son why they should come and dwell with them than that
they should come and dwell with us, for the great laws governing all
things are the same today as they were then. If angels come not to
minister unto us it is because we do not invite them, it is because we
keep the door closed through which they otherwise might enter.

In the degree that we are filled with this Spirit of Peace by thus
opening ourselves to its inflow does it pour through us, so that we
carry it with us wherever we go. In the degree that we thus open
ourselves do we become magnets to attract peace from all sources; and
in the degree that we attract and embody it in ourselves are we able to
give it forth to others. We can in this way become such perfect
embodiments of peace that wherever we go we are continually shedding
benedictions. But a day or two ago I saw a woman grasp the hand of a
man (his face showed the indwelling God), saying, "Oh, it does me so
much good to see you. I have been in anxiety and almost in despair
during the past few hours, but the very sight of you has rolled the
burden entirely away." There are people all around us who are
continually giving out blessings and comfort, persons whose mere
presence seems to change sorrow into joy, fear into courage, despair
into hope, weakness into power.

It is the one who has come into the realization of his own true self
who carries this power with him and who radiates it wherever he

great universe there is but one centre,--the Infinite Power that is
working in and through all. The one who then has found his centre is
the one who has come into the realization of his oneness with this
Infinite Power, the one who recognizes himself as a spiritual being,
for God is spirit.

Such is the man of power. Centred in the Infinite, he has thereby, so
to speak, connected himself with, he has attached his belts to, the
great power-house of the universe. He is constantly drawing power to
himself from all sources. For, thus centred, knowing himself,
conscious of his own power, the thoughts that go from his mind are
thoughts of strength; and by virtue of the law that like attracts like,
he by his thoughts is continually attracting to himself from all
quarters the aid of all whose thoughts are thoughts of strength, and in
this way he is linking himself with this order of thought in the
universe.

And so to him that hath, to h
