OF Yale University, the forester Of tho 800

DESIRE FRAMES DESTINY.

for the revelation and how many
would shrink back with terror and

be found only after having heated the
paper. We are writing upon our
souls in invisible ink characters to be
read years after In hot crises As your
desire is. 50 are you As your act, so
is your destiny. We are limited by
circumstance and fortune and cannot
choose where and when we shall be
born And SO circumstance is power
full, but desire is more powerful than
circumstance. and since desire is in
fiuenced by your thoughts you must
let your mind play about what is
right and honorable, for as your de-
sire is SO is your act. We must live
SO that the mind may naturally turn
