GRAND LAW OF LIFE
Unity With the Father Is the Key
Stone Upon Which All
Things Depend.

"The shell was not filled with
pearls until it was contented Chat is,
ceased from unrestJ."
In this old Persian proverb we find
an example of the same truth that
was given by Jesus in his lesson re-
garding worldly care so beautifully
illustrated in the story of the Lilies
of the Field" ending with the in
junction: ''Rut seek We first the
kingdom of God and his righteous
ness and I'll these things shall be add
ed unto you"
Not until one ceases from all anx-
ious seeking after and striving for
possessions and settles down into a
state Of peace and rest, through abb
solute trust in God for his supply,
can he realize the truth that all
things whatsoever he desires are in
reality his, that as child of God
they rightfully belong to him, else
he would not desire them, and that
through conscious recognition of the
fact, he will come into possession of
his own through natural attraction, il
| quietly resting and trusting, in con-
fident expectation that the supply will
| come as needed, in the right time and
way.
In the Knowledge of the Truth.
The conscious knowledge of unity
with the Father, who is the source Of
supply. gives the realization of unity
with the manifestation of supply in
whatever form or shape needed, thus
all fear and belief in lack, which is
caused by the ignorant belief in sep
aratton from oVf supply, is eliminated
from the consciousness. The feeling Of
trust and security which follows en-
ables one to maintain an attitude Of
equilibrium and poise in all circum-
stances and conditions. Nothing can
disturb him who knows the truth,
for he feels the power which knowl-
edge gives and rests seTenely in that
consciousness. He knows that he has
only to make use of this power, in
faith and trust, to bring to him any
thing he needs when he wants it. He
becomes a law unto himself. He
knows, also, that he is responsible for
the way in which he may use this
power and therefore must use it in
accordance with the law of right
eousness, else he will bring direful
consequences upon himself. Knowl-
edge and responsibility are insepara'
BILE, and only through right use of his
power can one produce harmony in
his life and affairs and SO be free
from the adverse consequences result
ing from its misuse.
Mans Divine GIFT.
Man is given freedom to make his
world and conditions what he will
and he learns through the use of his
power how to use it Alright, a state
of heavenly blessedness; a conscious
mes of peace and power within, and
the fulfillment of all his desires. His
hopes and aspirations will all be real
lied and he will find rest in the con
seriousness Of being in possession o.

earth beneath. Il and the Father are
one and all that the Father hath i:

To arrivs at this grand consumma

and should cultivate a state of peace
l and trust in the omnipotent goodness
Of God, who is the life and substance
Of all things and in due time the
