3 SILENCE LESSON 1, CONT'D THIS SILENCE PERIOD IS TO REVEAL TO US THAT THE ETERNAL STILLNESS IN THE DEPTHS OF OUR OWN SOUL LINKS US WITH OMNIPRESENT LIFE--EVEN OOD. "TO BE ALONE WITH SILENCE IS TO BE ALONE WITH GOD." "BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD." IT IS YOUR FATHERIS GOOD PLEASURE TO GIVE YOU THE KINGDOM--JESUS. LET US AFFIRM SILENTLY: "IN THE SILENT STILLNESS OP MY SOUL I GIVE MY MIND AND HEART TO THEE, AND THY LIFE FLOODS MY WHOLE BEING." PERSISTENCE IN REALIZING THE TRUTH OF LIVING WORDS OPENS THE DOOR TO ETERNAL LIFE. IF A MAN KEEP MY WORD, HE SHALL NEVER TASTE OF DEATH--JESUS. WE FORGET THE FAILURES OF THE PAST AND PRESS FORWARD TO THE GOAL OF GODIS MAN, PERFECTION IN CHRIST. MFOR WHAT SHALL A MAN BE PROFITED. IF HE SHALL GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD, AND FORFEIT HIS LIFE?" LET US JOIN WITH PAUL IN CLAIMING: "YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD." LET US DROP OUR LOVE OFFERING FOR THESE LESSONS IN THE BASKET AT THE DOOR WITH THIS BLESSING: "DIVINE LOVE THROUGH ME BLESSES AND MULTIPLIES YOU.R

4 SILENCE LESSON 2 - PROSPERITY "THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD; I SHALL NOT WANT. HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES; HE LEADETH ME BESIDE THE STILL WATERS. HE RESTORETH MY SOUL." MTHOU PREPAREST A TABLE BEFORE ME IN THE PRESENCE OF MINE ENEMIES: THOU ANOINTEST MY HEAD WITH OIL; MY CUP RUNNETH OVER. SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE; AND I SHALL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVIm." "MY CUP RUNNETH OVER." THE ETHERS ARE CRAMMED WITH ELEMENTS, SPLENDID BEYOND IMAGINATION. ALL EAGERLY WAITING MAN' S EXPLORATION AliD USE. "THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE UNTO A MAN THAT ISA MERCHANT SEEKING GOODLY PEARLS: AND HAVING FOUND ONE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE HE WEN A#D SOLD ALL THAT HE HAD, AND'BOUGHT 1,. "BUT SEEK YE FIRST HIS KINGDOM, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS: AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU." SILENT WORD I AM THANKFUL FOR THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS THE FATHER IS GOOD PLEASURE,TO GIVE ME ALL THE RICHES OF HIS KINGDOM. "IF THOU RETURN TO THE ALMIGHTY, THOU SHALT BE BUILT UP... THEN SHALT THOU LAY UP GOLD AS DUST, AND THE GOLD OF OPHIR AS THE STONES OF THE BROOKS.- YEA, THE ALMIGHTY SHALL BE THY DEFENSE, AND THOU SHALT HAVE PLENTY OF SILVER." MY CONSCIOUSNESS IS FILLED TO OVER- FLOWING WITH THY ABUNDANCE, AND I DELIGHT TO MEDITATE UPON THEE AS MY INEXHAUSTIBLE RESOURCE. FREE-WILL OFFERING - BASKET AT THE DOOR.

5 I SILENCE LESSON 3 - TRUTH TRUTH IN_ITS HIGHEST IS THE EX. PRESSION OF AND CONFORMATION TO DIVINE LAW. "YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE." I AM FREE FROM ERROR IN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH. TRUTH - LAW WHOEVER KEEPS THE LAW AS LAID DOWN IN TRUTH COMES TO THE LIGHT OF DIVINE UNDERSTANDING. nwhile YE HAVE THE LIGHT, BELIEVE ON THE LIGHT, THAT YE MAY BECOME SONS OF LIGHT." I BELIEVE IN THE LIGHT OF THE LAW, ALWAYS WITH ME IN CHRIST. SPIRIT OF TRUTH IHOWBEIT WHEN HE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, IS COME, HE SAAIL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL THE TRUTH." "THEN OPENED HE THEIR MIND, THAT THEY la GHT UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES." MY MIND IS OPEN TO THE GUIDING LIGHT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AS PROMISED BY CHRIST. FREE-WILL OFFERING: BASKET AT THE DOOR "DIVINE LOVE THROUGH ME BLESSES AND MULTIPLIES THIS OFFERING."

6 SILENCE LESSON 4 - LOVE "THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE : AND THOU SHALT LOVE ithe LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL TlrY MIND, AND WITH ALL THY STRENGTH." THE WORLDS ARE POISED AND BALANCED IN TIm EQUALIZ:ENG PRINCIPLE OF LOVE. WHEN THE MIND OF MAN DECREES LOVE, SUBSTANCE OBEYS, AND :PROSPERITY AND HEALTH FOLLOW. THY ALL-INFOLDING LOVE IS MY HEALTH AND MY PROSPERITY. SELF." "THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THY- THOUGHTS OF LOVE DISSOLVE ALL DESTRUC- TIVE FORCES OF EVIL AND ESTABLISH THE GOOD, THE TRUE, AND. THE BEAUTIFUL. MY SOUL IS FLOODED WITH A DIVINE LOVE THAT FLOWS TO ALL MEN EVERYWHERE, AND PEACE AND PROSPERITY ARE DECLARED FOR ALL. "IF I SPEAK WITH THE TONGUES OF MEN AND OF ANGELS, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I AM BECOME SOUNDING BRASS, OR A CLANGING CYMBAL.I' "LOVE NEVER FAILETH." LOVE DEEPENS, STRENGTHENS, AND ELEVATES MAN TO HEAVENLY ASPIRATIONS AND ATTAIN- MENTS. WITHOUT LOVE MAN IS GREATNESS ENDS, IN DUST AND ASHES. "BUT NOW ABIDETH FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, THESE THREE: AND THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE." FREEWILL OFFERING--BASKETS AT THE DOOR "DIVINE LOVE THROUGH TIPLIES THIS OFFERING."

