While on a crowded subway one afternoon I was suddenly aware that my wallet had been lifted and the thief was jumping from the train. I followed, but lost sight of him at the top of the subway stairs.

"Oh, no, this can't happen to me" was my first reaction. But the next thought was a better, more confident one. "That's right—this can't happen to me!" And I was at once conscious of the spiritual facts behind this statement—reasons why such a thing could not go on in my day.

First, I knew that God was present. Second, I was aware that experience is controlled and governed by our acceptance of His presence as law. Third, I was sure of a line from the Lord's Prayer—the conviction in Christ Jesus' words, "Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" (Matt. 6:10).
