Glory to God

From the agony of sorrow springs the wonderful growth of a new Tree of Life, planted in another Garden of Eden and watered by the tears of thousands.

The Witness

Nothing can compare

The way of the Cross – the path to Almighty God – nothing can compare with the life to which it leads, nothing can describe the beauty and the love and the knowledge that await every soul – out of sight, yes, perhaps – but just over the hill.

The sacredness of Childhood and Motherhood

The attitude of the soul who realises the strait way of access to God should be as simple as a little child turns to his mother for comfort, knowing she will understand and not fail him.

Fear always means false motives and want of love

Fear always means false motives and want of love. As we advance and gain in spiritual love and strength, fear leaves us, until at the last we dare to stand before God, content to leave ourselves to the judgment of the Holiest of Holy Beings in perfect confidence.

The straight and narrow way leads direct to the Great God of all the worlds

The reality of communication between the planes

Our love and prayers for our departed come straight along a telephone wire and reach them in full force. We can be of the most tremendous assistance to those on the other side.

Tell them to read the story of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth

Tell them to read the story of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth and ask them whom they suppose the wise men were. Nothing more or less than Eastern adepts – psychics of the highest spiritual order!

The survival of a body

So much of our present-day difficulties and false teaching and downright unbelief could be easily demolished with a more intelligent and modern interpretation of set forms and expressions. The resurrection of the body is still interpreted as a coming to life again of the physical body that is put away as a worn-out garment when the ego has finished with it, however distant that event may have been or under what conditions it happened! Could anything be more absurd? No thinking man can believe that bodies which have crumbled to dust thousands of years ago, their graves vanished and every trace gone are coming out of the ground in those very bodies, at what they describe as the sound of the last trumpet!

I am a soul

We confound the use of the word soul; we think it is a possession apart from ourselves, instead of being of one piece; we speak of having a soul instead of I am a soul, living for a time in a material body.

Love is eternal, friendship is eternal, individuality is imperishable and immortal

Love is eternal, friendship is eternal, individuality is imperishable and immortal.

Our innermost core is changeless

From the beginning of time each ego has been a member of the Almighty God and a separate conscious entity and so it always will be. Changes may occur in development, naturally, as evolution progresses but the innermost core of the person is changeless.

The Witness

Let the world recognise that

Individuality lasts through all Eternity. Let the world recognise that.

No final destruction, no permanent punishment, only longer school-time until all the lessons are learned

There is no real difference in the relative position of sinner and saint – not in the sight of our Almighty God.  It is only that one has progressed at a far greater rate than the other and learnt his lessons better and so taken a higher place in his class. The other, backward and slow though he may be, is still a member of the school and the great Headmaster knows that it is only a question of time before he too will be in top form.

Service to others is our highest ideal

Not death, but life, is what He taught

I am come that ye might have life and to have it more abundantly – 

Not death, but life, is what He taught.

Death does not alter a person's character

There are just as many different states of existence

There are just as many different states of existence as there are on the earth.

Life is a wonderful thing

Life is a wonderful thing and a glorious inheritance. 

Keep on trying and success will come in the end

Always remember that in the Master's sight the effort to rise above one's surroundings counts for much, even if the result should be poor. Keep on trying and success will come in the end.

The word of God never fails

The word of God never fails, though often it looks as if perhaps He had forgotten or didn't care very much. It is only man's impatience that says that. God is unswerving in all His ways and He takes a really intimate interest in the affairs and troubles of the nations. Nothing is too trivial for Him; nothing left to chance, all is perfectly orderly and carried out according to certain great laws. You must not forget that this great and wonderful Being has an army of servants under Him with different powers and authority of varying degree and then all of us in the spirit world have our duties and little bits of work to do, as we increase in the knowledge here.
