to pass through the "fire," for this light that reveals, this "Holy Ghost," is the fire that consumes.

To receive the new and fuller idea of Life, petty self-notions must be erased. It is for our highest good --- for our purification, but the surrender of our opinions and beliefs is very hard.

One says, "The mortal dies hard." We must die daily to our mortal conceptions, or conceptions of sin, evil and death, if we have received the Light of true Consciousness. This is Christ's baptism of which the water baptism was but a symbol, and we have considered elsewhere the surrender of symbols to the greater reality. The Light that leads us is the Holy Spirit. The same Light destroying our false conceptions, is the "fire." (Read "Everlasting Fire," in Bible Selections, page 88)

Do you have Communion and Baptismal services? has been asked.

We do. Our little booklet, "The Redeemed Body," gives a communion service. In the time for this special service, we come together to learn how to commune every moment and not to commune at that time only.

We have a Baptismal service for children in which they are recognized as God's own. Their birthright of Purity, Goodness, Health and Strength is declared and they are acknowledged as members of the Divine family in heaven and in earth.

Communion is realization of Omnipresence; Healing, of Omnipotence; Baptism, of Omniscience.
