TRUE HERITAGE

All that the Father has,Dear child, belongs to you.

SIGNPOSTS

Along the highway of our GodThe way of holiness is marked:To Life, it is to live each step;To Love, to love with every breath;To Mind, to know Mind's pure ideas;To Soul, to feel all harmony;To Spirit, to be open toA quickened thought; to Principle,In strict obedience to act;To Truth, to choose the good and true.

I CHANGE MY COURSE

I cannot walk alone.

THE COMMAND

I SHALL NOT FEAR

SAFETY

We move with known impunity,A great and mighty caravanAware of the divine decree—His eyes are on the ways of man.
