"Yes, I am anxious to read it, but I have learned a great deal without it."
She took it up again and read without interruption to the end.
"Well, that is quite an explanation of your experience of yesterday, Mr. Hayden," explained Kate smilingly.
"And mine, too," added Grace. "It is comforting to know that there is a scientific reason for it though."
"I think my darkness came earlier in the lessons, for yesterday and to-day have been very bright to me," replied Kate, soberly; "but," she continued, "there is so much about this to admire and so much to prove that the system is founded on Christ's teachings, I can not see where doubt could enter."
"We might not doubt the principle where we would often doubt ourselves," suggested Mr. Hayden.
"Yes," said Grace, "I believe that doubts will come as long as we consider it a personal power."
"Which it is not, of course," interrupted Kate.
"Certainly not, but we must grow into a realization of Truth, we can not change our old natures in a day, and it is only natural at first to feel that it is a personal power because we are given so much personal responsibility."
"I see what you mean," said Mr. Hayden, quietly, leaning back as if thinking deeply. "You mean it is hard to forget self, and I agree with you. This mind of the flesh claims so much wisdom and power of its own that it is hard to attribute everything to a higher power, and let that power work through you; but when we can do that, we have the kernel of the whole system."
