blessing comes to us today,
from Him Who is our Father.
Give this day to Him, and there will be no fear today,

Logan Pearsall Smith packed a lot of wisdom into a few words when he said:
"There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what
you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the
second."
Pearsall Smith was born to prominent Quaker parents, his father's family owned
glass factories. He lived for a time in England but attended Haverford College
(a Quaker school near Philadelphia) and Harvard College, then graduated in 1891
from Balliol College, Oxford. He remained in England, taking British
citizenship in 1913.
Guy Finley: Sadly enough, due to the mass marketing of spiritual ideas and
the glut of iconic imagery that goes with that, many people these days believe
they are already self-aware and "living in the Light." So, the first

Lying on what was
supposed to be her deathbed, Mary Baker Eddy opened her Bible, and was led, she declared, by divine guidance
to read these words from Saint Matthew: "And, behold, they brought to him a man

of healing power, that she "immediately got out of bed and walked".
"That experience," Mrs. Eddy declared, "was the falling
apple that led me to the discovery of how to be well myself, and how to make
others so. ... I gained the scientific certainty that all causation was Mind,
and every effect a mental phenomenon."
Such was the way in
which Mary Baker Eddy became the founder and
high priestess of a new religion: Christian Science -the only great religious faith ever
established by a woman- a religion that has encircled the globe.
You are probably
saying to yourself by now: "This man Carnegie is proselytising for Christian Science." No. You are
wrong. I am not a Christian Scientist. But the longer I live, the more deeply I am convinced of the
tremendous power of thought. As a result of thirty-five years spent in teaching
adults, I know men and women can banish worry, fear, and various kind of
illness, and can transform their lives by changing their thoughts. I know! I
know! ! I know! ! ! I have seen such incredible transformations performed
hundreds of times. I have seen them so often that I no longer wonder at them.
