+If the word "Death," had never been known to human thought, or

+A little country boy whose mother everlastingly nagged him about being
+good, but whose father was ever telling him about the beautiful things
+in the city, ended his prayer with this: "O, God make me such a good
+boy, that when I die I can go to New York."

+Observe your opportunities to be kind. A little boy was sitting in his
+father's lap in the street car when a charming young lady entered, and
+as the little fellow observed there was no seat, he quickly jumped off
+his father's lap and said to the young lady, "please take my seat."

+A mighty Emperor was stricken with a malady; his court physicians
+gave him up to die. He called in his magicians and they told him if he
+would wear the shirt of a happy man he would recover. He ordered his
+kingdom searched for a happy man. They found him, up in the silent
+mountains, but alas, he had no shirt.
+
+No, Satan did not bring the temptation to Eve instead of Adam,
+because woman was a weaker, and man a superior being. He brought the
+temptation to Eve because a woman isn't afraid of the Devil. If he had
+brought it to Adam, he would have been running yet.

+=Dedication=
+
+This book is gratefully dedicated to the kindly memory of two eminent
+physicians, long since gone from this earth plane, who professionally
+observed my fourth physical eclipse by rheumatic fever; and who
+hopefully assured me, as I fluttered weakly from the shadow, that I
+could never pass thru it again. When I received their bills I was sure
+I could not.

+Prayer should always prepare you for action. For example, little
+Willie was saying his prayer, and his sister, seeing his pink toes
+sticking out from under his nightie, tickled them. Willie grew red in
+the face and suddenly exclaimed: "O God, excuse me a minute while I
+get up and knock the stuffing out of Susie."

+=The Fore=word=
+
+
+Life is self-realization. Every birth is divine. We are born anew
+every morning. My wish is that you may catch the gleam, be freed
+from limitations and enter upon your boundless possibilities. Your
+endowments are so rich and rare. There is no other person in the world
+just like you. You have genius, which, if it were brought forth into
+the sunlight, would glorify with brilliant inspiration a thousand
+lives. You have insight that, if it were energized, would make the
+desert blossom as the rose. You have initiative that once illuminated
+would create an empire fairer than any ever raised in marble. You
+have harmony lying latent in the vast octaves of your being, which
+if awakened into melody would sooth, comfort, restore, and purify the
+passions of a world. You have beauty, matchless in forms of grace,
+which if breathed into marble, or spread in soul colors upon the
+canvass would adorn the palaces of kings. You have thoughts which if
+given expression would burn and shine thru countless ages and bear
+their messages of hope and power to fainting multitudes.
+
+To bring you into the throne-room of your being, that you may awaken
+in self-realization, is why I have prepared this course of lessons.
+Should you give five minutes a day to them, in a year you will know
+the joy there is in Life, in Power, and in Service.

