TYPES By T0K1 SCHALK JOHNSON XTomtn't Editor Toki's Sermonette "Lo, I am with you always." ONCE WE MAKE UP OUR MINDS that is with us at all times, within reach of our voices and the whispers within our hearts, part of the earthly battle Is won.

For living is a battle, in which those with stamina, faith and courage win and those who approach each day with fear, end with fear. And there is no peace in them. To be convinced that God is with us each minute, sit alone and let your mind take you into the peaceful outer bounds, beyond human manipulation. Sit quietly, let your hands rest in your lap; relax, empty your mind and invite the spiritual host into your very being. If you are truly alone, talk aloud; tell Him your problems.

Ask Him to open your mind so that confusion may flow out and understanding may come in. There Is no problem In the world that cannot be understood, perhaps solved, if you give Him a chance.
