RADIANT LIVING
Regard of Conquest
BY Rev. 6. M. Griffith
Methodist Pastor of
Deals, Island, Md.


Have you ever had longing to be
victorious over those forces that you
recognize within you which by their
interference with your peace of mind
often destroy the happines of the day,
making your life miserable and many
times causing you to be defeated in
the things which you attempt?
Difficult as may be the attaining of
victory over those defeating forces
within us, that very difficulty will de-
feat us if it causes US to give up the
struggle for victory.
Many a battle has been waged back
and forth over the same ground be-
fore decisive victory was won. But
there is victory ahead for every one
that perseveres. Does not the Scrip
ture say: "He that endureth to the
end shall be saved?"
If there is one reward that is to be
cherished above all other rewards in
winning the victory over the self with
in it is the reward of tasting the joy
Gus peace of the Divine Mind. It is

and keep records of all money spent.
When the returns come in, each COM

use.
The boys decided to hold meetings
the second Wednesday of every month
with a rotation of periods. The boys
will choose committees at each meet
ing to work out a program for the
next.

with the Divine Mind, the Christ lived
in the midst of a rapturous peace
that "passeth all understanding, a
peace that He could impart to distress
ing conditions without as when with
the command, peace, be still" even
the wild winds and leaping waves
obeyed Him.
This is indeed reward worthwhile
the severest struggle-to experience
that peace which is divine.
