Have you this sense of God within you?



The ideal man of this age is the Christian man—that true embodiment of all that is pure, refined, tender, dignified, consistent, humane, self-forgetful, noble, chivalric. His kindly manners, his cheery conversation, his courteous welcome, his hearty Godspeed, his delight in comforting and helping and bestowing little kindnesses and lifting better up to best, are but the legitimate fruits of Christ love. Pg345
In conclusion, the strongest of all arguments for Christianity is the argument from Christian experience, that subjective conviction which springs from a personal acquaintance and communion with the Saviour, that sense of Christ within one through which he knows the realness of his belief with the same unswerving certainty that he knows his own existence. This cannot be shaken out of the believer in whose heart Christ dwells. Pg353

Life Radiant



Lilian Whiting (1859–1942) was an American journalist and author. Born at Niagara Falls, New York, she was literary editor of the Boston Traveler from 1880 to 1890, editor of the Boston Budget in 1890-93, and afterward spent much of her time in Europe. She died in 1942.






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.

TELEPATHY

. . .
For ages barbarous peoples of both hemispheres have availed themselves of this super-normal faculty of transmitting information and acquiring knowledge. Polynesian, Australian, African, and American Indian medicine-men and scryers still gaze into crystals, "sight-stones” and polished slabs, or stare into water and drops of blood, in order to bring within range intuitive knowledge existing in the sub-consciousness, or to see telepathically visions of events occurring at a distance and unknown to the seer. Telepathic conveyance is the only explanation of accurate information given to a friend of the writer*s more than forty years ago by a Chinaman, concerning the loss of one of his ships eight hundred miles away, afterward verified to the letter as to time, place, and detail. When asked how he knew of the disaster, the Chinese percipient said that when he desired news he went into a certain dark room in Canton and sat down. If any important action chanced to be occurring, it was communicated to his mind by agents stationed at distant points. British officers are authority for the statement that during the Sepoy Mutiny in 1857[1] information regarding the uprising was received by natives in advance of the time required to transmit news by the conventional channels. Similar telepathic sensitiveness on the part of negro seers has been noted by English observers in explanation of the transmission of knowledge by unknown means in different parts of Africa.
