The
matchless parable of the prodigal son, recorded in the fifteenth chapter of Luke's Gospel and familiar to all Bible students, not only grows dearer with repeated perusal, but with every reading unfolds fresh beauty and added inspiration.
At
a Christian Science Wednesday evening testimony meeting an aviator gave a testimony in which he pointed out that by being assigned, contrary to his desire, to what in aviation parlance is termed "back-seat duty," which is considered inferior to piloting as he had been doing, he was enabled to realize his divine birthright of dominion over untoward conditions.

Thanks
, thanks for the wings of thought!With them may I spurn the sod;I may mount to the height of eternal day—I may rise to the realm of God:Though my heel to the hard earth cling,And though mists may cover my eyes,The pinions of Love will lift me aboveThe creature that suffers and dies.