+=This Supreme Day=
+
+
+Out of the tomb of night a day has risen. Be not anxious, this day
+is all your own. Do not hurry, for in time it is like all other days.
+Neither delay, for NOW is opportunity.
+
+Early turn your face to the dawn and let its beams bathe away all
+stains of the night. Then, should the noon be dark with storms, your
+smile shall wear the serene promise of confidence and realization.
+
+This Supreme day can only be saved by spending it. Therefore, to its
+burden give your strength; to its confusion give your patience; to
+its sorrow give your comfort; to its trial give your nobleness; to its
+peril give your heroism; to its sacrifice give your love.
+
+During this Supreme day step softly among human hearts and leave so
+much of kindness along its path, that in golden days, gladness shall
+spring up bearing its tribute to other weary hearts in the cool
+eventide of the world's glad Easter.
+
+Set eternity in your heart, let Truth be your fadeless Day Star, then
+over your life of service, sacrifice, courage, cheerfulness, patience,
+kindness and love, time shall have no power.
+
+THE AUTHOR.
+
+
+
+
+Lesson First
+
+SUPREME CONTROL OF CONDITIONS
+
+
+Conditions are thought made. Change your thought and you will change
+your condition. To agonize and struggle in a bad condition is like
+struggling in quicksand, you get in deeper. Tell your bad conditions
+to another and you multiply them. If the heavens are falling and the
+earth is slipping under your feet, grab a big Turkish towel, walk
+briskly into the supreme sanctuary of the body,--the bath-room, take a
+thorough salt-water bath, with a few drops of perfume in it to awaken
+your self-respect. Then in a quiet, darkened room take a good sleep
+of ten to fifteen hours. Then rise and eat slowly, quietly and happily
+some nourishing food. God, Himself, could do nothing with Elijah,
+until He had given him a long sleep and a good meal. Then Elijah went
+forth and crowned a King, appointed a Prophet, established a Kingdom,
+and rode Home in chariots of fire. Once you make a start, the world
+is at your command. Let go of the past. Stop the foolish thinking
+that conditions hold you, it is you holding onto conditions. Quit
+your self-pity, blaming others, and saying you are the victim of
+circumstances. Stop whining, and begin singing, then will your feet
+be loosed from the stocks and the iron gates open outward before you.
+Look away from yourself.
+
+=IS YOUR WILL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL?= Awake it. See if you are
+sailing, or drifting. Set the compass of your Mind to new thoughts,
+fresh purposes, selfless desires, fill your sails with boundless hope,
+and let your daily voyage spell SERVICE in a big way. You are not a
+chip on the River of Life, you are a Supreme Master in a Universe of
+Facts. You think you are stuck in the harbor mud, but it is only that
+the tide is out. Command your Will to put up the sails, God will send
+you wind and tide to bear you out of the stale, sordid mental and
+bodily conditions you are living in, give you wider horizon, and a
+limitless ocean of experience. If anybody does not wish to sail with
+you, leave them on the shore. Let go of your past, break away from
+conditions that hold you in slavery. Seek new scenery, form new
+surroundings, begin a new Supreme Life.
+
+=KEEP YOUR BODY SUPREME:= Go back to Nature; be a fine animal.
+Get into the sunshine, the silent woods, the open fields. Magnetize
+your body by walking thru the dew barefooted, by sleeping on the
+grass, or half buried in the sand. Tuberculosis, rheumatism, insomnia
+are unknown to wild animals. Our bodies are sick and weak because we
+have denatured ourselves. Make friends of the wild animals, they will
+teach you how to keep well. They have not a single case of nervous
+prostration in all their vast forest home. Learn to relax. Drop your
+tension and you check confusion. Stop a few minutes sometime in the
+day and quiet your nerves, rest your muscles, calm your senses, sooth
+your thoughts, somewhere in the sunshine, or under the shade of an old
+apple-tree. Eat simply, slowly, nuts, dates, cereals, fruits. Drink
+abundantly of water between meals. Dress less somber, study your
+personal appearance, give it harmony. Keep your body well groomed. A
+bath and hair cut will change the out-look of life. Quit habits that
+weaken the body. Never talk about your bodily weakness, illness, or
+condition, nor listen to those of others. Criticise your body and it
+will fail you. Praise your body and it will serve you. Take air-baths,
+cold water plunges, or cold water sponges, every morning. Fix your
+mind upon having a sound and energized body and you will attract it.
+Exercise, walk, run, play, work, and learn to rest. Change your habits
+of living. Cut out the grouch. Stop nagging. You're sour because your
+pores are stopped up; get a buck-saw and take a sweat. You're morbidly
+blue because your solar plexus has gone to sleep; give it half an hour
+of internal vibration. Don't knock the weather, like it, get into it,
+let it put iron into your blood. Plunge into a storm, it will act as
+tonic on your spirit. A dip in the ocean will add magnetism to your
+body. Your body is a mighty fine engine of marvelous energy. Over-fed,
+under-fed, over-burdened, neglected, abused, weakened, shamefully
+talked about, yet year after year it goes on generating the divinest
+thing in the universe--Life. It transmutes profane elements into
+divine energy, washes a river of blood free of tons of poison,
+supports a brain that builds and rules limitless empires, sustains a
+vision that dissolves darkness into light, the unknown into the known,
+upholds the image of, and is "the Temple of the Living God." Your
+body is Supreme. Keep it divine. Strip your body bare and lie in the
+sunshine. Let it soak deeply into the tissue, it will magnetize your
+body, and renew it with youth. Take these sun-baths every sunny day
+possible by lying on a couch before a large window, or even better,
+out in the open air. If you want a magnetic body that is supple,
+elastic and youthful give it sun-baths and air-baths daily.
+
+=KEEP YOUR MIND SUPREME:= Your mind is limitless. You were born
+to lead, not to be always led. Think for yourself. Do your own
+planning. Make new plans. Train your mind to think alone. Misery is
+rust on a mind that has stopped working. Train your mind to delight
+people. Don't follow the crowd, but step softly among human hearts.
+Train your mind to think big. Expand your mind until it encircles the
+universe. Stop fussing over little things, over useless people, and
+fill your mind with new ideals and fresh purpose. Stop wailing over
+flowers that will never blossom on the north side of your house; go
+around to the south side and make a new garden. You have a temperament
+that is likely to be misunderstood; that's fine. So did Sarvonarola,
+Columbus, Galileo, Luther, Whitfield, Emerson, Lincoln and Christ.
+"Seven cities fought for Homer, dead, thru whose streets the living
+Homer begged his bread." The reputation of Christ was just the
+opposite of His character. These, stood thinking their brave thoughts
+on the horizon where Truth asks you to stand. You are better than
+you think; or as good. You are the sum total of your thinking. Build
+thought palaces, not mud huts. Create, originate, produce new ideas.
+Beware of dead monotony, it kills the brain. Unfetter your thoughts
+from notions, prejudices and limitations. Think well of yourself,
+think well of what you have, think well of what you do, think
+invincibly, think persistently, think with unflinching resolve.
+Concentration is getting at a thing, thinking it, planning it,
+preparing for it, working on it, DOING IT. Your conditions, mental,
+physical, financial, are thought made; fill your mind with different
+thoughts and you will have different conditions. Thought gathers
+around you the things you want, when you stop thinking of them they
+pass away. Thoughts are seeds, they produce after their kind. A little
+thought will shake off useless conditions and confused environment.
+Think some fun into your daily events. Don't be over-serious; it
+breeds disease germs, just as anger and hate thoughts induce cancer,
+tumor and liver troubles. Start a hurricane of jollity. Break loose
+in a thunderstorm of mirth, it will clear the atmosphere under a roof,
+just as a thunderstorm clears the air over the roof. On the other hand
+"there is a season to weep." Never smother your emotion, to choke it
+back stifles the heart. Lift the flood-gates and let your tears water
+the garden of your heart. "Be renewed in the spirit of your mind."
+That is the life. Be renewed every morning, for each day is a new
+life, a fresh world, the beginning of eternity. Think your thought
+created enemies into thought created friends. Think your thought
+created suspicions, into thought created confidences. Thought has
+drawn you into your conditions, it will pull you out. Your Soul, your
+Mind, your Body cannot become ugly, useless, imprisoned so long as you
+think supreme harmony, dominion, and love. Thought makes your body a
+hovel, your mind a madhouse, or thought makes your body a temple
+and your mind a shrine where angels commune with you. Environment,
+conditions, circumstances are not your masters, they are materials out
+of which thought makes the beautiful mosaics of character. Light the
+candle of a new thought and diligently sweep every corner of your
+mind, and you shall find the rare treasure--happiness. Put fun into
+your thinking. Do not take yourself so serious, put the red blood of
+mirth into your daily thinking.
+
+=KEEP YOUR WILL SUPREME:= Your will is divine energy, therefore
+it is a Supreme Power. Christ said: "Be it unto thee even as thou
+WILLED." It is inertia that suffers. Fate, Fear and Doubt are children
+of the imagination. The power of the will dissolves them into mist.
+Will power into your Being. Will power into your work. Will power into
+your ambitions. Will power into your expressions. Will power into your
+words. And you shall be "a fellow workman with God, a master builder
+that needeth not to be ashamed." Your Will gives infinite clearness,
+infinite strength, infinite ideals, infinite aspirations, for infinite
+realities. Your Will tells you that if there is anything to-day that
+seems to you too good to be true, believe it, endeavor toward it,
+reach forth to receive it, and tomorrow it will be true. Will is the
+engine in the depths of the ship that drives it thru the buffeting
+waves and storm to the distant harbor. Will puts your back-bone where
+your wish-bone is now. Will puts iron into your blood, tightens up
+your vertebrate and makes you "a self-starter." You may have lost your
+battle, your Will stands ready for another better campaign. You miss
+an opportunity, your Will stands ready to open the door to a hundred
+new ones. Delay is the mother of most failures. One thing worse than
+"a quitter," is the person afraid to begin. Your Will gives purpose
+and makes you stick to it. Get grit for a new siege. Will makes
+desire. Will makes brains. Will gives decision. To decide means "to
+cut"; cut deep into the world of possibilities, cut out of your prison
+of difficulties, cut thru your jungle of opposition to liberty, to
+health, to success, to supreme power. THINK, PLAN, DO IT. Will heals
+disease. Will drives poisons out of the system. Will makes the body
+immune. Will illumines the brain with brilliant perception. Will
+sweeps misfortunes aside and rebuilds a nobler success. Julius Caesar
+trained his supreme will until it became the dominion of the Roman
+Empire. The goddess Diana said of Hercules: "When I saw him, whether
+he sat or stood, I knew he was a god, so majestic is his will." Like
+the magnetic mountain in the "Arabian Nights," your Will can draw the
+nails from your enemies' ships, so they shall fall to pieces before
+they reach your shores. Will is a dynamic, cosmic energy from whence
+eternal things proceed, and immortal organisms are constructed. Will
+is the glory of the Divine universe, and you are a part of that Will.
+In your Will sleep the oracles of prophecy. You were made master over
+this world. In your Will is enthroned Sovereignty, Dominion, Kingship.
+With force of Will, Pygmalion carved his soul dream into the marble
+until its loveliness of form and grace became so real as to take on
+life and motion. With force of Will Dante created his Hell, and with
+force of Will Milton created his Paradise Regained. Put your Will into
+command. Start new. Realize that you are Supreme. Get a mind picture
+of what you want, what you want to be, what you want to do, THEN
+ACTUALIZE IT. Get above doubts. Do not wait to be well, to be happy,
+to be rich, all of these will be added unto you. Climb out of your
+prison of doubts, worries, fears. Begin where you are. Let your Will
+create, even as God creates. "He that believeth shall not perish,
+shall not abide in darkness, shall have the light of life, shall have
+everlasting life; all things are possible to him that believeth." Come
+down out of the gallery of supine hero worshippers, get into the arena
+and be the hero. Quit the drivel of matinee idol longing, and get
+onto the stage of life and get the bouquets for yourself. The world is
+waiting to ring up the curtain for your star part in life.
+
+=YOU CAN WORK MIRACLES=: A miracle is a wonder, a marvel, a
+supernatural occurrence, a result obtained by suspension of natural
+processes. You can do that any day. The miracle is that so few do it.
+
+You know Ibsen's play, "The Doll House." How the wife forged a note,
+raised the money to send her husband to regain his health. How he did
+regain it, returned to great prominence and wealth as a banker. Then
+the blackmailer threatened to reveal the crime. How the husband rushed
+to his wife in anger that she should have done such a thing, that it
+meant ruin to him in his high position. How the wife replied: "Why, I
+expected the miracle. That you would save me as I saved you. That you
+would say that you did it." If he only had, what a marvelous, what a
+wonderful, what a supernatural thing it would have been. Christ made
+whole and useful a withered hand. People say, "O, that I could do so
+wonderful a thing." Well, why don't you. See the withered hands around
+you. A young woman with a beautiful voice, but no means to cultivate
+it. You have a thousand or so in the bank? You can save that voice to
+a world that needs song. A young man with a fine mind, helpless to go
+thru college, you have means to give that mind to a world in power
+and usefulness. The natural thing is for you not to do it, the
+supernatural, the miracle, is that you are divine enough to do it. A
+man, a woman, is forsaken, friendless, cruelly judged by the world,
+their goodness blasted, their spirit crushed, their hearts bleeding,
+their lives made useless, withered. The natural thing is to avoid
+such, stand aloof, be quite scornfully indifferent. The miracle would
+happen if you went to them, lifted them up, restored them to society.
+I have said avoid useless people, I mean selfish, lazy, purposeless,
+aimless people. Sir Humphrey Davy worked a miracle when he took the
+boy Farrady out of a stable loft and gave him a chance to cultivate
+his genius. The Sistine Chapel is Angelo's miracle. When the band on
+the deck of the Titanic, under the pale light of the morning stars
+played "Nearer My God To Thee," to give hope and strength to men and
+women struggling to be saved, each player, as the voice of his melody
+was forever hushed behind the shining emerald gates, in the crystal
+tomb of the sea, went down crowned with the glory of a selfless
+miracle. The natural thing would have been for them to have
+frantically fought to save themselves. What superb opportunities to
+work miracles have passed you! What magnificent possibilities are
+still right before you! The cripple is always at your Gate
+Beautiful. Are you divine enough, wonderful enough, marvelous enough,
+supernatural enough to say: "Such as I HAVE, GIVE I unto thee"? Do it
+quickly. Do it, and you shall know daily the joy of hearing the Father
+say: "This is My Son in whom I am well pleased."
+
+If there is any one person on this earth to whom I take off my hat and
+wait until they safely pass, it is a school teacher. The most obscure
+teacher, back in the country hills, unknown, unthought of, unpraised,
+but with loving patience unfolding the secrets of knowledge to little
+frowzy headed boys and girls, can look into her mirror at evening and
+behold the face of an angel.
+
+Flowers cast their wealth upon the vacant air, and rich fathers oft
+cast their wealth upon the vacant heir.

+
+Christ stopped every funeral that came his way and sent the mourners
+home singing. Funeral sermons were too sad for Him to preach. Every
+sick room He entered became a health resort. He made grave-yards
+unpopular.

+
+Many a lonely bachelor looking back over the stretch of years, recalls
+the charming moonlight nights, when the cool summer air was perfumed
+with old fashioned flowers, and he looked into the loving eyes of his
+sweetheart; recalls how the crimson glow of youth flushed her velvet
+cheeks as he took her warm hand in his; recalls sadly that if he had
+only given that hand "a square deal," played it in the game of life,
+he would have had "a full house" now.

+Would you like to become young? Then tap new reservoirs of youthful
+thoughts, irrigate your alkali desert from the fountains of youth,
+become youthfully active in some new field of work. Vanderbilt added
+$100,000,000 to his fortune after he was eighty. Wordsworth earned the
+Laureateship at seventy-three. Theirs established the French Republic
+and became its first president at seventy-two. Verdi wrote "Falstaff"
+at eighty. Sir Walter Scott was $600,000 in debt when he was
+fifty-five, but thru his own efforts he paid all and made himself a
+lasting name.

