be consciously at one with all Good—with God, and earnestly to wish to manifest Him, is to be ever in a state of uplifting desire, "to pray without ceasing."

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.

Eph. 6:18.

Men ought always to pray, and not to faint.

Luke 18:1.

Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching therein

with thanksgiving.

Col. 4:2.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass. Luke 21:36.

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven, Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

The desire of the righteous shall be granted.

Prov. 10:24.

Do not refuse a message of Truth because it comes to you through lips that you have thought of as vile. Never forget that vileness, like any other sin, is but a cloud that hides from view the perfect man. Truth, however, can pierce anything, and it will reach you through everything if you but earnestly desire it.

And whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 1 John 3:22.

They that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. Ps. 34:10.

The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. Ps. 145:18.

Take your petition into the quietest place that you know—into the innermost chamber of your being, shut the door of the material world, and when you feel yourself alone with God tell him your desire. It may be very trivial. As our understanding grows our desires will change. The boy wishes toys, the man has put away childish things. Presently we shall know the true from the false, the needful from the needless. We must be patient with ourselves and force nothing. Hence even though your wish is trivial, express it and then be certain that it shall be granted—if it is in accordance with the Divine will. Always make this provision; for one must be humble if one wishes to receive the Divine blessing, otherwise one's desires may be realized to one's hurtthough not through God, He sends only good, but through one's own vicious will.

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Jesus Christ. Phil. 4:19.

With God nothing shall be impossible. Luke 1:37. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do

it.

John 14:13-14. I know that even now whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. John 11:22.

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15:7.

This is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 1 John 5:14-15.

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Matt. 18:19-20.

Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make his paths straight. Luke 3:4.

All that "the man of the world" knows of God is what he sees of Him in others. Little by little the Divine Nature is revealed in a smile, an unselfish act, appreciation, sympathy, forgiveness, charity. Thus we, if we love our neighbor as ourselves, can "prepare the way of the Lord" into his consciousness by showing him love in all of our actions—for God is Love. We can make "straight" this path of the Lord by revealing to our neighbor the good that is within himself, encouraging and nurturing it until the (seeming) evil that has barred the path is over^ come with his own good—with God.

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

Matt. 19:19.

Be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you. Eph. 4:32.

If each one knew how much to his advantage, his profit, his happiness, now, upon this earth, it would be if he obeyed the commands of God, he would certainly strive with all of his power to obey. When we realize this, it is easy to forgive a brother his perverse actions, and to pity him because of his lack of understanding, helping him with love to understand.

Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the ad
