Sit down, close your eyes and meditate about God. Consider His presence everywhere and in everything. In the room He is the life of the air you breathe. He is the life of the chair on which you sit. He is the life, intelligence, love, and power of all that is. We have heard this said many times and we have read of it frequently in inspirational literature, but have we actually practiced it and realized it? Only through meditation and prayer shall we be able to impregnate our minds with the Divine consciousness and environ ourselves with true spiritual awareness. Under such conditions we lose ourselves in spiritual ideas to the exclusion of all others, and then the ideas take hold and come to life for us and become a part of us. Without this experience of meditation we go on just knowing that certain things are supposed to be true. "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." -- E. Hannah

MY EVENING PRAYER

For Children

Now I lay me down to sleep;
I know that God His child doth keep.
I trust Him for my daily food,
My life, my health, and all my good.
May I grow stronger day by day,
And learn to live the truest way.
All this I ask because I know
Thou art the Love that wills it so.
-- NONA L. BROOKS
