INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHTS

   

 "If the matter is powerful, the thought is omnipotent. Bring this thought to bear upon your life, fill yourselves with the thought of your almightiness, your majesty and glory.  Would to God no superstitions had been put into your head! Would to God we had not been surrounded from our birth by all these superstitions influences and paralyzing ideas of our weakness and vileness."
