One truth a man lives is worth a thousand he only utters,

P

-Epicharmus.

ERFORMANCE is better than promise. Action in the living present is required to fulfill promise in past action. Action now is

earnest of what future action shall be. The ripe fruit is its own excuse for being. It is at the same time evidence of the character of the kind." Past and future are linked in the present moment. Yet, in a sense, the present is parent of both past and future. I AM THAT I AM, at every step of the way, because of the goal to which I press forward, the mark of my high calling. If I am alive and growing, I am no longer what I was yesterday. The past is dead and gone, which means that it is not. All of sweetness and beauty, all of truth and life that the past has held, is now transmuted into the living present; the child is not dead, but developed, in the man. "WHY SEEK YE THE LIVING AMONG THE DEAD?"

History is vital and of value only as it helps us now to realize and to use the present life of the race as a growth, holding, in fuller development of power and grace and beauty, all that was real and enduring in the past. So with persons, places, emotions, and experiences in the individual life. TODAY is master of both yesterday and tomorrow. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof;" sufficient also is the good

thereof. "Before Abraham was I am."

What you are is of more consequence than what you have been or what your ancestors were. That you are some day going to be ten times as great and as good as you are today, or ten times worse, entitles you to neither more or less consideration. In this matter we may

well heed the advice of Omar, the tent-maker:

Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go!
Nor heed the rumble of a distant drum.

The past is of no consequence; the future is none of our business. If we would know life, enjoy life, live life fully, we must let the dead past bury its dead, we must take no thought for the morrow. If we are now loving the Lord, loving Love which is God, with all our hearts, how shall we find time for regret concerning the things of yesterday, for anxious care as to the morrow?

Are we living the life that is ours to live? Not fully unless we tingle and thrill, joyously responsive to whatever revelation of God the moment brings. And every moment brings some revelation, in sky and sea, in sun and stars, in mountain and plain, in leaf and flower, in wind and wave, in light and shade, in form and motion, in sound and fragrance, everywhere in the outer realms of nature and of art. We are not living wholly if we are insensible to the inspiration and uplift of the grand and heroic in human thought and action anywhere, making it our very own. are not truly living if our hearts do not throb with tenderest and truest of loving and giving. We are not living continuously to the full if we do not turn at times from the infinite outerness to the infinite Innerness, finding in its peace and power, its wholeness and completeness, the harmony that makes of inner and outer,

ONE.

"To live," says Victor Hugo, "is to have Justice, Truth, Reason welded to the heart: to know what

And

one is worth, what one can do and should do." we may all realize this heroic conception if we live up to our opportunity.

To the same effect are Walt Whitman's words at the grave of Emerson: "One beyond the warriors of the world lies surely symbolled here. A just man, poised on himself, all-loving, all-inclosing, and sane and clear as the Sun. Nor does it seem so much Emerson himself we are to honor: it is conscience, simplicity, culture, humanity's attributes at their best, yet appplicable if need be to average affairs and eligible to all."

To live is to feel and to know and to do. Man grows by what he feeds on, spiritually as well as materially. Yet not by feeding alone, for nutrition is impossible without exercise just as work is impossible without nutrition. "He that will not work, neither shall he eat." But unless a man eat, he can not keep on working. "Man grows with the growth of his ideals." Every experience and every emotion expands his capacity for larger experience and larger emotion. Poise, harmony, power, are born of antithesis, of action and reaction, of the polarization of opposites, the exertion of the will in overcoming obstacles, which is the price of all attainment. We need not let ourselves be targets for the " slings and arrows of outrageous fortune." We have only to take up the arms of Love against a sea of troubles, and by confronting, end them. The only power that difficulties or obstacles have to trouble us is the power we give them by recognition and acceptance. When we take our stand in the Infinite and put on the whole armor of God, there is none that can stand against us.

Happy is the man who, running the gamut of emotion and experience, retains his hold on himself; who senses his unconquerable soul and, in fearlessness and freedom, stands unmoved, the master of sensation and circumstance. "By living in the whole," Schiller

tells, man becomes immortal." To live in the whole, one must comprehend the whole in its extremes and in all that lies between. By this I do not mean mere intellectual knowledge, but the broad and deep sympathy of spirit that accepts and embraces all in realization of kinship in the unity of all. We cannot know a person until we love that person. In love alone is there understanding. We cannot know anything that we do not love. Success in any art or calling is possible only, when one puts his heart into his work.

I haven't a care nor an anxiety.

I lay down every seeming burden.

The Everlasting Arms are around me, and I fear nothing.

4. That mighty, healing, loving, Fatherly Life is nearer to me than I am to myself.

5. I am surrounded by Good, and live in a fountain of Eternal Strength.

6. The Divine Innermost is already perfect, waiting for me to bring it into the external, therefore,

7. In God's strength I affirm that my (mention the part seemingly diseased) is already strong and well. 8. I bolt the door of thought against every mental picture of imperfection and disease.

9. I deny the tyranny of the senses; I am obedient to Spirit.

IO. Demand brings supply, and no power in the universe can hold it back, therefore,

"All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for believe that ye have received them, and ye shall have them.