+Book knowledge is not all. A wealthy, fond father, fearing his son
+would be contaminated by college life, had him educated at home. When
+he was twenty-one, he took him to ride thru the streets of the city.
+They passed a female seminary just as the doors opened and a crowd of
+young women came out. The dear boy grabbed his father's arm and cried,
+"What are those?" His father replied, "They are only goslins." Later
+in the day, the fond father said: "My son, you have obeyed me, have
+faithfully completed your education, now I am ready to spend $50,000
+to give you the highest ambition of your life." The boy looked up in
+glad wonder and said: "O, dad, give me a goslin."

+SUPREME CONTROL OF AGE=

+
+=YOUTH IS ETERNAL:= Nature never grows old. The flowers that
+bloomed in Eden are blooming to-day. Just as lovely, just as sweet,
+just as fresh and unchanged. The roses your life-mate brings home to
+you, have the same fragrance as the roses Adam brought to Eve, if he
+thought of it. The lovely stars that glitter in the azure fields above
+you tonight, have the same loveliness that gleamed in tremulous glory
+down upon the shepherds beyond Bethlehem. The radiant, life giving
+rays of the sun that ten thousand, thousand years ago warmed mother
+earth into vernal spring life, are the same life giving rays that
+shall bring again the spring-tide. Life never grows old, it only
+changes form. Your life is perpetual, then your youth may be
+perpetual. The human race is ever young, its units fall off. You
+should be younger at sixty, than at sixteen, because you have more
+of life. Growing old is a habit. People travel along the years up
+the hill of life, till they reach a certain point where they begin to
+THINK they must be growing old. Think its time to sag. Think its time
+to droop. Think its time to begin the process of decay. Then begin to
+talk about it. To write letters about it. To feel around for it. To
+look for it in others. Finally the habit they inherited from the race
+is on, and they are old. Life is endless, but you can think it short,
+"The power of an endless life," is within you, but by thinking you can
+turn it to the white ashes of old age. THINK YOUTH AND YOU STAY YOUNG.
+
+=YOUTH IS GROWTH:= Keep growing and you keep young. A new idea
+will make you feel younger. Develop it and it will develop you.
+Quicken your mental throb with new ideas. Begin now. Stop talking
+about being too old to grow. You pass by trees daily, a hundred, two
+hundred years old, still they are growing. The rose bush on a wall in
+China is supposed to be over a thousand years old, it bears more
+roses now, than when it was a mere slip of a vine of only one hundred.
+Gladstone at eighty-two was a growing statesman, and elected prime
+minister of England for the fourth time. Cato at eighty began to study
+Greek, and renewed the youth of his mind. Donald Davis is a growing
+hunter at one hundred and three. Goddard Diamond was a growing teacher
+of health, when he was one hundred and eleven. I know a bright, cheery
+lady who is just beginning a new study for decorating china, along
+with her household cares, and she is eighty-eight. Also another woman
+who has taken up a new process of enlarging drawings into water-colors
+and she is eighty-one years young. The fig tree withered when the
+Master of Life found it not growing, producing, creating. When you
+stop growing you will wither by the same law. Grow something, create
+something, produce something and the law of youth will pervade your
+Being.
+
+=YOUTH IS OBSERVING THE LAW:= Observing the law of health, the
+law of mind, the law of growth, the law of harmony, the law of
+production, the law of expression, the law of beauty, the law of
+selflessness. Keep your bodily forces up. Rebuild destroyed tissue.
+Keep the system free of waste. Stop poisoning your body with anger,
+hate, jealousy, fear. Keep your mind sweet. Think cheerfully. Avoid
+mental turmoil and excitement. Two great enemies of youth are worry
+and fear. The next is selfishness. Think every morning when you
+rise--"This new day is new life. It is fresh from the hand of God. It
+is mine to use. I will increase it unto the Perfect Day." Grow in each
+day, and make each day grow. Check discord. Quit useless discussion
+for it weakens and withers. Stop quarreling. Check complainings. Root
+criticism out of your life. You are bigger than these things. Get into
+harmony. You are of the world, upon worlds, universe unto universe.
+Study your words to make them have beauty, your walk to have grace,
+your personality to make it magnetic, your smile to give courage and
+comfort, your presence to have it healing, helping, inspiring. "If
+there be any virtue in whatsoever things are lovely, think on those
+things."
+
+=YOUTH IS LOVING WORK:= Like what you do. Do what makes you and
+others happy. Enter your daily work with joy. Adjust it until you do
+like it. Learn to love work for the happiness it brings. Put joy
+into your work in the morning and you will find it multiplied into
+happiness at night. Work is a law of youth. Inaction is decay. Inertia
+is death. Men and women do not usually lose their positions, they
+drive their positions away from them. The law of work will not stand
+personal abuse, any more than the law of beauty will endure brutality.
+Form an ideal of your work, make a mental picture of it, simplify it,
+orderly it, beautify it, then glorify it. Start the process in the
+slightest degree and you will get a result. Put a new shock absorber
+on your disposition. Bring your fine sensibilities to your work, be
+big morally, be deep mentally, and work with confident expectation.
+Put rules and system into your daily task. Exercise your self-control,
+your self-possession, self-mastery, march up to your task with
+efficiency backed up by a dominant will. Realize your Supreme
+Personality in your work. Put the absolute "I AM," into your purpose
+of toil. Put dominating decision "I HAVE DECIDED," into your efforts.
+Put invincible determination, "I WILL," into your complex problem. Put
+irresistible confidence, "I SHALL ACHIEVE," into your ardent desires.
+You will then love work. When you come to love work you will not
+exhaust yourself in it, you will not tire your brain and body with its
+friction, because you will not work with selfish purposes, but work to
+enrich the world. "Love is the fulfilling of the law."
+
+=YOUTH IS SUPREME CHEERFULNESS:= To be funless is to be lifeless.
+Good cheer is the tonic of youth. If you are so sad you cannot laugh
+at something, then laugh at nothing. "Laugh and the world"--you know
+it. An ounce of smiles will give you more real life than seven tons
+of solemncholy. Cheerfulness and prosperity go hand in hand. Bathe in
+mirth. Frolic in some sunshine daily, even if you live in Pittsburgh
+and have to make your own sunshine. Make fun, don't always buy it.
+You can cure disease and kill the Devil with laughter. Cultivate an
+infectious laugh. Mirth makes work easy. Read humor and learn to tell
+it. Practice telling a good, funny story. Be a quick wit. There is a
+bright side to everything in this world, even to a dark-lantern. The
+end of the film is sure to be jolly. Good cheer attracts good luck.
+Cheer up. If you haven't a smile get one of somebody and wear it as
+your own. "Let thine heart cheer thee." Give it out-let. Go to sleep
+with a smile on your face and you will awaken with a joy in your
+heart. Let your humor be rich humor. Laughter is the cipher-key to a
+man. It is one of the most delightful sounds of earth. Most utterly
+lost is the day you laugh not. Mirth clears the mirrors of the mind.
+A person who does not laugh is not healthy. "A merry heart doeth good,
+like a medicine." To forget your sorrow begin to cultivate joy. Keep
+away from sad people, or you will be sad. Stop rehearsing your grief,
+you only enlarge it. If you suffer grief, find someone in trouble and
+cheer them, encourage them, help them, and you will deliver yourself.
+You will comfort yourself when you comfort another. You cannot lose a
+loved one, tho absent from the earth plane they are nearer than ever.
+Life and love never change. Death is an unreality thought made. Our
+friends take on a new embodiment that is glorified in life and spirit.
+When you believe you were "created in His image," and "are a partaker
+of the divine nature," it is easier to believe, "you shall arise in
+His likeness." Some day we shall all believe we have not disfigured,
+morally broken natures, but Divine Natures, supreme in limitless
+power. Traditions, teachings, education, environment of generations of
+thinking have disfigured, morally broken, sin burdened humanity. All
+are thought created conditions. Thought made limitations. Thought
+made original sins. System cultivated human wrongs. Institutionalized
+teachings of error. But you should know the universe is one undivided
+Soul. You are a yoke-fellow with God. You are a part of One Complete
+Life. You are a lobe of the Infinite Brain. You are a Supreme
+Personality of Absolute Personality. Nothing that has life is
+God-damned.
+
+Where love is only a dream, the marriage is an alarm clock.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+If you cannot endure your mother-in-law, you can begin your plans at
+once to live alone, when your children are married.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+A quarrel between two people to settle things, is a good deal like a
+dog fight in a flower bed, the only things that get settled are the
+flowers.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+Nearly always when you hear the lusty wail of a boy with energy plus
+filling the air, you can look in at the window and find a woman's hand
+at the seat of his trouble.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+You can over-work your notion of neatness. A woman in Vermont crippled
+her usefulness for life, by mopping a hole thru her kitchen floor and
+falling into the cellar.

