COMPANIONSHIP

[Of Special Interest to Young People]

HENRY ALLEN NICHOLS

What each one really is, what each one knows of good, what each one manifests of God, is alone companionable. As one knows himself to be the child of God, the reflection of Truth and Love, he has, and knows he has, the power to express good. He knows he has dominion over the propensities of mortal mind.

Human character governed, empowered, purified by spiritually enlightened thinking becomes worthy of human affection and trust; it becomes trustworthy. No one is trustworthy who is dominated by animality, deceit, carnal desire.

Genuine individuality has nothing in common with anything unworthy. By one's active, joyous expression of good, he rejects unworthy qualities and feelings. If anyone clings to those qualities instead of casting them out, he finds that they separate him from the company of those who enjoy good.
