All these things have see my own inadequacy. More than that, all human insufficiency. To try to do anything for the country seemed like trying to put out a great conflagration with a cup of water, During these years of my mairied life, I Kave gone through three phas- ¢s as related to my religion.

There was no staying now.

Life is really simple and yet how confused we make In old Chinese art, there is just one outstanding object, perhaps a flower on a scroll, Everything else in the picture is subordinate to that beautiful An integrated life is like that What is that one flower? As 1 see it now, it is the will of God. But to know His will, and do it, calls for absolute sincerity, absolute honesty with one's self, and it means using one's mind to the best of one’s abil. ity I used to pray that God would do this or that. Now I pray only that God will make His will known to me Cod speaks to me in prayer. Pray- is not self-hypnotism. It is more than meditation. The Buddhist priests spend days in meditating In meditation the source of strength is one’s self. Dut when one prays he goes to a source of strength greater than his own. 1 wait to feel His Jead- ing. and His gukiance means cer- tainty Prayer is our source of guidance and balance. God is able to enlight- en the understanding. I am often bewildered, because my ming is only finite. I question and doubt my own judgments. Then 1 seek guidance, and when I am sure, I go ahead leaving the results with Him . . . 1 do not think it is possible to make this understandable to ene who has not tried it. To explain to one who has had no experience of get- ting puidance what it means sould be like trying to make a stone-deaf person understand the beauty of a Chopin sonata. What I do want to make clear is that whether we get guidance or not, ‘s there, It's like tuning in on the radio. There's music in the air, whether we tune in or not. By learn- ing to tune in, one can understand How is it done? As Brother Law- rence told us long ago, “by practic- ing the presence of God." By daily eommunion with Him. One cannot expect to be conscious of God's pres- ence when one has only a bowing acquaintance with Him. In conclusion, with me religion «s a very simple thing. It means to try with all my heart and soul and strength and ming to do the will of [Cod one Pe - | SEVEN INITIATED INTO WOMEN OF THE MOOSE Sever, new members were initiated into thie Bellefonte Women of the Moose at a meeting of the order held jest woek in honor of Graduate Reg. ent Leveica Martin, who was pre {sented with a corsage of War Stamps. | The new members are Nora Wil- ison, Miriam Martin, Alice Emel, Anna M.
