wardly, the voice of ages speaks to me,"He that overcometh shall inherit all things." Again and yet again I say those words. I know that I shall overcome.

I open my eyes with a song on my lips. I have dropped the spirit of heaviness for the shining garment of praise. I realize how great God's love-how perfect His plan for me. I know in His Silence He has shown me that the future is in my own hands. My road is clear. It is untrodden.

"Every day is a fresh beginning." I look to this day only, to make it beautiful. Tomorrow I will begin again, but will not ask to see "the distant scene."

Lovingly, selflessly giving of my best, I will travel onward, step by step, into the greater glory, yet to be revealed.

THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH OF

FEBRUARY

I place myself and all my affairs_lovingly in the hands of the Father. That which is for my highest good shall

come to me.

MY MIND is at rest as I enter the Silence. Peace, calm as a summer morning, is in my soul.

The great strong arms of the Universal Father are round about me. I relax in their strength, like one who has toiled up a hill in the heat of the day, will relax under the shade of loving trees and rest from his burden.

I have lost all sense of worry for the future. I have placed myself and all my affairs lovingly in the hands of the Father.

I dwell on the word lovingly because love, being the greatest thing in the world, can, by its radiance, change all darkness into light, all sickness into health, all poverty to abundance, can lift me on its shining wings, can help me to forget and to forgive all

things which in the human eyes seemed wrong.

Love cannot desire anything but what is good for its loved ones. It cannot err against its children. It wouldn't wish to see its loved ones suffer. There is no imperfection in its glorious plan for the universe. So, if I have placed myself with all my seeming difficulties in love's dear hands-whatever love shall give me in return must be for my greater gain. With love directing my affairs-I have no fear. Out of my failures God can bring success. The closing of one door will mean the opening of another.

If I cannot see the things I crave for, if the way out of my difficulties is a blank, I repeat more strongly to myself and many times aloud, "Lovingly, in the hands of the Father." I go about my work, claiming the promise for the highest good. The consciousness of the love of the Father grows more strongly on me while I wait. Into my soul there comes the understanding of the unity with Divinity; the connection Jesus made for us in the blessed words "Our Father." I no longer look for God in a far-off Heaven. I feel Him round about me everywhere. As a child looks to its earthly father for its daily needs, so I-trustful as a little

child-depend on His great love, and opening my soul to it, I feel it flowing through me with life-giving power.

Close to my Father's love, I have the confidence that all my future is being taken care of that every step is directed by Him -that I cannot make a change without His word that He has promised me the Kingdom as a gift. I starve no more in a foreign land, but I claim the bounties that it is His good pleasure to give. When I lie down to rest at night, I have no worry for tomorrow. I close my eyes repeating softly, "Lovingly, in the hands of the Father." The last word on my lips before I sleep is "lovingly."

If I awake before the dawn, there is no darkness for me. Into my soul the words are whispered: "Lovingly, in the hands of the Father." I hold the statement to my heart and sleep once more-content that He is taking care of me. I open my eyes to the beautiful morning. The last thought that I took to rest comes forth to greet me with a sunny smile.

Almost unconsciously I find myself repeating, "Lovingly, in the hands of the Father" and again, "That which is for my highest good shall come to me."
