e and
there a subtle, silent force goes out from you that all feel and are
influenced by; so that you carry with you an inspiration and
continually shed a benediction wherever you go; so that your friends
and all people will say,--His coming brings peace and joy into our
homes, welcome his coming; so that as you pass along the street, tired,
and weary, and even sin-sick men and women will feel a certain divine
touch that will awaken new desires and a new life in them; that will
make the very horse as you pass him turn his head with a strange,
half-human, longing look? Such are the subtle powers of the human soul
when it makes itself translucent to the Divine. To know that such a
life is within our living here and now is enough to make one burst
forth with songs of joy. And when the life itself is entered upon, the
sentiment of at least one song will be:

"Oh! I stand in the Great Forever,
All things to me are divine;
I eat of the heavenly manna,
I drink of the heavenly wine.

"In the gleam of the shining rainbow
The Father's Love I behold,
As I gaze on its radiant blending
Of crimson and blue and gold.

"In all the bright birds that are singing,
In all the fair flowers that bloom,
Whose welcome aromas are bringing
Their blessings of sweet perfume;

"In the glorious tint of the morning,
In the gorgeous sheen of the night,
Oh! my soul is lost in rapture,
My senses are lost in sight."

As one comes into and lives continually in the full, conscious
realization of his oneness with the Infinite Life and Power, then all
else follows. This it is that brings the realization of such
splendors, and beauties, and joys as a life that is thus related with
the Infinite Power alone can know. This it is to come into the
realization of heaven's richest treasures while walking the earth.
This it is to bring heaven down to earth, or rather to bring earth up
to heaven. This it is to exchange weakness and impotence for strength;
sorrows and sighings for joy; fears and forebodings for faith; longings
for realizations. This it is to come into fullness of peace, power,
and plenty. This it is to be in tune with the Infinite.
