PREFACE - PEACE BE UNTO YOU

Peace be unto you.

Enter and be not afraid.

I have left the gate open.

You are welcome to my home.

I have prepared toast and tea.

You will find comfort and rest within.

The wine is here, also.

It sparkles in the light.

I have set a chair for you

where the sunbeams dance.

Sit, rest and refresh your soul.

Eat of the fruit and drink of the wine.

All, all is yours and you are welcome.

(Adapted from a poem by Ernest Holmes in his book,

The Science of Mind, 1938)
