 Let us try this plan in our destruc tion Of evil. We may begin on the
 members of the household by seeing l them as thoughts: thoughts of God, expressions of His goodness and His 1 love existing to bless the home and 1 all mankind. Contrariwise, let us
 not see them as selfish impatient, in- i tolerant, and all such evil thought or
 beliefs will be baniahed from the home

 Il thoughts will change yotlr entire out
 Hook and make new school--one that
 will bless you, the children and all
 mankind.
