May 10th. Do not grudge the hand that is moulding the still too shapeless
image within you. It is growing more beautiful, though you see it not,
and every touch of temptation may add to its perfection. Therefore keep
in the midst of life. Do not isolate yourself. Be among men, and among
things, and among troubles, and difficulties, and obstacles. The Greatest
Thing in the World.
May 11th. Contemplate the love of Christ, and you will love. Stand before
that mirror, reflect Christ's character, and you will be changed into the

love with it, and grow into likeness to it. The Greatest Thing in the
World.
May 12th. In the natural world it only requires a single vital
correspondence of the body to be out of order to ensure Death. It is not

body to the grave, if it have heart disease. He who is fatally diseased
in one organ necessarily pays the penalty with his life, though all the
others be in perfect health.
