ing, where the hordes of evil sug-
gestions and material beliefs that
seek to destroy our peace and prog
ress are put to flight and made void
by spiritual ideas which come from
the all governing, infinite Mind.
These ideas are intelligent, loving,
perfect, and complete. They reflect
the permanence and power of eternal
good; they are the host of angels
that guide, protect, and comfort.
A young soldier who was talking
with friend said he was not afraid
of battle, whether on land, in the
air, on the sea, or under the sea;
but he was troubled by the thought
of the temptations and inducements
to do wrong which present them
selves. -.
As children of the one Father
Neither God, all men possess I'M

poise. These divinely mental states
cannot be shaken, subdued, or OBJ
scured. They include neither self
righteousness nor condemnation; but

ance, personal domination, arro-
gance, and ridicule, revealing the
perfect man. Those who perform
faithful service, firm in their spiritual
independence, often experience in
return expressions of good fellow
ship, brotherly love, and appreciation
of qualities of character that are
spiritual and substantial.
A true follower OF Christ, Truth, is
law-abiding. He follows the course
that, from human standpoint, is
nearest right; that will bring the
greatest good to the greatest number.
And right motives are rewarded in
strength and freedom.
When the commandments of Jesus
are here and now obeyed, then will
there be peace on earth. And all can
obey commands such as these MAT
