RADIANT LIVING
Thought Control
By
REV. C. nj. GRIFFITH

CeciltOn, Md.

Radiant Living
Have you ever realized the tremen-
dous effect which your thought has
upon your whole life? Are you aware
that in a large measure your thoughts
affect your health, your personal re-
lationships, your successes, and your
general happiness?
To attain control of ones thoughts
seems to be a most difficult achieve
ment. Yet every effort toward such
control will make it that much more
a possibility for you.
All worthwhile things are difficult
to attain. And even though complete
mastery may be impossible for you,
every minor achievement along this
line will pay you big dividends.
There are certain lines leading to-
ward the control of thought along
which you can be working every day
One of these methods, for instance
is to develop habit of dismissing
every unworthy thought from your
mind the instant you discover your
self entertaining it. Command every
unworthy thought, when it approach
es you, as the Master commanded the
tempting Satan: "Get thee hencep
Another method approaching con
troll of ones thoughts is to watch
carefully not to permit yourself tt
take any offense from whatever any
one says to you or about you. In fact
all thoughts of self-pity should b
barred from your mind.
Still another habit to cultivate is II
refuse to think or mediate upon an!
unpleasantness which happened any
where in your past. Permit yourself
to mediate upon only the pleasan
things in your past.
Driving from the mind any and al
undesirable thought is not easy, bu
it can be accomplished by the boil
seizure of positive thought and espec
tally by giving emphatic verbal ex
preston to such positive thought. In
stead Of saying: 81 am afraid tina
-" declare emphatically, II ar
trusting that"
Such daily expressions of trust vii
bring to you a deliverance from wor
ry. It will bring to you taste of tina

THINKING

The tendency today is to do rs
little thinking as possible. People
quickly form conclusions without
taking the trouble to think, ponder
and study the situation We are
living in constantly changing
world. Epochal events are taking
place with dramatic suddenness all
about us, and no one can foretell
what effect these cataclysmic chang
es will have upon cur own nation.
Truly it has been written, "The
time for thinkers has come'
But, seemingly, we do not like to
think, nor do we care to worry
about problems that we imagine are
far from our own little sphere. We
prefer entertainment, advertisement.

/. Why is it necessary to keep
the church and it's ideals strictly
separate from the ideals of the
world?
g. In what respects is Chris
tianity different from all other re-
ligions?
3. What is there in human ma
ture that makes people jealous one
of another?
4. What cure does Paul offer for
unnecessary and wicked strife?
5. When do Christians begin to
build?
6. What kind of rewards will a
faithful Christian worker receive?
Glorious says: "ThroughOut the
New Testament, righteousness is put
first Both Jesus and his disciples
continually declared that earnest
protestations of belief have no value
unless they are matched by sacri-
fetal good living"
Lesson prayer: 1--WE would have a
generous spirit toward all Christian
workers knowing that minor differ
ences of thought or action are to be
expected So we pray for larger
brotherhood of man and nations;
may this Christian ideal pervade our
lives"
