Spring OMcially
Arrives In ToIOn

Just In case yOu didn't know,
les Spring.
The young lady slipped into
our midst early this morning
2:11 (war time) BY actual count.
That's the hour the vernai
equinox occurred, meaning, Of
course, that today the day and
night are equal the world over.
An equinox can only occur
when the Axle Of the earth Is
at right. angles TO the direction
Of the sun. March and Septem-
Der are the months In, which
this happens, the former pre-
ducing the vernal or spring
equinox, the latter the au-
tumnal equinox.
A suspicion Of spring has
been with us for some time
robins chipping early In the
morning; flremen battling
brush, fires all day long; ladies
working feverlshly ut their

Radiant Living
BECOME A MYSTIC
By
Rev. Charles. Milton Griffith

John had lot of trouble. But
somehow he had way of trans
forming trouble into joy.
The Roman authorities had iso-
lated him on the penal island of
Patmos. They thought they were
causing him suffering. But from
there John saw the visions of
Heaven.
The reason why John could look
up out of an abyss of trouble and
see the glories of Heaven was be-
cause he was mystic.
We are told that a mystic is a
person who closes his eyes. He
closes them to earthly discordant
conditions in order that he might
see without distraction the glories
of Heaven.
John learned his mysticism upon
the bosom of Jesus. Of all the dis
Iciples, he was closest in spiritual
fellowship with the Christ. 1t was
in that deep harmonious fellowship
with the Master that John became
acquainted with God. What he saw
in Christ he believed to be in God,
and later wrote: Gods lovel"
There are many others besides
John who are having lot of
trouble. If you are one of these,
why not try to meet your troubles
as did John?
Why not become a mystic and
shut your eyes to the evils that sur
round you so that you can open
them unto Him in Whom no evil
exists? Why not shut your eyes
to present distressing conditions
and open them unto Him Who is
able to do for you far above all
that you are able to ask or think ?
When once you catch vision of
the tranquility of God, it will fill
your mind with peace. When once
you catch a vision of Infinite Love,
1t will II your soul with joy. When
once you catch vision of the glory
of God, it will fill your whole being
with the assurance of victory.
There is no Patmos Of trouble
that can imprison you from Cod
