Sons of God

And if Sons. Then Heirs" We all acknowledge God as the King of all Kings. Ruler of earth and all other worlds. And We have been taught, most of us from our infancy, to call God our Father in Heaven. and to be- lieve that one day when our span of life is over. we shall return to. and reign with Him in His deyine kingdom
 Of course there are many phases of this belief, or religion. but find that if the source or basis of each apparent ly different religion or belief IS pains takingiy searched for and found, we shall find all contained in an ancient statemtnt, which says: Truth Is one. men give it various names. The one truth underlying all names and phases is that there is one God. one Father, from whom we all come and to whom we shall all return.
 The experiences through which We pass during our earthly journeys, are the means given to Us to fit us for our high calling as sons and heirs of God.
 Now let us quietly and individually consider how We conduct ourselves as children of a Royal Father.
 We know that one of the first laws instilled into the minds of ordinary princes and princesses is. that beyond and above all else. the dignity, the good of the whole family must be con sidered first Individual wishes and pleasures must always give way Co what is considered the welfare of the whole
 How does this work out in our spir- itual life, we who consider ourselves spiritual children of a Spiritaal Fa- ther? Do We find ourselves living up td the standard even of earthly mem bors of an earthly royalty? Do we care for and consider the welfare of brother human beings of greater val ue and aid in the consolidation and strengthening of our Fathers King dom? Do we think this of more iTn- portAnce than our own particular growth. happiness, and peace. or are most of us totally engrossed in tne so-ealled saving of our own soulsy Are we attempting Co lay up for ourselves and no one else-treaaufes in heav- on. forgetting entirely the family, Gods family, or that We individually are only one of many millions of little cozs in the vast mechanism of creation and spiritual evolution
 If We forget the other eogs. the oth- er members Of the family, then will our little cog become rusted from the cruel acid of egotism and selfishness and we shall no longer be ef aid in the general work of the whole. but by our rusfinesx refard and hold back the work of others.
 No man or woman ever saved their souls hy striving to do so, nor have they by efforts on their own behalf. progressed one sten upon the path which leads 10 God their Father.
 But the good son who forgets his own soni ir his erdeavor to strength en and help his brothers. who turns his back on even niulte dishonesty or imrurity. so that a weaker brother