+=Lesson Third
+
+A SUPREME DAILY-LIFE METHOD
+
+
+A CENTRAL PLAN:= Do your mental work in the morning, your manual
+work in the afternoon. Do not dictate letters in the afternoon; from
+ten to twelve in the morning is best. The brain is usually at low ebb
+at three o'clock in the afternoon. Do not have your desk so that you
+have to look side-wise at persons approaching you. It blunts your
+personality. By no means have people enter behind you, it is the most
+negative psychic influence possible. Let your position in your office
+be such that when anyone approaches your eyes will fall upon them as
+near a straight level as possible. Plan your workroom for efficiency.
+No matter how small, how large, or if it be but a bench. Put your
+character stamp on the plan of the work you do. Go to that work as
+a King goes to his throne. Centralize your work. Plan it. Work your
+plan.
+
+=HAVE A SYSTEM OF ORDER=: Set your mind in order first. If you
+are living as I have taught in the lessons that have gone before,
+then your mind will assume a supreme command of order almost at once.
+Classify what you do. Keep matters separate. Do the big things first.
+As you classify, drop the non-essentials. Weed out the useless. Never
+spend a minute of your morning hours winding up a string or folding a
+piece of wrapping paper. Do that when your brain tide has ebbed out
+in the afternoon, or not at all. Don't hunt for a pin, or sharpen a
+pencil, or manicure your nails after you reach your work of the
+day. Classify your movements, eliminate the useless. Energize your
+movements. Move with enthusiasm. Put elastic cheer into your step.
+Wear rubber heels of quiet manners. Simplify your work. Keep it
+straight, after a little it will keep you straight. Don't fall over
+your work, nor step on it, or sit on it. Simplify by stopping the
+waste of words, waste of material, waste of time. Jollify your work.
+Put fun into each day's round of toil. Be original in plans and ideas.
+
+=CULTIVATE YOUR EFFICIENCY=: To all the above add mental energy.
+Develop insight, grow new business brain cells. Do not overload your
+stomach with food, nor your body with clothing. Study directness.
+Master application. At Niagara Falls I saw two giant dynamos
+generating twenty-five thousand horse power, their efficiency was kept
+in perfect balance by a little automatic nickle gate. Your efficiency
+is kept in balance by little, invisible and automatic thought neurons.
+A clear brain is the test of efficiency. Plans, orders, system,
+application, give efficiency. Efficiency is positive thinking.
+Freedom-thinking, above fear-thinking. Get out and keep out of
+negative thinking. Just as soon as you drop negative thinking your
+mind will begin to rise to a new brilliance of expression. One big
+element in efficiency is silence. It is the strongest thing to be
+silent. Noise is emptiness, weakness, inefficiency. Silence is the law
+of greatness; noise the breaking of the law.
+
+=DEVELOP YOUR POWER TO REST:= That person is wise who knows how
+to rest. It is a powerful thing to rest successfully. Over-fed
+persons, or animals, do not rest, they are stupefied. Rest is filling
+your capacities with energy. "Sleep knits up the ravelled sleeve of
+care," or it should. Rest is relaxing the nerves and muscles. Rest is
+reconstructing broken down cellular tissues. Rest is restringing the
+harp of the senses, retuning the rhythmic harmonies of the spirit.
+Rest lets down the tension. When you sit down, let what you sit on
+hold you. When you lie down, do not try to hold yourself on the bed.
+Rest is the opposite of labor. Rest is recreation. Rest with sleep
+is a divine restorative. When you cannot rest, or sleep, you are
+expending energy without production. Try this little code for rest
+and sleep: "My mind is empty, my soul is at rest." Repeat it with your
+eyes closed and your body relaxed. Say it just as you would imagine
+the swing of the pendulum of an old fashion hall clock. I never knew
+it to fail of inducing sleep. Never rest or sleep with light falling
+on your eyes. Shut out the world and noise.
+
+=GROW THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT:= Love, Joy, Peace, Gentleness,
+Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance, against such there is no law.
+Do not sit down and wish for them, nor wait for someone to bring them
+to you, even God will not bring them to you. Grow them. Cultivate
+them. Produce them. No power on this earth can defeat you, make you
+fail, or over-throw you if you fill your Spirit with them. As you
+work, use them. Take them with you to the store, the factory, the
+shop, the mill, to your bench. Take them with you to the office, the
+counting-room, the court-room, and to your throne-room. Take them
+with you to the battle field, to the halls of justice, to the senate
+chamber, to the presidential chair. Take them with you thru the
+streets, along the highways, and over the unbeaten paths of your life.
+Take them with you down the rivers, and out into the storm driven sea.
+Chain them to the wheel of your ship, sail on thru the starless night
+alone. Trust them, for they are the initiative of the Supreme in you.
+
+=TRAIN YOUR VOICE:= Take your snarling, growling, snapping,
+whining voice away into the jungle and leave it to the wild beasts.
+Take your sobbing, sniveling, trembling, dolorous, sanctimonious voice
+down into some dismal swamp and bury it. Train your voice as you
+would tune a harp. Your voice is an index of character. Keep it on
+the level. Let it "speak as one having authority." Charm it with
+modulation. Make it ripple with music. Allow no thrust of anger
+to ruffle it. Intensify it with determination. Strengthen it with
+courage. Give it dominion and power. When other voices are hot and
+spuming around you, keep your voice cool. Never allow your voice to
+become dull, dubious, uncertain, shrinking, or hollow. Voice tones
+that are round, rhythmic, full measured. Have a serene and reposeful
+voice. Look at what you speak. Reflect your soul in your voice. Let
+the manner of your voice be calm, smooth, collected, but energized
+with positive forces. Have a cheerful voice, a voice that makes one
+think of sunshine and smiles.
+
+=HOW TO LOVE RELATIVES:= To love your relatives be away from home
+all you can. To have them love you keep about three hundred miles
+between you and them. Thousands of homes and lives are wrecked by two
+families of the same family trying to live under the same roof. Noah
+would have foundered with the Ark ten days after the flood started if
+he had taken more than two out of any one family with him. Cain would
+never have killed Abel if Adam hadn't made the fool blunder of trying
+to keep his two sons everlastingly with him. Of course there was some
+excuse in the fact that in those days New York and Paris were not
+brilliantly attractive cities. If there is any one thing outside a
+church row, that tickles the devil into a frenzy of laughter it is
+when a young married couple go home to live with the family. There is
+about as much real life joy and harmony in it as there would be in a
+jungle picnic of monkeys and parrots. There is just one place where
+large families can dwell together peaceably--the grave-yard. It
+is contrary to natural law that families of grown ups, should live
+together. When a cub bear is old enough, big enough to hunt for food,
+and comes back after he once goes out, his mother gives him a mauling
+that makes him feel he would rather starve than come back again. Does
+she love him? Of course she loves him to the limit of her instinct,
+loves him to the point of pride that she wants him to be a brave,
+daring, self-reliant master of the forest. When the whelps of a lion
+get to be more than playful kittens, the mother leads them into the
+jungle, slips away, leaving them to hunt. The young lions may return
+to the old home, but their father and mother have moved away to a
+distant den. To evolve their natures, to become supreme denizens of
+the forest they must rely upon their own prowess. Take the eagle, when
+the mother eagle by instinct knows the wings of her babies have become
+strong enough to support their bodies, she pushes them out of the
+eyrie. They fly, or will be dashed to death on the rocks. They always
+fly. But you say human beings are not bears, lions, or eagles. Well,
+humans could well afford to attend the Nature College of the wild
+animals of the woods, to learn the ethics of health, happiness and the
+development of the individual.
+
+Treat your relatives royally, then let them alone. Keep out of their
+affairs, try to keep them out of your affairs. Be kind, generous,
+sympathetic. But keep out of the danger zone. Insist upon living by
+yourself, living your own life, thinking your own thoughts, playing
+your part in life's drama. Parents wish they could hold their
+children, the way to hold them is to let go of them. If you love
+them you will let go. Love is unselfish. God sent His only Son on the
+loneliest journey ever taken, and He came back crowned with glory.
+God can live with lots of people you and I can't. Abraham amounted
+to something, God said to him: "Get thee out." "And he went out, not
+knowing whither." He staid until he became the head of a people as
+numberless and brilliant as the stars of the heaven. But Isaac hung
+around home, lived on his father's greatness, and the only real thing
+he did that was worth while was to re-dig some wells his father had
+dug before him. The first time he saw his sweetheart Rebecca, whom
+another man had to go and get for him, he lifted up his voice and
+cried like a boob. He had become soft on the mutton and grape juice
+of his father. Tender little doves flit around the home cote, but the
+eagle sweeps from sun to sun. Anyhow, in these modern days children
+are very largely bringing up their parents.
+

+
+There is a world of sense in the saying; "Sell your hammer and buy a
+horn."
+

+
+There is one place we can bear a boil, and smile--on the other
+fellow's neck.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+Many people possess more than a thousand acres of possibilities, and
+have about half an acre under cultivation.

