmations and stanzas that will give this mental quietude.

Amid the maddening maze of things
And tossed by storm and flood,
To one fixed trust my spirit clings ---
I know that God is good.

This stanza from one of my poems may suit those who have any objection to the word "God."

Trust is now brooding in my heart
As thus I float o'er Passions's grave,
I'm Spirit and of All-Life part.
As such unmoved by wind or wave.

Affirmations of peace and of restfulness are always to precede any special Affirmation, for until Peace of mind is reached, there can be no concentration. Therefore the Affirmation --- I am peace --- is recommended. The words of one of Mrs. Scott's Truth Songs will help you as you repeat, hum or sing them:

God is peace; (or-I am Peace.)
That Peace surrounds me.
In that Peace I safely dwell.
'Tis above, beneath, within me,
Peace is mine and all is well;
God is Peace, sweet Peace!
God is Peace, pure Peace!
That Peace is mine --- mine ---
And all is well.

Keep repeating the thought of peace, till peace is yours. When once you have attained self-mastery in this direction, you can follow it up successfully in all others. Can affirm Health, Happiness, Success, or any desire as a present reality.
