As the disciples sat with Jesus at the Passover they asked the question, Is it I? This they asked because he had spoken of treason among them. Our knowledge of the past is a present consciousness. History repeats itself. We must assign the lessons of old to the pupils of today. This question, Is it I? is a question to be answered now. Let our daily prayer be the prayer of David, a prayer for sincerity: "Search me, oh God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts."
In this world of sensible phenomena, which speak only of themselves and to themselves, we must ever watch, pray, and strive that we may overcome their claims.
The shadow of worldliness eclipses our sunlight of Truth, and hides the glory of God. The fruit of the tree is the embodiment of the life within the tree. Our outward manifestations are the expression of our thoughts.