+
+The best way to exterminate mosquitoes would be to start a plan to
+cultivate them as a money making commodity.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+Stop nagging, twitting, insinuating, suspecting those whose love you
+wish to hold. You assassinate love when you ridicule it.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+Temper is the yeast of personality. No man or woman ever rises in
+the world without it. A razor, knife, ax, or writer, actor, minister,
+without it, isn't worth a damn in any market. Never lose your temper,
+lose all things, but keep your temper.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+When I see people who are great stickers as to form, or attitude, in
+prayer, they remind me of my old neighbor, Saxby, who fell into Bill
+Smith's well. He said: "The prayingest prayer I ever said, was in that
+well standing on my head."
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+Do you know the meanest thing about the worst boy on your street? I
+will tell you. It is the fact that you do not like him, and he knows
+it. God never made a mean boy. Parents have made some, towns have made
+some, and cities have made a host.
+
+
+
+
+=Lesson Fourth
+
+THE SUPREME LAW OF SUCCESS
+
+
+SELLING POWER=: Study out plans. Approach your customer or the
+public, with a definite plan. Here is one of simple power: Attract
+the attention, secure the interest, carry the conviction, demand the
+decision, then in any line of business you will have your order book
+full. Selling power is confidence backed up by the will. Success is
+ambition and desire driven by the will. Do you desire success? How
+much? When you desire it as a starving man has hunger for food, you
+will win. Want to attain your ambition? How much? When your ambition
+becomes a thirst, a burning consuming thirst, such as the lost
+traveler has in the blistering sands of the desert, then you will
+achieve. What you want is not opportunity, the world is flooded with
+golden opportunities. What you want is not a fair chance, chances
+gleam in your future sky fairer than the endless myriads of stars that
+encrust with glittering splendor the evening heavens. What you do
+want is concentration, confidence, self-reliance, desire, ambition,
+PERSONAL POWER.
+
+=POWER OF ATTRACTION=: Make your purpose brilliant. Keep it
+clear. Seek to energize it with positives. Do not lumber up your plan.
+Centralize it. Modify it. Create it as a necessity. Form into it the
+indispensable. Then embody yourself into it. See that nothing about
+you defeats, or neutralizes attraction. Have a burning interest in
+your proposition. Look for fulfillment. Anticipate success. Make the
+world feel that you know you are right. Stop asking folks if they
+think you will succeed. Of course they do not, because they have not.
+Hold your mind relaxed in Silence. Make your desire active. Set your
+wishes in motion. Confidence attracts confidence. Positives attract
+positives. Bring out your latent forces, they only need arousing.
+THINK AND ACT.
+
+=YOUR MENTAL ATTITUDE:= Have faith in yourself. Arouse faith in
+others. Think in the affirmative. Assert your hope and confidence.
+Root out every doubt. Help someone out of their slough of doubt
+and despondency. Believe in the world, in life, in growth, in
+possibilities. Let your faith be as big and bright as the sun. "Cast
+not away your confidence which hath great recompense of reward."
+"Dwell in confidence." "Hold fast your confidence and hope unto the
+end." Keep your mental attitude independent. Keep it brave. Think of
+money as a means, not as an end. Seek wealth for the power of service
+it gives. Have a generous mental attitude. Help others succeed. Banish
+fear, worry, indecision, timidity, irresolution, anxiety from your
+mental attitude, they paralyze effort. Trust yourself. Trust others.
+Have a mental attitude that is supreme, divine, and absolute. Spend
+your last dollar like a king. Gird the loins of your mind with "I
+WILL." "I CAN." All the mountains of difficulty will melt before your
+presence.
+
+=AMBITION AND DESIRE:= Ambition is idealism. Desire is faith. You
+cannot have either without the possibility of their fulfillment.
+Desires come from Supreme Intelligence in the Universe, and they are
+divine. Therefore, they are real, possible of positive realization.
+Keep them sacred. Let them become the ideals of your life. Make them
+glow with the fires of your energies. They spell success and victory.
+They will crown your life, if you will breathe your life into
+them. Let your ambition make you irrepressible. Avoid reactionary
+influences. Keep away from dull, stupid, inactive people.
+
+=CREATIVE FORCE AND HARMONY:= Be original. Think original
+thoughts, put them into form. Invent and produce. Create ideas. Feel
+complete in yourself. Do not stand in wonder at what others have done,
+right at your feet lies a secret that will enrich the world and make
+you famous. A thinker discovered a substitute for the artist camel's
+hair brush by taking the hair from inside a cow's ear. If you work
+in an office think up some out-door vocation. Grow something, raise
+something, get interested in animals. Study the market near you,
+create, produce, or raise something to sell. If not for money, for
+the forces of life the work gives. It will keep you from habits,
+from speculating, from gambling, from politics and other evils. Build
+something, raise chickens, pets, sheep, cattle, or grow flowers,
+fruits, berries. WORK WITH NATURE. This is the very harmony of
+success. In it you will be in touch with Universal Intelligence, will
+get the inflow of Infinite Life, and thru it will keep growing.
+
+=YOUR LATENT POWERS=: Take account of your personal abilities.
+Your gifts, talents, forces, equipment. What per cent are you using?
+Most people are not using over 20 per cent of their capital of
+personal power. The 80 per cent lies dormant. Why have only 20 per
+cent of your share of Life, Success, Harmony and Happiness, when you
+should have 100 per cent. There are big prizes awaiting your latent
+powers. At every turn of the way, you can read the sign: "Wanted. Men
+with Power." There is an unexplored continent in your Being. Go into
+it, bring out its riches, for yourself and for the world.
+
+=PERSISTENCE AND PLANNING=: A plan is a mighty source of power.
+Do not work and live "hit-or-miss" in your activities day by day. Have
+a plan. Sit in Silence a few moments each morning and create a plan.
+You can double your efficiency. Think out a plan, open a way. Get an
+effectual insight. Keep your plan under your cap, and work it out.
+Persist in your plan. Stick to it. Never grow sour or negative in your
+manner. Keep sweet. If your plan is blocked, dig in another direction.
+Build a new foundation. Shake off doubts and start new. Unless your
+success makes you happy it is not success. Deep at the heart of the
+Universe lies happiness. Live closely to that heart, in persistent
+power of service.
+
+=IMPERSONATE YOUR DESIRES:= Impersonate greatness and you will
+become great. Impersonate loveliness and you will become lovely. Why
+do actors become matinee idols? They could readily marry a hundred
+times a month. It is quite impossible for an actor to remain
+unmarried. What is the secret? Can a person get it? Certainly; here
+it is. Actors impersonate heroes, villains, model husbands, daring
+lovers, in a real way. They think, plan, and train themselves to
+impersonate the character, they make it so real that people think it
+must be a part of their nature. You can do it, young man, bachelor,
+widower. If you are only half a man, half a lover, impersonate a whole
+one. If you are so bashful that it makes you blush to walk with your
+best girl, in the garden where the flowers are in bed, impersonate a
+dashing, dare-devil, scamp of fascination, and your sweetheart will
+faint from adorable bliss and fall into your arms. If you are a coward
+impersonate a hero, until you are one. Do not stand on one foot, or
+bite your fingernails, or tear the rim off your hat, trying to tell a
+beautiful, healthy twentieth century young woman you love her. You'll
+be all to the mustard. Do something brave. Go hire a kid that is a
+good swimmer, to fall into the lake as you and your sweetheart are
+walking past, then throw back your shoulders and tear off your coat
+and leap in, the kid will get you to shore, but you'll be a hero in
+her eyes. Impersonate the hero, and you will win the heroine.
+
+Young woman, if you would marry a hero, impersonate beauty. Maiden
+lady of quite impossible age, if you would marry the best man in the
+world, impersonate youth and beauty. Dear languishing widow, if you
+would marry a real man, impersonate youth, beauty and wealth. You will
+win. The odds are much against you here in the East, where in every
+state there are thousands and thousands of more women than there are
+men, but you will win. Men follow actresses around the world because
+they impersonate love, passion, beauty, virtue and nobleness. The men
+really think actresses must possess what they portray. You see, it is
+all a matter of thinking. It does not matter how many times a man has
+lost on the races, if he is a good sport he will bet on the next
+horse that looks good to him. Women need to impersonate looking good,
+better, best. Not on occasions only, but all the time. Men like women
+who are good pals. So ladies impersonate sympathy, kindness, patience,
+good fellowship, enthusiasm, in the things that interest men. If you
+belong to the Citrus family, impersonate the Peach. If you belong to
+the Nettle family, impersonate the Violet. You may be so homely that
+your face pains you, but think of the impersonations of beauty you
+can buy at the drug store. Impersonate silence. A young lady in
+Philadelphia lost her voice and she had nineteen proposals that year.
+Impersonate form. You may be as angular as the streets in Boston, yet
+almost any department store will shape you up. You may be so fat that
+you haven't seen your feet in years, still you can impersonate so much
+good nature that men will be attracted to you as flowers to the sun.

