I said, “They are eternally safe.”

“No,” she said, “they are lost forever.”

I saw the mania in a moment--- that old dogma that some are elected to salvation, but the greater part are to be lost forever. I was able to keep myself in her sight as one who was saved, until she came to herself, standing by my side and began to receive the assurances that everybody was absolutely safe in life.

The outcome of understanding her was, that instead of antagonizing her brothers, who wished her to be placed in a private sanitarium for a while, she agreed with them. It had always been her antagonism that would throw her off her balance. She agreed with them and in perfect co-operation did as they wished, and was afterward dismissed by the physicians of the sanitarium as perfectly sane and of sound mind. I received a letter from her not very long ago, in which she told me that she has always been poised and peaceful from that day, and she now knows she is absolutely safe through the power of the Truth.

We need never fear that we shall be unbalanced so long as we keep the good before us and our eye single to the good. It is the same with our friends that seem to be going aside from the balanced state. Remind them there is but one presence and power working in and through them and everything, and you will make yourself a vehicle--- a bridge over which they may pass out of the false, disentegrating concentration into the true.
