Bishop Smith Talks
Speaking on "Life's Horizons"
this morning, Bishop II. Lester
Smith said that the prophets have
proved that there is life everlasting
and that the horizons of life are
limitless, even though some may fear
the ending of them at death.
"Even as we have found that the
horizon was but Il powerless Pigment
Of the mind, SO we find that the
horizon of this life is thing with
out substance, and we sweep through
it without the loss of single truth
or reality and enter the larger land
beyond in JOY and gladness," Bishop
Smith said.
Although we do live in grim
world and one full of tragedy and
disaster, careless indifference is
not the answer and blind optimism
will not SUFFICE" Bishop Smith said.
What is required, he averred, is a
bearing of faith; summoning of
divine resources; a surrender of self
to divine guidance; a courage and
an effort of will and steadfast and
steadying purpose.
