Daily meditation, Apr. 29th: James Allen

Knowledge is for him who seeks; Wisdom crowneth him who strives; Peace in sinless silence speaks: All things perish, Truth survives.

APRIL TWENTY -NINTH

INCREASE thy strength and self-reliance; make the spectres of thy mind obey thy will; See thou command thyself, nor let no mood. No subtle passion nor no swift desire Hurl thee to baseness; but, shouldst thou be hurled. Rise, and regain thy manhood, taking gain Of lowliness and wisdom from thy fall. Strive ever for the mastery of thy mind, and glean some good from every circumstance That shall confront thee; make thy store of strength richer for ills encountered and overcome. Submit to naught but nobleness; rejoice like a strong athlete straining for the prize, when thy full strength is tried.

Follow where Virtue leads High and still higher; Listen where Pureness pleads, Quench not her fire. Lo ! He shall see Reality, Who cometh upward, cleansed from all desire.
