RADIANT LIVING
Sensitized Minds
BY REV. c. n GRIFFkTH
Pastor Methodist Church, Ceellton, Md.

Anyone who is at all familiar with
photography knows that in order to
take a photograph you must have
in the camera a film.
You might put into the camera a
rolled strip of brown wrapping pa
per. but you would never get any
pictures from 1t because such a pa
per is not sensitized to receive and
to hold the image that is flashed
upon it the second the camera is
opened to receive the exposure.
Perhaps you have often wonder
ed why there are some people who
seem to receive impressions from
the spiritual realm so easily, while
others never do.
Could the camera with its sensi-
tive film point the way to the un-
derstanding of this difference?
To receive impressions from the
spiritual realm and to understand
spiritual truth, does not one need
to have, first Of all, mind spiritu-
ally "sensitized?'
When the King of France, out of
a Jealous spirit, asked Joan of Arc
why God didn't talk to him like He
did to her, the Maid of Orleans re-
piled: "0h, but He does, but you do
not listen. If you, too, sat in the
fields in the evening and listened,
then you would hear Him as do"
The King of France could not re-
ceive any visions because he never
took time to sensitize his mind and
to expose that sensitized mind to the
glories Of the spiritual realm.
Perhaps your days too are filled
with 80 many things that have to
get done" Yet you could make no |
better investment of time, than to |
Just sit down and be rquiet before |
the Lord S
Draw nigh unto Me, and l will
draw nigh unto you" is the Divine
Promise.
Here is the secret of radiancy in
life-to so sensitize your inward self
by spiritual contemplation that you
can catch by your spirit and reflect
in your life the "technicolor" of the
heavenly places in Christ"
