1t is curious how conviction tends
to become deep and strong by reason
of the fact that it is entertained. It
seems to possess the power of the seed
to send out shoots and become rooted
in the mind, and ultimately to yield
to its fruitage. Indeed, except for those
rare natures that have the power on
the instant of coming to the firmest
decision, the element Of time is an i'm
portant factor in the strength of our
convictions. While we are completely
occupied in other things our beliefs
and decisions are unconsciously grow
ing, and we find. perhaps to our sur
prise, that the opinion of a month or
two ago has become a controlling con-
viction. Parents are often discouraged
because noble ideas appear to arouse
SO little response in the inner lives of
their children. But there is no reason
for encouragement. If they will recall
the time factor in the formation of
their own characters, they will have
an Astounding faith in the gradual
deepening of convictions through the
processes Of life. The good seed that
falls on good ground needs only to be
let alone to produce a good harvest.
