its trials and disappointments.
Everyone observes that the good
things of the world seem most I'M
evenly distributed. Yet in the face
OF so-called failure and even

There's Wilderness in Gods mercy,
Like the Wilderness of the sea;
There's a kindness in His Justice,
Which Is more than liberty.
For the love Of God Is broader
Than is seen by human mind.

much TO be struggled for as II Is
to be called to remembrance. Life

recognized. II is yours this day,

You make the wrong choice.
With a little more spiritual dis
cernmcnt and resolution you can
make the right choice. You can
order your conversation along
healthful and wholesome lines. All
day long you can talk with your
self of the vigor, the buoyancy,
the resistlessness, the eternality.
the glory OF Life, keeping in
thought all the time that il is
your life you are talking absut.
In this way you put vital truths
TO work in your own premises in
stead Of idly contemplating them
in the abstract. In this mood you
are not FAR from invoking the
Daily Prayer set forth by Mrs.
Eddy in her Manual of The Mother
Church: THY kingdom come: let
the reign OF divine Truth, Life, and
Love be established in me, and rule
out Of me all sin"
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1940-06-22
RIGIDITY OF THOUGHT

Every instant of his experience
does the individual make a choice,
decision. Normally he chooses
success, works for 1t, achieves IT,,
But II not on his guard he may
choose failure and work for it..
He will have TO do this IL he ever
encounters failure, because failure
cannot find him. Like disease
failure has no intelligence, no
power TO move around, no ability
to find anyone. 1t Is quite help
less. quite harmless, of itself.
No man is likely TO get into a
pit without deciding to walk
toward ii and fool around on the
edge after arriving. The pit can
hardly come to him. With the
same effort he can take at least
few steps in the opposite direc-
ton OF security.
Not all OF ones difficulties can
be attributed to the folly OF past
generations. OF course. Ones own
mental attitude has a vital bearing
on ones well-being. For example
he who goes about tense with
anxiety. resentment, remorse, or
other abnormal emotions can
hardly expect permanently TO en-
Joy good health or reasonable
success.
Tensity of temperament in the
upper realm of mind becomes
tensity of tissue In the lower realm
OF body. Rigidity OF thought re-
acts at once in rigidity OF bodily
functions. Whereas flexibility OF
mentality, confidence. friendliness
ease, and poise build sure foun-
dalton for soundness OF body and
atuactiyeness of individuality.

LEANING BACK ON MIND

You have seen the surf riders OF
the South Sea. at least you have
seen pictures OF them. They seem
to lean back on an unseen power
and receive its impulse and pro-
pulsion. They glide over the
waves with as much assurance as
others walk the city streets.
You could cultivate the habit Of
leaning back on all-knowing Mind
and permitting it TO give you di-
rection. Is this not what Paul
counsels when he enjoins. Let
that mind be in you which was
also in Christ Jesus Divine
Mind would then keep you out of
mistakes, out OF dangers, out Of
follies. II would release in you
thoughts that would enable you
TO build a better business or TO
carve out a finer career than you
have yet attained. That Mind
might impart TO you some idea
which would enable you 10 launch
an entirely new enterprise in some
hitherto UNEMPLOYED field where
there is no competition.
II the unemployed would lean
back on divine Mind it would di-
rect them 10 where they are
needed. For every individual is
needed. No man has been brought
into being for uselessness or idle
ness. God has an active career
for each OF His men and women
vital purpose that cannot be
frustrated.
