Mental Altitude

[Written Especially for Young People]

OLIVE PEARSON RICE

Perhaps some of you who have traveled by air have found that on a cloudy day one can fly above the clouds in a clear, sunny atmosphere by rising to a higher altitude. At this height, the airplane speeds onward to its goal unhindered.

In our journey from sense to Soul most of us have moments when our mental outlook seems clouded. In school, we may believe that some of our teachers are not co-operative, that we cannot understand a certain subject necessary to our course, or that we have more work assigned to us than we can get through.

Sometimes clouds gather around our home and social life, and sometimes we are tempted to believe that the demands of divine Principle are too strict, and the seeming popularity of those classmates who drink and smoke looks to us just a little bit attractive.
