RELIGIOUS SERVICE

 

'Mary gave us a very interesting message once concerning prayer. Can you also tell us something of your religious services?'

 

"We have no church service, no creed, no rules, except the service of kindness and love. Our prayer is the spontaneous expression of joy and gratitude. But we constantly recognize an All-Wise, All-Loving, All-Pervasive Power, whom mortals call God. We recognize and serve this Power by trying to conform our lives and actions to this Protecting Love. If this Power so cares for us, why should we not use our own lesser powers for those whom we can help? We feel sure that this is the only acceptable worship of the Most High."

 

'By what name do you speak of this Power?'

 

"No name other than the Most High, the Great First Cause, or Loving Power, or other expression of confidence and loving worship. Christ is the greatest expression of that confidence and love, and we look to him as our teacher and elder brother.

 

"Cultivate the personal qualities of patience, gentleness and helpfulness, and you will be cultivating your own spirit life."

 

'Where are Mary and Dee?'

 

"Out in space somewhere. I do not know their particular interest today, but there is always interest. Do not forget that."

 

'Interest enough for the whole twenty-four hours without sleep or rest?'
