_Know well, my soul, God's hand controls
Whate'er thou fearest;
Round Him in calmest music rolls
Whate'er thou hearest._

_What to thee is shadow, to Him is day,
And the end He knoweth.
And not on a blind and aimless way
The spirit goeth._

THE GOLDEN AGE LIES ONWARD.

"The Golden Age lies onward, not behind.
The pathway through the past has led us up:
The pathway through the future will lead on,
And higher."

The Life Radiant is that transfiguration of the ordinary daily events
and circumstances which lifts them to the spiritual plane and sees them
as the signs and the indications of the divine leading. Every
circumstance thus becomes a part of the revelation; and to constantly
live in this illuminated atmosphere is to invest all experiences with a
kind of magical enchantment. Life prefigures itself before us as a
spiritual drama in which we are, at once, the actors and the spectators.
The story of living goes on perpetually. The days and the years
inevitably turn the pages and open new chapters. Nothing is ever
hopeless, because new combinations and groupings create new results. The
forces that determine his daily life are partly with man and partly with
God. They lie in both the Seen and the Unseen. We are always an
inhabitant of both realms, and to recognize either alone and be blind to
the other is to deprive ourselves of the great sources of energy. The
divine aid, infinite and all-potent as it is, capable at any moment of
utterly transforming all the conditions and transferring them to a
higher plane, is yet limited by the degree of spiritual receptivity in
the individual. As one may have all the air that he is able to breathe,
so may one have all the aid of the Holy Spirit which he is capable of
receiving. Man can never accept so gladly and so freely as God offers;
but in just the proportion to which he can, increasingly, lift up his
