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.

The American people lose three million years every twelve months by being sick. The doctor's fees amount to a billion and two hundred and twenty million. Wonder what the Master of Life meant when he said: "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
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.

Very few men are smart enough to fill five reels with genuine dare-devil acts of villainy, and get away with it, by coming out an angel at the end of the film.
Heart failure is largely acute indigestion from selfishness. Sunstroke is quite likely brought on by anger and anxiety "het-up" by relatives. Apoplexy is hate breaking up housekeeping. Paresis is free-love embellished with champagne. Appendicitis is a six-cylinder appetite hitched to a half horse power ambition. Nervous prostration is a self-love "Movie" trying to cover the earth in a single-reel. Pneumonia is vanity over-heated in seal skin.
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.

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.

"Let the howlers howl,Let the growlers growl,Let the scowlers scowl,And the gee-gaws go it.You keep in the light,Be brave in your fight,You'll win alright,And I know it."—Anon.
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."
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."