+=Lesson Fifth
+
+SUPREME BODY BUILDING METHOD
+
+
+HEALTH, HARMONY, POWER, SERVICE:= That is what a supreme body
+gives. Do not always be taking care of your health, take care of your
+body and you will generate health. Thought animates the body with
+health. This is an age of electrification. We are fed, lighted,
+heated, and transported by electricity. In the lightning pace we are
+going, the body is neglected. Give three minutes morning and night
+to the exercises below and you will straighten, develop, heal, and
+energize your body. Enter upon these exercises as you would an arena
+of conquest where you expected to win the great prize of life.
+
+=THE BREATH IS LIFE:= Take a deep, full, abdominal breath with
+each body building exercise, inhale through the nose and expel
+forcefully through the mouth. NEVER HOLD YOUR BREATH.
+
+=FIRST EXERCISE:= Stand erect, drop hands to the side, clinch
+your fists tightly, then with muscular tension raise fists and arms
+slowly high above the head, taking a deep, full, abdominal breath
+as you raise them, relax and expel the breath forcefully through the
+mouth. Repeat 5 times.
+
+=SECOND EXERCISE:= Place the left hand flat in the right, clasp
+them, resisting with the left, lift with the right, putting full
+strength into the effort, until the hands are lifted above the head,
+taking deep breath as in the first exercise. Relax, expel breath.
+Then repeat with the right hand resisting the left. Repeat exercise 5
+times.
+
+=THIRD EXERCISE:= Grasp the hands firmly above the head, letting
+them be at rest on top of the head. Then pull hard from right to left
+slowly, taking the deep, full abdominal breath with each movement,
+relaxing and expelling as above. This and the above exercise are
+wonderful in their effect in developing the lungs and rounding out the
+development of the shoulders and chest. Repeat 5 times.
+
+=FOURTH EXERCISE:= Grasp hands in front, level with chest, pull
+from right to left hard, taking deep, full abdominal breath with each
+movement. Relax and expel breath same as above.
+
+=FIFTH EXERCISE:= Grasp the hands behind the back, taking deep,
+full abdominal breath, lift the hands as far up on the back as
+possible. Relax, expel breath. Always draw in the breath as you
+move through the exercise, having a full breath when the movement is
+completed, then expel.
+
+=SIXTH EXERCISE:= Place right hand over right hip, clench the
+left fist, raise it slowly, drawing the deep breath, and bending the
+body to the right as far as possible. Relax, expel breath. Now repeat
+with the left hand placed over the left hip. Repeat 5 times.
+
+=SEVENTH EXERCISE:= Grasp hands in front of breast, pulling hard,
+swing the body as far right and left as possible without moving the
+feet, take deep breath with each movement. Repeat 5 times.
+
+=EIGHTH EXERCISE:= Raise hands above the head, take a deep breath
+and bend the body, try to touch floor with finger, not bending the
+knees. Repeat 5 times.
+
+You can add other exercises to these, only be sure they have the deep
+breathing. These will build a vigorous, developed, supple body. Will
+ward off every form of asthma, catarrh, bronchial or lung trouble.
+Stop indigestion, increase circulation, renew and make blood.
+
+Do all exercises in well ventilated room, have clothing loose. The
+best time is on rising and on retiring. If they make you ache at first
+it is sure evidence of their doing you good. You will soon be too
+strong to have aches and pains.
+
+Do not exhaust yourself in the exercises, just take them till the body
+glows and the muscles are well exercised.
+
+Faithfully persist in these exercises and breathings.

+abundantly."
+
+
+
+
+=Lesson Sixth
+
+SUPREME INTERNAL VIBRATIONS
+
+
+GOOD DIGESTION RULES THE WORLD=: Digestion is a matter of
+vibration. Indigestion is on the increase because people are more and
+more sedentary in their habits. Walking is life's finest exercise, but
+people walk less now than ever. The human body's great vibrator is
+the diaphragm. Arouse it and you will arouse action in your digestive
+tract, your liver, and kidneys. Continue vibration from one minute to
+as long as you please. If these vibrations are continued a few minutes
+each day, no cancer or tumor would ever develop, and the thousand
+different stomach ills would disappear. The DIAPHRAGM is a great
+muscle area stretched out for the stomach, intestines and vital organs
+to exercise on, and to give them freedom.
+
+=VIBRATIONS FOR INTESTINES:= Begin slowly, take a deep breath,
+then vibrate your abdomen in and out by using the inner muscles of
+the diaphragm. Vibrate slowly then more rapidly. Force the vibrations
+downward upon the intestines. You may feel a little pain at first,
+which shows the weakness of the intestinal muscles, that passes away.
+The DIAPHRAGM is the great digestive engine of the body, work it all
+you can.
+
+=VIBRATIONS FOR STOMACH and SOLAR PLEXUS:= Raise the vibrations
+upward, just as before you forced them downward. Repeat the series
+with full breath several times. Also give the vibrations with a
+little twist of the body, so as to get the circular movement over the
+stomach. VIBRATE THE SOLAR PLEXUS with short, sharp vibrations far up
+into the chest, this will cover the muscles of the lungs and of the
+heart. This is a very essential work as it gives new strength to those
+muscles of the heart and lungs to ward off acute attacks of any kind.
+
+=VIBRATION FOR TORPID LIVER:= Direct the vibrations to the right
+side. Do them strongly so as to arouse the liver thoroughly. This is
+a very important exercise as it bears directly on RHEUMATISM, it
+releases the acids, starts secretions flowing. Rheumatism calls for
+dry climates, non-acid diet. Avoid sweets and starch, take salt water
+baths, drink lithia water. Walk all you can. Change your work. BE SURE
+TO DRINK A CUP OF HOT WATER EACH MORNING on rising. Put a little salt
+in to help cleanse the stomach of septic acids. Drink two cups, all
+the better.
+
+=CONSTIPATION:= The best vibration and advice is that above for
+this trouble. Be regular about going to the toilet each morning. Eat
+vegetable diet, rye bread, or graham. Eat little meat, chew your food
+to a liquid mastication. Keep up the intestinal vibrations, in 20 days
+your constipation will be a trouble of the past.
+
+=HEADACHES AND BILIOUSNESS:= These are the results of
+AUTO-INTOXICATION, the worry, hurry, eating fast, eating too much,
+over exerting, anxiety, all of these poison the process of digestion
+and assimilation. Take a dose of epsom salts, castor oil, or cascara
+sagrada, then regulate your diet. REST IN BED FOR A DAY. This done at
+once will save many a siege of sickness.
+
+=OBESITY:= Keep up the internal vibrations all over the body.
+Keep up the exercises of Lesson Seventh. REDUCING IS A MORAL RESOLVE
+TO EAT LESS. If you are a coward you cannot reduce, if your appetite,
+that is unreal, unnatural and dangerous, makes you its slave so that
+you eat 5,000 units of food when 3,000 is a great sufficiency, then
+you lack MORAL WILL FORCE TO REDUCE. Drink the hot water as above, or
+put into it a little lemon juice. When you feel hunger come on drink
+a cup of the lemon hot water, just a few drops of the lemon juice. Get
+so you can go without your noon lunch except one-half slice of bread
+and a cup of hot water one-quarter milk. KEEP UP WALKING. KEEP UP THE
+BODY BUILDING EXERCISES. RUB AND MASSAGE THE FACE AND NECK. Do not
+eat fat, pastry, confection, or starchy foods. Eat slowly, Fletcherize
+each mouthful, it will reduce you, give you a new taste of flavors not
+known to the glutton. Abhor being fat, unshapely, and be unhappy over
+it, but never tell others how you feel. Keep your deficiencies to
+yourself, master them, be free of them, then living will become a
+joy, your body a daily delight, and you shall possess a Supreme
+Personality.
+
+=HAVE A NEW BODY:= There is no condition physical or mental that
+cannot be changed, even deformities, and deficiencies can be improved.
+SET YOUR MIND ON WHAT YOU WANT TO BE, THEN WORK FOR IT. Set a mark at
+what you wish to weigh and then bravely, happily, with joyous courage
+seek to attain it. YOU WILL. COMMAND YOUR BODY. KEEP MOVING TOWARD
+YOUR IDEAL.
+
+Health is a result of Harmony. By the force of the WILL acting in
+obedience to the mind, is the body made perfect.

+=Lesson Seventh=
+
+=SUPREME MENTAL HEALING=
+
+
+=THE SUPREME MIND:= The previous lessons give you the key to
+Supreme Mental Healing. Your mind is limitless. Begin where you may,
+conditions do not count. No matter how weak, how isolated, how deep
+in the mire of trouble, you can rise, you can be free, you can be
+renewed. You may have a whole library of all sorts of books and
+treatises on healing. You may have a library of biology and pathology,
+but you can never read yourself well. What you need is what I have
+sought to give you, POSITIVE WORKING PLANS. It takes some WORK to
+build a hut, more to build a comfortable home, still more to build
+a palace of luxury. How much MIND AND WILL WORK are you willing to
+devote to build your body into a Temple of the living God?
+
+=MENTAL CONFUSION:= Make an easy PLAN for each day. Relax your
+mind tension, let down your body tension, eat less, drink water, walk
+in the open air. Change your thought to new plans, new work. LET GO OF
+THE PAST. Have nothing to do with the future. Sweep aside the odds and
+ends that litter your mind. Let go by denying them any place in your
+mind. TALK WITH STRONG PEOPLE. Leave weak, useless people alone. Take
+a salt bath, by going into the ocean, or in your own tub, using a
+full pint of common salt. Do not tell your troubles to another, HELP
+another in trouble to get out, and you will get out yourself. MAKE NEW
+PLANS.
+
+=WORRY AND FEAR:= Ask yourself this question: "How many things I
+have worried about and feared ever happened to me?" You will see how
+few, and only those you attracted. Worry is lost energy. It is like
+a rocking chair, keeps going but never gets anywhere. It is like a
+mill-owner starting all the machinery of his mill, then going away,
+leaving it running to injury and destruction. It is a miserable habit.
+It makes you and others near you unhappy. It destroys your usefulness,
+injures your health, kills joy. QUIT THE HABIT. How? By forming new
+PLANS of thought, work, expression, activity, and living only one day
+at a time. Stop resisting, struggling, let go of selfish purpose,
+and start loving. Make a change. Start new. Grow something, make
+something, laugh when you think you are going to cry.
+
+=DEPRESSIVE MOODS:= Dress in light colors, Pink, Lavender, Green,
+Red, get away from browns, blacks, and dead colors. Try blue if you
+are nervous. Eat very lightly, walk till tired, take the salt water
+bath, not hot but cool. Stop self-pity, change your surroundings, even
+if all you can do is to turn your bed around. Seek new people. MAKE
+NEW PLANS DAILY.
+
+=NERVOUS TROUBLES:= Build your body with my Lesson Fifth. Take
+plenty of nourishment, sleep in the middle of the day, simplify your
+daily living, keep away from sick and unhappy people, stop talking
+about your own trials. LET GO. Drop fretting over trifles, check
+selfish desires, go afield with the sheep and cattle, do not let
+your house-work make you a slave. PLAN some new outlet, do something
+different. Banish anger, forget self, help some lame dog across the
+street, borrow a poor child and go out to the zoo, lift up someone who
+is down, do strong things, avoid excitement, keep out of the crowd,
+check strife and antagonism, GET THE HAPPY HABIT. Think one thing at a
+time, let that be a PLEASANT THING.
+
+=INSOMNIA:= Retire loving the world, letting go of self. Drink a
+cup of hot water, quarter milk, with a bit of salt. Relax mind and
+body, say the word, SLEEP just with the rhythmic swing of a clock
+pendulum slowly. YOU WILL SLEEP.
+
+=BE RID OF HABITS:= Quit making excuses for the habit, stop lying
+about its being hereditary. RESOLVE, AND YOU ARE FREE. Keep away from
+the cause of your habit. Shame yourself when you commit it. Praise
+yourself when you master it once. Destroy the desire of your habit, by
+putting a good desire in its place. Stop buying tobacco, or drink, and
+buy flowers, music, or a farm. ROUSE YOUR WILL. SEVERELY CALL YOURSELF
+TO ACCOUNT WHEN YOU SLIP. Stop talking about how you suffer, or how
+hard it is, talk about the victory. When you are tempted, SIT IN
+SILENCE TEN MINUTES AND SAY, "I AM SUPREME." You will win over any
+habit that you may have. Change your position. Change your work.
+Change your associations. Drinking and smoking are the major habits
+that enslave men. The moment you become disgusted with a habit it
+loses power over you. When you get moral courage enough to hate it,
+it will flee from you. You may conquer in five days, or it may be five
+weeks. Just set aside a vacation of that time, and fight a battle
+for Supreme manhood. Have confidence in yourself. Arouse your will to
+splendid self-mastery. Have a motive for being rid of your habit. Have
+enthusiasm. Be determined not to travel thru life loaded with a kit
+of bad smelling smoking tools. Smoking does not stimulate, nor aid
+digestion, it does not clear the brain, nor sooth the nerves. It is
+quite the opposite. The same is true of the liquor habit. A habit is
+a deficiency, it is a vicious enemy that mars and defeats Supreme
+Personality.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+We become like the things we think.
+

