By this fourth lesson with its grand offerings, we see that Deity is no disciplinarian giving us hardships and refinements of deprivings, but a Beneficent Presence awaiting our use of everywhere-facing-Beneficence by bold insistence, like the "Glorify thou me" of Jesus; the "Prosper thou me" of David; the "Answer thou me" of Job; the "Stand thou still" of Joshua.

"Come boldly up," said Paul. Why not come boldly up if "boldness hath genius, power, and magic in it?"

This One everywhere and through everything facing us is no "hound of heaven" hounding us to starvation, cold and death. Neither are we His hound dogs beaten into submission to His ceaseless disciplines. Let us take right view of Him: "Ask what ye will," He saith. "What wilt thou?" He asketh. "Concerning the work of my hands, command ye me," He urges. "Is anything too hard for me?" "I will work, and none shall hinder."

When the Belgian writer tells us to be frank with the God Presence and tell Him we are dissatisfied with our lot, the Belgian writer does not seem to know such assurances multiply our dissatisfactions because they pick up the formulating substance charging the ethers and embody according to their recognitions. Tell him to speak boldly, looking into the face of the answering Substance, "Deliver Thou me from evil!" "Give me this day my super-substantial bread!" "Give me courage, confidence to insist! Bless me with life, wisdom, divine efficiency!"

Tell him this recognition picks up the formulating substance and translates it into the mystic's fulfilled assurance, "So shall thy life renew; so shall inspiration teach thee; so shall thy affairs go newly right with thee." We light our inner vision by exalting it. Lightened vision
