no interest in the subject: hence made no effort in its preparation. During the summer would have her take a nap in the afternoon. lying | on the floor as I read my paper. I told her would talk to her while she slept She said: What are you going to talk to me about uncle7r Oh. some thing for your good" But won't hear you if I am asleep" "Yes, you will, and you will answer me, too without awakening
 I began by saying, You will sleep well and my talking will not disturb you Do you hear meT' "Yes, sir" came faint1y. T noticed on your card that in one of your studies you had a very low marking. That will not oc- cur again. You will take q great in- terest in it; you will get high per- | centage2" Yes" hear you say Burning this now to first person sing ular), T am going to study st. am xes; ing to like 1t. am going to sacceed kt it and I'm going to surprise and please my teacher.Sat Nc IA Heat54 sis.s-
 repeated these "suggestions" over and over again, not only each time that the treatment was given, but for many days in succession. She slept well. When she awakened she had no recollection of what had been said. The impressions had been made and the subjective mind received them without any conscious effort of the objective mind; hence no objective re- collection. Then, you may ask, what becomes of the Suggestions" made to the subjective mind2
 During the waking hours they rise above the threshold of consciousness. but not as thoughts suggested by an- other, but as an inspiration, desire, determination emanating wholly from the subject.
 In the case of my niece the thought found lodgment in very congenial soil and brought forth good results At the close Of the next school year she came home in great glee, saying, as she handed me the card: See here, uncle! Here Is my marking on that study did not like, but like 1t now. Seel have a very high per cent. on IL. Amt it queer?" Of course. I thought 1t was.
 The question has been asked time and again, If the subjective mind is lntuitive, and if it Is ever ready and willing to assist, and if 1t has such power over the human machinery, why do you have to tell it what you want (when it already knows), and after you tell 1t once, why do you repeat and repeat (when the memory of the subjective mind is perfect)?''
 To all those who believe in prayer l would, in answer, ask this question. If God is. as all believers will admit omniscient Gall knowing), and if, as we are told, He Is even more ready than are our parents to give good gifts unto His children, why does He who knows our desires, without utter ing them, Why does He not grant them without telling Him what we want; or, having told Him once, why Is 1t nec- essary to repeat and repeat and re- peat?
 All the doubts and fears and dis couragements lie in the objective mind If you can get rid of them by one pe- tition, you will never need a second, You did not get them all at once; you loaded up with them by degrees. Even when these things that have been are no more, you still have need to keep In touch--the finite with the Infinite to prevent occurrences.
 Therefore, every time the suggestion Is made 1t Is for the purposes of strengthening your objective mind and thus to not interfere with the subject i've. or soul mind, in carrying out your desire.
 In the same manner, when you pray audibly (by yourself, not to be heard by others), your faith Is increased be- cause of the spoken words acting as an uto-suggestion. When In great distress, you 'cry aloud (not loudly), because the spoken heartfelt petition relieves the over-b -burdened soul and strengthens you.
 Remember, God Is ever ready to help, but He helps only those who help themselves; the subjective mind the mind of the souD is ever ready. but 1t depends upon the attitude of the obs jeetive. We are, indeed. free moral agents.
 Caution to Mothers. Do not speak disparagingly to a child. especially in the presence of Rn- other To speak of child's faults up- on such an occasion is 10 impress them more deeply upon the child. To tell him he is stupid Is to make him the more so: to tell him he is coward Is to exaggerate the condition of fear within him; 10 tell him he Is idle and 1 good -for-nothin is to make him so; l but to pick out the good points and to ! speak of them Is to encourage him and make him forget the less desirable ] ones The law of suggestion is abso- | lute