+Retire from business every night, start in business anew every
+morning.

+It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out, it is the grain of

+
+=Lesson Eighth=
+
+=SUPREME POWER OF MAGNETISM=
+
+
+=OUR MAGNETIC MONOCHROME:= You can prepare your own Magnetic
+Monochrome by careful study of the colors which most influence you.
+These will vary with the physical temperament of different people. The
+primary healing colors are: Crimson, Scarlet, Dark Blue, Dark Green,
+Lively Yellow, Violet, and Purple. The primary inspirational colors
+are: Light Blue, Pale Green, Rose, Pink, Lavender, Lively Red. From
+these you can form your Monochrome of almost endless results. It is
+wise and best to select and use just those colors which will give the
+greatest intensity of vibration. Once you have found your responsive
+and sympathetic colors, those grouped together form your Magnetic
+Monochrome. Magnetism is the highest form of physicalized power in the
+universe. It knows no resistance, it passes thru all substances and
+pervades all space. It is the most vital power in the universe. Our
+modern life presents a magnetic paradox, it affords the greatest
+development of magnetism and is the greatest destroyer of it. It is
+generated by the brain, flows to the right thru the body in form of a
+figure 8. From the brain to the solar plexus, across to the left side,
+then down to the procreative organs and thru to the right side, and
+up to the solar plexus again and thru to the left side and up to the
+brain. The solar plexus is the body's great life centre.
+
+=PERSONAL MAGNETISM:= Keep steadily cultivating Magnetism, or
+your supply of Human Electricity. The solar plexus is the great
+sympathetic centre of the nervous system. Keep it aroused and active,
+and you will increase your magnetic forces. Sensation, emotion and
+intensity of expression rise from the solar plexus. Magnetism is
+generated by brain forces focalized by thoughts, the nerves are the
+medium of transfusion, colors increase the vibrations. The moist palm
+of the hand forms an electrode when applied to any affected part. The
+brain, by thought, starts the magnetic currents of healing force thru
+the arm into the part treated. Let your eyes rest on the color of the
+Monochrome used, the current will then be complete. By practise you
+can greatly intensify the healing thoughts and so increase the flow of
+magnetism. While giving yourself the treatment, or to others, breathe
+deeply and regularly. Have the body relaxed while treating, better
+lying down. Have your eyes on the color, also if treating another,
+have them look at the same color.
+
+=MENTAL DISORDERS:= In all mental disorders, like Hysteria,
+Grief, Distress, Fear, Melancholy, select that color from your
+Monochrome that most soothes your particular temperament. It may be
+light green, or yellow, or pink, or one of the blues. You will soon
+be able to quickly tell which gives the greater relief. Use only one
+color at a time. You will find that after a little you can summon to
+your mind the color you desire without even using the actual color in
+the Monochrome.
+
+=IN CASE OF INJURIES:= In case of injuries, swellings,
+inflammation, local pain, apply both hands where possible. Have the
+palm of the hands always moist. To start the process of thinking that
+will arouse the magnetic currents, think of the affected part as
+WELL. Think of the pain as LEAVING. Now, in treating the heart for
+palpitation, think of it as quiet, as strong, praise the heart for its
+wonderful endurance and power thru the past years, think of the strong
+abounding heart of an ox, or moose, and think that strength into your
+heart, that your heart is like it in power. You will see a decided
+improvement. Use the colors of the Monochrome in such cases as will
+give you the best vibration, the color that best responds to you. Try
+the Red, Violet, Blue. Most "heart troubles" are not heart troubles at
+all, but troubles of digestion. Give attention to diet, and keep your
+intestinal tract clear.
+
+=TREATING THE EYES AND EARS:= In all troubles of the eyes and
+ears apply the hands over the eyes, letting the palms rest firmly but
+not pressingly upon the eye, with the fingers up over the forehead, of
+course having the eyes closed. Also treat with one palm over the
+eye and the other at the base of the brain. Use the colors of the
+Monochrome that give the highest intensity of magnetic response. The
+Purple, Violet, Blues, and Green. In treating the ears, do the same.
+Place the palm on each side of the neck. Also treat the throat with
+both palms, and with single treatment of one palm. IT IS NOT NECESSARY
+THAT BOTH HANDS BE USED AT ONCE, but it increases the force to do so.
+
+=TREATING THE SOLAR PLEXUS:= Treat the solar plexus daily by
+resting both hands lightly but firmly over the pit of the stomach. Use
+the colors crimson, dark blue, violet, and purple. Untwist your solar
+plexus by cheerful thinking, get new life force into its withered
+and neglected condition. Invalidism is only a withered solar plexus.
+Cultivate laughter to arouse it, work at laughter until you sweat
+profusely, do the same by walking, and other exercises. Stimulate life
+in your solar plexus and you will return to youth. As I have said, the
+solar plexus is the great magnetic centre, keep it actively healthy,
+bathe it with sunshine. In treating the kidneys, place the palm of the
+hands over them flatly, and use the colors as above.
+
+TREAT THE STOMACH AND LIVER WITH THE SAME COLORS Also treat the
+LUNGS. The length of time for a treatment can vary from 2 minutes
+to any length. Oft'times the soothing effect will induce sleep. As
+placing the palms over the temples for nervous headache. The more
+you develop the magnetism the more readily will the effect be
+accomplished.

