Salient Thought
for the Day
We must be wakeful, sincere and devout. There must be no pretense or arrogance in our life.
Lines to Memorize
Wouldst thou pluck a flower in the budding?
Wouldst thou trample a newly planted seed?
Patient waiting and care bring them to ripening.
Our life's unfinished work and unexpressed thoughts
All have their season of harvesting.
Lesson
There is not one so humble or so placed in life that we cannot carry out our spiritual convictions through our lives. Every one of us can do it. All that it requires is simplicity, sincerity and devotion to our highest ideal. Whether we believe in one thing or another makes very little difference. The whole theme of life lies in following a practical principle.
Prayer
Source of all my sustenance, I lift my prayer to You.
You are my wealth and wisdom;
You are my all-in-all.
Teach me how to offer up my whole being for Your service,
And express Your love through my life.
