The quest for this unwearied peace is constant and universal. Probe deeply into the teaching of Buddha, Maimonides, or a Kempis, and you will discover that they base their diverse doctrines on the foundation of a large spiritual serenity. Analyze the prayers of troubled, overborne mankind of all creeds, in every ageand their petitions come down to the irreducible common denominators of daily bread and inward peace. Grown men do not pray for vain trifles. When they lift up their hearts and voices in the valley of tears they ask for strength and courage and understanding.

In this vast universe There is but one supreme truth That God is our friend By that truth meaning is given To the remote stars, the numberless centuries, The long and heroic struggle of mankind ... O my Soul, dare to trust this truth Dare to rest in Gods kindly arms, Dare to look confidently into His face, Then launch thyself into life unafraid Knowing thou art within my Fathers house, That thou art surrounded by His love, Thou wilt become master of fear, Lord of Life, conqueror even of death.
