R a y m o n d C harles B a rker is n a tu ra l to a ll o f us. It is a S p iritu a l P rin c ip le w hich ru n s through a ll phases o f life. T he rejo icin g m ind is the p ro sp e rin g m ind. H e who knows th at L ife backs him up is su re to b rin g g re a t good to pass.

Y ou a re never isolated. A ll o f God is b e ­ h in d you and seeking to express th ro u g h you. T he Infinite never lim its Its creation. It gives a lik e to all. P ra is e is the recognition o f the P o w er which accom plishes. It m akes re a d y the consciousness fo r la rg e r ideas to fun ctio n . As y o u r presen t an d fu tu re is dependent on the id eas w hich govern y o u r thinking, you can use the p rin cip le o f T hanksgiving to good ad van­ tage. Y o u r acknow ledgem ent o f God as y o u r source indicates th at you are aw are o f the tru e processes of life. T hanksgiving is as old as m an. F rom p rim i­ tive p eo p le to the p resen t, m an has been aw are th at m uch o f life is beyond his causation, and th e re fo re w orthy o f his recognition. T he very

processes o f b irth , grow th, m a tu rity and finally death , in d icates an O rd e r an d a P la n . T he n a tu ra l w o rld aro u n d you is S p iritu a l in its o rig in al, an d the thinking m ind knows this. H e cannot create an oak le a f. God blesses m an constantly in w ays beyond nu m b er. A ll c re a ­ tion d eclares the h an d iw o rk o f a M ind w hich knows and a Love that gives. As you affirm y o u r ap p reciatio n o f the life th at is d isp lay ed aro u n d you, and the m ighty forces o f M ind which a re w ithin you, you p ro sp e r im m ed iately. T he Infinite m oves upon the recognition o f Itself. W here m an knows God, th ere the P ow er acts. It cannot act save you know It is acting. T hat is why Jesus con­ stan tly affirmed God as his source o f au th o rity . As you p ra ise L ife, It increases in y o u r experience. As you p ra ise the S p irit in P ro s­ p erity , you have m ore m oney. Bless w hat you w ant, and say no to w hat you do not w ant. T his p rin c ip le o f treatm en t is as old as the h ills them selves. T he basis o f tith in g has never lim ited the one who tithed. A lw ays he has p ro sp ered . Give ten percent o f your incom e to sp iritu a l activities and give ten percent o f y o u r th in k in g tim e to acknow ledging the P rin c ip le which p ro sp ers you. T his is y o u r g u aran tee fo r plenty.

E x p e c t ^Icw E xperiences o f u l f i l l o u r law o f progress we m ust alw ays look ah ead . N ot everyone realizes the extent to w hich he is lim ited by sub ­ conscious th in k in g about the past. T he good old days b rin g p sychological lim itatio n s. W hen we try to re cap tu re a g lo ry we h ad in the past we lim it ourselves. H ow ever, w hen we look fo rw a rd we expect g re a te r accom plishm ents th an any we have ever experienced in the past. O ne o f o u r g re at artists when asked w hich was his greatest p ain tin g alw ays re p lie d , “ T he next one th at I d o .” H e alw ays looked ah ead . The g re atest song is yet to be sung. T he great A m erican novel is yet to be w ritten. O u r g re a t­ est talen ts are yet to be aw akened an d brought fo rth into th e ir f u ll expression.

W e have access to the one M ind o f the u n i­ verse but it can b rin g new ness into o u r lives o nly th rough new concepts. I f we assum e that we know all the tru th we w ould be shutting out new concepts o f tru th . M ind is infinite and we can keep ourselves receptive to its infinite flow. Robert H. Bitzer

S p iritu a l M ind T re a t­ m ent, y o u r dem o n stratio n is delayed, do you blam e the L aw ? Do you say : “ P ra y e r an d T reatm en t w ork fo r som e, bu t not fo r m e” ?

T he T ru th is: there is no one to blam e but yo u rse lf. If p ra y e r o r treatm en t ever b ro u g h t p erfec t resu lts (a n d it m ost c e rta in ly h a s) it can w ork every tim e and in every place. T here is no f a il ­ u re in G od, no fa ilu re in the Law. The C rea­ tive P ow er o f M ind is a v a ila b le to each o f us, to the extent th at we can believe an d em body. N othing can h in d e r o u r Good fro m m a n ife st­ ing except o u r own lack o f confident expecta­ tion. W e can d irect the L aw to accom plish w hatsoever it is possible fo r us to conceive. Stop b lam in g the L aw ; th e re is no lim itatio n outside o u r own lack o f p e rfe c t F aith. T here is no fa ilu re except in o u r in ab ility or re fu sa l to en larg e o u r consciousness to include all th at we w ould m anifest. Face y o u r resp o n sib ility . Success in T re a t­ m ent is up to you. ^

changing w orld, it is som etim es o v er­ w helm ing to keep u p w ith the constant p re s­ sures of life. T h ere is, fo rtu n a te ly , help fo r all. T he secret o f k eeping pace w ith life is com ­ p o su re and peace o f m ind. T his can only be a ttain ed by “ F aith , w hich surpasses all u n d e r­ sta n d in g .” B ut th at fa ith m ust be firm ly anch­ o re d in a pow er g re a te r than we a re . T hat p ow er is the Infinite M ind of God. W e little realize how often we use Infinite M ind and how m uch it w orks in o u r lives. B ut w hen we co n sider th a t G od’s Infinite M ind is everyw here, because S c rip tu re tells us th at God is O m nipresent, we u n d ersta n d th at the m ind we use m ust also be a p a rt o f a U n iv ersal W holeness. T he B ible tells us, God is Love, w hich m eans self-givingness, th e re fo re , every positive and affirm ative thought is using the pow er o f God, w h erev er it is directed. In R eligious Science we believe th a t affirma­ tive p ra y e r is the secret to the p ro sp ero u s and h ea lth y life.