+=Lesson Ninth=
+
+=THE SUPREME LAW OF TELEPATHY=
+
+
+=LIFE IS SPIRIT:= "The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord."
+Just in the degree you THINK AND EXERCISE your Supreme Nature will you
+know the Power of the Spirit. Spirit is the essence and manifestation
+of life. Thru it you shall Realize, shall Experience, shall See, shall
+Know, shall Live. "His ministering spirits go to and fro thru all the
+earth doing His good pleasure." Nothing can come except we attract and
+draw it. Nothing can stay with us when we LET GO. All are made one by
+the spirit. You are an enthroned BEING. Around you are forces of the
+spirit waiting to do your bidding. The moment you attract them, the
+windows of the Universe are opened and the power of the spirit is
+poured upon you. It is everywhere. It's glory fills the earth, radiant
+in the glories of the sunset, shining in the soft light of the moon,
+gleaming in the lovely stars. Waiting to minister to your needs, to
+fulfill your desires, to comfort you, to restore you, to endow you
+with power. YOU ARE OF THE SUPREME SPIRIT.
+
+=THE LAW OF TELEPATHY:= It is a supreme law whereby one soul may
+reach and minister unto another soul. It is spirit manifested thru
+thought waves. It is magnetism spiritualized. It is a mystical
+wonder of spiritual manifestations. It inspires visions, dreams,
+premonitions, and thru vibration of wave-thoughts gives universal
+communion, soul companionship, to the children of Light. To use the
+law, sit in Silence, relaxed. Summon a mental picture of the person
+you wish to reach. Get clearly as possible the actual presence in your
+mind. Then begin to send the wave thoughts by repeating impressively
+to yourself, or aloud, the message of your code. Never try to do this
+when tired, exhausted, or excited. THINK INTENTLY on the message and
+your desire to reach the mind of the person you wish to aid. Students
+should practice both sending and receiving Telepathic messages and
+influences daily. Never think that the will, condition, or temperament
+of the person to whom they are directed, will retard, obstruct or
+destroy your work. Act in Supreme command. Put all the intense force
+of your WILL into your wave-thoughts, magnetic ethers will be your
+messengers. You will likely get a direct response in a wave unison, or
+it may come later after your work is done. The student should bear in
+mind also that they may and should develop original work, make new and
+personal codes. The purpose of codes is to unify the wave motion and
+keep the mind intense. Beware of selfish purpose, revenge, hate; these
+are the Destroying Angel, sure to return to you.
+
+=TELEPATHIC CODE FOR HEALING:= I bring you healing. You are
+Supreme over all bodily conditions. You shall not suffer. Pain shall
+leave you. Strength is thine. You shall not die, but live. Perfect
+Good is in you and you are a part of it. I see you well. You are
+delivered. You are uplifted. Arise and walk. Go forth to thy desire.
+Every organ and function of your body is full of health. I see you as
+a part of the Supreme Life whole, active, happy, strong.
+
+=TELEPATHIC CODE FOR GUIDANCE:= No evil shall befall thee. You
+are safe. Fear shall not assail you. You are greater than all dangers.
+You shall have light with you. Wisdom shall be a lamp to thy feet.
+Courage shall illumine you. Faith and Hope shall be close to you. You
+shall not be deceived. You shall prevail. That which you seek shall be
+revealed unto you. Your heart's desire shall be granted. You shall not
+err. You shall reach your aims, and shall achieve your purpose.
+
+=TELEPATHIC CODE FOR SUCCESS:= All power is yours. You are
+supreme. Wealth, possessions, friends, position and happiness are for
+you. Ways shall open before you. Opportunity will be revealed to you.
+Bright possibilities shall be made manifest to you. You shall see
+an open door. Abundance is yours. Power to supply your needs will be
+given to you. Doubts shall clear away leaving you free. The eyes of
+your mind shall be filled with light. You shall be guided to plenty.
+
+=TELEPATHIC CODE FOR FRIENDS:= All ways are open between us. I am
+calling to you. My soul and mind are open to you. No wrong shall
+endure between us. The springs of kindness shall be open to us. I
+am listening to your spirit. We shall be led into Truth, Love and
+Happiness. Our love is perfect. We shall not err. You hear the voice
+of my wish for you. You know my mind. All promises in truth are
+perfect. All is light, there is no darkness between us. There is no
+distance, or obstacle between us. Your mind answers to my mind, your
+heart to my heart, your soul to my soul. When tempted, I am near to
+with-hold you. When disheartened I will inspire you. Day and night
+are the same, you shall not falter. Our vision shall be made real. Our
+desires, heart longings, soul hunger shall be satisfied. Our future
+hopes shall be actualized. Our destinies realized in the pavilions
+of Silence. Your life and my life are the radiant units of the Life
+Perfect.
+
+=BUILD THE WORLD WITH THOUGHT WAVES:= The dire curse of this
+world is idleness. Some are working too hard, while a vast multitude
+idly look on. Don't be a looker, be a doer. Don't be a knocker, be a
+booster. Idleness is a sin: "The wages of sin is death." That is why
+people who stop working soon die off. "If a man will not work, neither
+shall he eat." He can't eat long. He loses his appetite, spoils his
+digestion, gets heart failure. When you retire from business, from
+work, from active aggressive occupation, you want to buy your lot
+in the grave-yard at once. "If I were rich", do you say? Stuff and
+nonsense, if you were rich you would be unbearably meaner than you are
+now, a hundred times more stupidly useless. What you need is PUNCH.
+You have lost your Grip, Grit and Punch. And no matter if you are
+ninety years old you can get them all back. How? Listen.
+
+Build the World with Thought Waves. Begin with your WORLD, what is it?
+The kitchen or the school-room? The ditch or the mayor's chair? The
+field or as superintendent of a railroad? A brickyard or a bank? A
+bench or a pulpit? A loom or grand opera? A pick or a pen? Take a look
+at your world, what is it? Now plan it, then breathe life into your
+plan. You cannot help others until you help yourself. You cannot save
+others and not be worth saving yourself. You are Supreme and this is
+your ultimate hour. You are under the law of liberty, go to your own.
+Free of all outward restraints, forms, commands and laws you are an
+absolute unit of God power in the universe. You shall be judged
+only by this law of liberty, the best in you and the highest good of
+others.
+
+Use this personal code as you work:
+
+=PERSONAL CODE:= I am power. I am life. I am energy. I am
+fearless. I am strong. I am free. I am success. I am well. Faith is
+clear, bright, shining within me. I shall be guided. I shall be given
+wisdom. I shall triumph.
+
+That personal code given ten minutes a day will double your power of
+efficiency in six months. Stick to it. Each day drive it harder. Bring
+out your abilities, insight, courage, daring, and boost yourself.
+Energy is something you generate just as the dynamo generates
+electricity. Start your mental and physical dynamo. Freight thought
+waves with your desires and send them out. They will come back richly
+laden for you. Load your smiles, heart throbs, good wishes, onto
+thought waves and send them out, to serve others, cheer others, give
+hope to others, to help others across the hard places. They will come
+back bearing to you, "some thirty fold, some sixty fold, and some an
+hundred fold." Happiness comes thru loving service.
+
+The student should have faith in the work entered upon. It is founded
+upon law and fact. Some day the law will be made fully clear and
+operative in all departments of life. The wireless telegraph is a step
+in the demonstration. Recently a young woman, in Elizabeth, N.J. was
+awakened by thought waves after all medical applications had failed to
+arouse her from a six days' sleep. An acquaintance of the author's
+was warned by wave thoughts from his mother to avoid danger. He was
+so deeply impressed that he delayed a day, his western trip, and so
+missed the train that went down at Ashtabula. A husband who was some
+miles distant transacting business received the thought waves from his
+wife that she was in danger. He hastened with all speed and found his
+home in flames. A young lady felt the impress of thought waves from a
+young man to whom she was engaged, and decided not to join a boating
+party. On the return trip the pleasure launch took fire and six of the
+party perished. A whole volume could be filled with most interesting
+cases of positive results of Telepathy, or thought waves. But let the
+student begin and test the marvels of this mystical power.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+Never "squeal." Live with, stand by, die for, your friends. The
+seventh circle of hell is reserved for "squealers."
+
+
+
+
+=THE LAST WORD=:
+
+
+Start now. "Get thee out." "Launch out into the deep." Darkness shall
+be a pavilion around you. Angels of Light stand by your side.
+This Supreme hour is yours. Set sail. Realize yourself as Supreme,
+Infinite, Immortal, then Divine. Crown with glory your individuality.
+"Now are we the Sons of God." Limitless life, boundless capacities of
+power. Shut your eyes to the flesh, shut your ears to the world, shut
+your heart to fear, shut your soul to hate. Stick to the chase until
+you get the trophy. Search for the Holy Grail until true love's
+untiring ministry the cup in your unselfish hand sparkles and flashes
+in the crimson and sapphire glory of your quest. Burst from your
+chrysalis of doubt and the Supreme wings of the Spirit shall sweep you
+forward to triumph. There is no gloom in God's universe except what we
+make ourselves. The skies sparkle with possibilities, calling you
+into their glowing fields of power and service. Get passion into
+your chilled soul. Master fate. Span the universe. Hurl forth the
+thunderbolts of your energy and the mountains of difficulty will be
+cast into the sea. Take your place in the sun. Stop reviling God by
+saying you are a worm of the dust, a miserable sinner, and that there
+is no good within you. Quit damning yourself. Nothing is impossible.
+You hold the key to the Universe. Mind is Supreme. Thought limitless.
+Weave your Spirit out of sunbeams. Seize the glittering stars and they
+will become your chariots. You and the Universe of God are one. To-day
+is eternal. This shining moment is everlasting. Lift your eyes to
+Visions that gleam thru the purple clouds of loveliness, from the
+matchless forms of Beauty, and YOU SHALL SEE THE INVISIBLE. Listen to
+the Voices that unseal the velvet lips of Silence, and YOU SHALL
+HEAR THE INAUDIBLE. Put forth your Supreme hand unto Dominions,
+Principalities and Powers, and YOU SHALL DO THE IMPOSSIBLE.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+If you wish time to go fast, use the spur of the moment.

+
+Women were never so attractive, never dressed so beautifully as now,
+and they never wore so few clothes.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+Blame no one if you are unhappy, for every law, force and influence in
+the Universe is for your Harmony and Happiness. USE THEM.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+Cheer up. You are all right if you are bald headed outside, if you
+are not bald inside. Remember, Samson did his biggest killing after
+he lost his hair. Your bald head is like Paradise, there's no parting
+there. Your teeth may be out, and your hair may be thin, yet there's
+many a good tune in an old violin.
+
+The Optimist sees the doughnut, the Pessimist sees the hole. The
+Pessimist asks: "Is there any milk in that pitcher?" The Optimist
+asks: "Will you please pass the cream?" A Pessimist is a man who winds
+an eight-day clock every night. An Optimist is a man who gives his
+clock away so as not to lose any good time winding it. A Pessimist is
+a person so disagreeable, he won't eat anything that agrees with him.
+An Optimist is a person who can eat a cottage pudding so agreeably
+that you think he is enjoying a brown stone palace on Riverside Drive.

+"God give us men! A time like this demands
+Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands;
+Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
+Men whom the spoil of office does not buy;
+Men who possess opinions and a will;
+Men who have honor, men who will not lie;
+Men who can stand before a demagogue,
+And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking!
+Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog
+In public duty and in private thinking."

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
