NEW WAY TO WEALTH.
VIII Power as Means of Winning
Riches,

According to theosophy, said DIR. A.
w. Coryn, the human will was definite
force, and when strongly moved by
desire it was able to accomplish visi-
Bile results, although no apparent action
had been taken. The desires of men
were constantly affecting their out
ward circumstances, and even If, as
in the case of a man wishing for wealth,
no immediate result is seen. the ulti-
mate effect will be that in another earth
life he would be horn amid wealthy sur
roundings. 1t always happened, how
ever, that when the coveted boon was
obtained some unwelcome and un-
looked-for circumstance accompanied
it. and so the wise man avoids definite
wishes about his future, recognizing his
Ignorance of what is really best for him.
and patiently accepting the destiny
meted out to him by the Just law.
George Muller, of Bristol. supports n

The venerable founder relates his wish
for definite sum of money to meet a

things, and once the idea, strongly vi
talized by his will, passed out into the
ether, it floated about until attracted
