That love which loves enemies has nothing but love for any man. This means the exclusion of every discordant thought.

The result of this exclusion will be perfection. Perfection is a dizzy height for man to contemplate.

The best men have looked toward it, but have not dared to hope for it, either for themselves or their fellows, except as the result of a miracle; and the scientists, philosophers, and best ethical teachers have never dared more than to hint at it except as the remotest possibility; but Jesus taught it; science and philosophy confirm it; and each Christian with humbleness of heart can look up, take courage, and determine to win it.

That this can be accomplished has been made plain again and again in these pages. We can love our enemies only after we have first excluded all discord- ant thinking about them; that done, we can truly love them; and then we shall show forth that we are indeed our Father's children, as perfect as He is perfect; and that is absolute perfection.

Wonderful as this perfection is, yet every precept of Jesus, the Christ, aims at nothing less, and each of them if complied with in its completeness will bring this result.

That he did not require impossibilities of us is seen in the logical demonstration that this seemingly most impossible of all his requirements is possible of attainment.

Indeed, each one of his precepts which is here considered may be fulfilled to its ultimate by following his method -- the exclusion of discordant thinking from the mind.

Therefore no man need be discouraged by the tremendousness nor by the sublimity and glory of the object. Each may say with supreme confidence and humility: "I, too, can master my own mind."

No man is working alone, for God Himself works always with him who is seeking the right.

"Ye therefore shall be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect."

There is no more fitting counsel for the close of this book than is contained in the following words from The School of Life, by William R. Alger: --

"And now there is one more lesson for us to learn, the climax of all the rest; namely, to make a personal application to ourselves of everything which we know. Unless we master this lesson, and act on it, the other lessons are virtually useless, and thus robbed of their essential glory. The only living end or aim of everything we experience, of every truth we are taught, is the practical use we make of it for the enrichment of the soul, the attuning of the thoughts and passions, the exaltation of life. . . . When we do what we know, then first does it put on vital lustre and become divinely precious."
