GET CLOSE TO Spring
BY Angela Morgan.


Get close to the spring. Don't
miss the healing and regeneration
that exist for you in the renewing in
fiuences of this wonderful season.
Just as the physical world about
you is at this time being rejuvenated
and made glad by these influences, so
may you, If you will but vibrate in
harmony with the spirit of spring,
realize a definite renovation Of your
entire being.
There is no reason why the earth
should receive the real benefits Of the
springtime and humanity fail to ap-
propriate them. Everything thrills
and stirs and wakens in response to
the summons. Why should not human
beings by a like response appropriate
the most vital good of the season for
the recreation of mind and body?
1t is my belief that people gener-
ally do not appropriate this good. HUI
manity is prone to consider its aging,
decaying tendencies instead Of looking
for the possibility Of reconstruction
within itself.
1t is natural for US to believe
the earth should be renewed. but
we are so accustomed to thinking of
ourselves as subject to laws Of decay
and age that we do not accept the re-
generation that is ours.
Why should every clod feel a stir
of might, an instinct within it that
reaches and towers" while human
creatures conscious, thinking souls
talk OF disease and declining powers? :?
If human beings could just push
away their doubts and fears and bogy
beliefs about themselves and really
let nature have her perfect way with
them, it would soon be seen that the
lack OF vitality and decline are never
her fault.
than he will permit. The renewing
can come to him only in the degree
that he opens himself to it. Man, as
a conscious being, must consciously
cooperate with nature in her efforts
to rebuild him. Certainly nature can
do little for him when his thought Is
working in opposition.
Scientists to-day are waking to the
significance of the self-regulative ten
dencies In living organisms, and
particularly to the regenerative faculty
which the human body possesses. DR..
r. H. France Of the University OF Ber-
lin, in an article on the subject, de-
clares such phenomena to be among
the most wonderful problems of mod
ern biology.
Who knows to what extent this fac
ulty would show itself in man, did he
not interfere with the process by his
own erroneous beliefs? Our doubts,
our disappointments, our disillusion-
ments and our cynicism bar the way,
obstruct the channels through which
restoration might come to us. If
mans mentality offered no obstructions
who knows what Transformation might
be wrought in him?
Get close to the spring. Danish
your fears and false beliefs. When
you go out into the parks or into the
country and see the green and gold
abuot you. don't simply say. How
lovely!" and think wistfully of your
youth. Realize that you have Just as
much right to the healing and the
gladness of spring to-day as you ever
did Know that nature is eager to re-
invigorate you and transform you just
as she is ready to transform the earth.
Let go of your troubles long enough
to take this in. Make a channel big
enough for the influence to reach you.
Say definitely and positively: This
health and beauty are for me. The
spring is for me. 1 take in all of it's
power for good. The universal life
forces are working through me to re-
new me-
No matter how run down" and out
of sorts you feel, let go. Get close to
the spring. 1t isn't any harder, surely,
for her to perform your regeneration
than it was for her to release the cold
earth from the bondage of winter
Decree that the spring shall mean
more to you this year than 1t has ever
meant before. There is an abundance
of life and health in it's influence for
you. 1t rests with you to appropriate
these benefits.
