He Who Plants Kindness Gathers Love.

When A Sunbeam Falls On A Transparent Substance, The Substance Itself Becomes Brilliant, And Radiates Light From Itself. So Too Spirit Bearing Souls, Illumined By Him, Finally Become Spiritual Themselves, And Their Grace Is Sent Forth To Others. From This Comes Knowledge Of The Future, Understanding Of Mysteries, Apprehension Of Hidden Things, Distribution Of Wonderful Gifts, Heavenly Citizenship, A Place In The Choir Of Angels, Endless Joy In The Presence Of God, Becoming Like God, And, The Highest Of All Desires, Becoming God.

Extirpate Two Thoughts Within Thyself: Do Not Consider Thyself Worthy Of Anything Great, And Do Not Think That Any Other Man Is Much Lower Than Thou In Worthiness. Learn Humble Mindedness Beforehand, Which The Lord Commanded In Word And Showed Forth In Deed. Hence, Do Not Expect Obedience From Others, But Be Ready For Obedience Thyself.

The Bread Which You Use Is The Bread Of The Hungry; The Garment Hanging In Your Wardrobe Is The Garment Of Him Who Is Naked; The Shoes You Do Not Wear Are The Shoes Of The One Who Is Barefoot; The Acts Of Charity That You Do Not Perform Are So Many Injustices That You Commit.

Human Life Is But Of Brief Duration. 'all Flesh Is Grass, And All The Goodliness Thereof Is As The Flower Of The Field. The Grass Withers, The Flower Fades; But The Word Of Our God Shall Stand Forever' (isa. 40:6, 8). Let Us Hold Fast To The Commandment That Abides, And Despise The Unreality That Passes Away.

We Should Not Accept In Silence The Benefactions Of God, But Return Thanks For Them.
