ONE OF THE strangest contradictions one meets in life is the stubbornness displayed by the average human in refusing to place absolute trust in his Creator.

Ask the average man, and he will admit his belief in God, acknowledge His works, and pay Him reverence as the Author of his being; but he will balk when it comes to trusting Him and believing He knows best what is good for him and how to provide for his every need.

Yet let this same man have need of a doctor, and without hesitation he will submit to a serious operation involving his very life, and he will do it with perfect confidence in the doctor, even though he may be a stranger to him.

If he would stop to think that behind the skilful knife and steady nerves of the doctor there is present and assisting a much greater Physician, without Whose help the doctor would be as nothing, and then would put all his trust in this Physician, how much surer would be the results?

Yes, he forgets Who—where—God is—that all the help, the life, intelligence and power to do or to be anything comes from this Author of his being. And he thinks that he, little man, knows best how to order and live his life; not knowing that the God within him has his life all planned from the beginning and that every experience, incident, and even accident, is an arranged part of the plan and is intended to develop his character, to teach him understanding, to free him from his lower nature; so that finally he will recognize, acknowledge and turn to God, and allow Him to guide him the rest of the way.

THE BOUND volume of 1933 Magazines is finally ready for delivery. It is a handsome book and everyone is much pleased with its appearance and substantial binding. The Special Instructions and more than 500 Questions took much longer to compile than was expected; but it will prove to be the most comprehensive and valuable text-book for a study of the Soul that has ever been put in print.

As their number is limited we advise all those thinking of having a copy to place their orders early.
