It gives a man greater courage.

These activities of mind and spirit take place largely beneath the surface of consciousness. The student may not be aware of what is actually taking place within him. He goes on day after day faithfully observing his periods of meditation and prayer. He adds daily to his equipment of true, rich thought.

This is a common miracle of Truth, but one that never ceases to be thrilling and mysterious. The study of practical Christianity and the daily practice of meditation and prayer invariably work agreeable changes in the life of people.
Recapitulation
Every one in his human nature makes mistakes: every one in his divine right has power to overcome them.
