===Opening===
 
Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am glad to have you here this evening. Tonight, let us discuss your ever widening spheres of forbearance and understanding. Many times we have discussed tolerance and forbearance. Let us discuss this as a growing attitude, for when you exercise faith, you can be unmoved whatever the surrounding chaos. This attitude of calm and peace lends the reaction of forbearance.

===Lesson===
 
Let your faith be as un unmovable stone, a firm center, a point of gravity. In this place, you can be tolerant of those things which once frightened you, which once threw you off balance. Faith gives you that certitude, that unshakable confidence in God’s protection and mercy which allows freedom from fear.

   Line 24: Line 24:     
As you move forward upon your path, allow the master to comfort your mind and steady your hearts. Remember always that the work is important, but you yourselves should not take on the importance. Get yourselves out of the way and your fears will go with it. Follow the Master’s leading and you will not be in error. This is not to say that you may not make small mistakes, or you will suddenly become perfect, of course not. But you will begin to think of your lives as service to him and this will lighten your burden not increase it.

Let your faith be unmovable and let the ripples of loving kindness spread out from there. Approach each fellow human being with love and doors will open.
