There is nothing either good or bad,
  	but thinking makes it so.
— Shakespeare    intro to SH iii:4

GOOD.  God; Spirit; omnipotence; omniscience; om-
  	nipresence; omni-action.               Glossary SH 587

		The Divine Being must be reflected by man, — else
  	man is not the image and likeness of the patient,
  	tender, and true, the One "altogether lovely;" but to
15	understand God is the work of eternity, and demands
  	absolute consecration of thought, energy, and desire. 

Prayerful ingratitude
  	    How empty are our conceptions of Deity! We admit
18	theoretically that God is good, omnipotent, omni-
  	present, infinite, and then we try to give
  	information to this infinite Mind. We plead
21	for unmerited pardon and for a liberal outpouring of
  	benefactions. Are we really grateful for the good
  	already received? Then we shall avail ourselves of the
24	blessings we have, and thus be fitted to receive more. 
  	Gratitude is much more than a verbal expression of
  	thanks. Action expresses more gratitude than speech. 
27	    If we are ungrateful for Life, Truth, and Love, and
  	yet return thanks to God for all blessings, we are in-
  	sincere and incur the sharp censure our Master pro-
30	nounces on hypocrites. In such a case, the only
  	acceptable prayer is to put the finger on the lips and
  	remember our blessings. While the heart is far from
 1	divine Truth and Love, we cannot conceal the ingrati-
  	tude of barren lives.                  SH  Prayer 3:12