I -'.4 SIL a LESSON 5 - WISDOM "BUT THE HOUR COMETH, AND NOW IS, WHEN THE TRUE WORSHIPPERS SHALL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH: FOR SUCH DOTH THE FATHER SEEK TO BE HIS WORSHIPPERS." THE TRUE WORSHIP OF GOD IS NOT SERVILE SUBJECTION TO THE WILL OF THE FATHER, BUT A SINCERE DESIRE TO LEARN AND FULFILL THE DIVINE LAW. "FOR I DELIGHT IN THE LAW OF GOD AFTER THE INWARD:MANJ" "I DELIOHT TO DO THY WILL, 0 MY GOD; YEA, THY LAW IS WITHIN MY HEART." "IF YE ABIDE-IN MY WORD, THEN ARE YE TRULY MY DISCIPLES; AND YE SNIE KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE-TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE." JESUS ATTAINED CREATIVE SPIRITUAL UNDER- STANDING, WHICH IN THE NEW TESTAMENT IS CALLED THE WORD OR LOGOS. THOSE WHO FOLLOW JESUS IN KEEPING THE DIVINE LAW BECOME IDEN- TIFIED WITH HIM AND THE WORD, WHICH WAS WITH GOD AND WAS GOD, ACCORDING TO THE IST CHAP- TER OF JOHN. I LOVE TO IDENTIFY MY MIND WITH THE MIND OF JESUS CHRIST AND THY OMNIPRESENT WORD OF WISDOM. "BUT THE COMFORTER, EVEN THE HOLY SPIRIT, WIIOM THE FATHER WILL SEND IN MY NAME, HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, AND BRING TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE ALL THAT I SAID UNTO YOU." OF THE MANY SPECIAL PROMISES MADE BY JESUS TO HIS FOLLOWERS THE MOST FAR-REACH- ING IS THAT THEY SHALL HAVE A SPIRITUAL TEACHER, THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHO WILL TO THEM BECOME AN OMNIPRESENT INSTRUCTOR IN ALL MATTERS PERTAINING TO TRUTH. ALL OTIEER SOURCES OF WISDOM ARE SECONDARY TO SPIRIT. I ACKNOWLEDGE THE HOLY SPIRIT PROMISED BY JESUS CHRIST, NOW HERE GUIDING ME UNTO ALL TRUTHI

8 'F,+a.*MI."m t I. - - LESSON 6 - POWER "AND GOD BLESSED THEM: AND GOD SAID UNTO THEM, BE FRUITFUL, AND MULTIPLY, AND REPLENISH THE EARTH, AND SUBDUE IT; AND-HAVE DOMINION OVER THE FISH OF THE SEA, AND OVER THE BIRDS OF THE HEAVENS, AND OVER EVERY LIVING THING THAT MOVETH UPON THE EARTH." GOD IS SPIRIT. MAN, HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS, IS ALSO SPIRIT. SO MAN AND ALL THE CREATIONS OF GOD MENTIONED IN THE 1ST CHAPTER OF GENESIS ARE SPIRIT- UAL. CONSEQUENTLY MAN'S DOMINION MUST BE OVER THE SPIRITUAL rdeas REPRESENTED BY "EARTH," "FISH," "BIRDS," AND "EVERY LIVING THING." 8ILENT WORD I HAVE POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER ALL MY THOUGHTS, AND ALL NATURE IS OBEDIENT TO MY LOVING DOMINION. "THOU SHALT ALSO DECREE A THING, AND IT SHALL BE ESTABLISHED UNTO THEE." "WHOSOEVER... SHALL NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, BUT SHALL BELIEVE THAT WHAT HE SAITH COMETH TO PASS; ]IE SHALL HAVE IT." WHEN MAN PLACES HIS MIND IN SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS AND CASTS OUT DOUBT AND FEAR, HE CAN MAKE DECLARATIONS AND HAVE ' THE ASSURANCE OF THEIR FULFILLMENT. EVEN EVERY IDLE WORD IS RECORDED IN THE ETHER; THEN HOW POTENT IS THE WORD SENT FORTH WITH A MIGHTY PURPOSEI IN THE POWER AND AUTHORITY OF MY CHRIST MIND I DECREE THAT GOOD AND GOOD ONLY SHALL DOMINATE ALL MY THOUGHTS AND WORDS. "BUT YE SHALL RECEIVE POWER, WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS COME UPON YOU: AND YE SHALL BE MY WITNESSES BOTH IN JERUSALEM, AND IN ALL JUDAEA AND SAMARIA, AND UNTO THE UTTER- MOST PART OF THE EARTH." SPIRITUAL POWER SUFFICIENT TO OVERCOME ALL THE ERROR AND EVIL.TENDENCIES OF THE SENSE MIND IS PROMISED TO THOSE WHO FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST IN THE REGENERATION. WE BE- COME CONSCIOUS OF THAT POWER BY CLAIMING IT IN HIS NAME.
