seeing our God-likeness constrains us to act God­like. To know myself Son of God banishes belief and desire of sin, and impels me to righteousness. Surely, then, the simplest may know if only they will.

Refuse to entertain a thought or speak a word of sinfulness, of sickness or of weakness. Think and speak always of good. Speak good of yourself, speak good of others. "Whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, think on these things."

All growth in understanding is from within outward. " Consider the lilies how they grow." If we wish a beautiful lily, how may we obtain it? Shall we begin by trying to make the flower? We can not reproduce the blossom in that way. We must plant a lily-bulb deep in the earth that in due time will unfold its stems, its buds and its full bloom. It is a natural process. All of us can plant a bulb and have a lily.

It is equally true that each may find the Starting Point, Source and Reason of his existence. In. Eternal Being is the "right seed" that is man's true Nature. It is already "planted" by Divine, Hand. Man is "to dress and to keep it." He is to keep in thought the Omnipresence that fills and sur­rounds this "right seed," and wait for its unfoldment. Never think of an opposite condition --- never speak it.
