April 26th. A want of patience, a want of kindness, a want of generosity,
a want of courtesy, a want of unselfishness, are all instantaneously
symbolized in one flash of Temper. The Greatest Thing in the World.
April 27th. Souls are made sweet not by taking the acid fluids out, but
by putting something in--a great Love, a new Spirit--the Spirit of
Christ. The Greatest Thing in the World.
April 28th. Christ, the Spirit of Christ, interpenetrating ours,
sweetens, purifies, transforms all. This only can eradicate what is
wrong, work a chemical change, renovate and regenerate, and rehabilitate
the inner man. Will-power does not change men. Time does not change men.
Christ does. The Greatest Thing in the World.
April 29th Guilelessness is the grace for suspicious people. And the
possession of it is the great secret of personal influence. You will
find, if you think for a moment, that the people who influence you are
people who believe in you. In an atmosphere of suspicion men shrivel up;
but in that atmosphere they expand, and find encouragement and educative
fellowship. The Greatest Thing in the World.
April 30th. Do not quarrel . . . with your lot in life. Do not complain
of its never-ceasing cares, its petty environment, the vexations you have
to stand, the small and sordid souls you have to live and work with.
