HE best sermon is the practice of Truth, and its

demonstration through the destruction of sin, sickness, and death. Knowing that one affection will be supreme in us, and take the lead in our lives, Jesus said, “No man can serve two masters.”

We do not build safely on false foundations. Truth makes a new creature, wherein old things pass away and “all things are become new.” Passions, selfishness, appetites, — all sensuality, — yield to spirituality, and the superabundance of Being is on the side of God.

We cannot fill vessels already full. They must first

be emptied. Let us empty ourselves of error. When the sun shines, let us not hug our tatters close about us.

The way to extract error from mortal mind is to pour in Truth through floodtides of Love. Christian perfection is won on no other basis.
