In the quiet hour the mind can be adjusted before meeting people or facing difficult problems. The day’s duties and responsibilities can be committed to God. We can memorize a Scripture verse to chew on during the day. We should be alert to look for some special thought or message in our reading.

In the Event of Any Disagreement or Dispute Arising, the Matter Shall Be Referred to an Arbitrator.

The person who is to be envied is the one who, in consciousness of his spiritual bankruptcy, is cast back on God and draws on His limitless resources.

The Disciple’s Ambition So whether I am at home or away from home, it is my constant ambition to please Him. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:9 WILLIAMS
