SUCCESS.

Never talk or think of failure or
adversely. Be determined to sue
coed, and permit no thought or
word to suggest snything else.
No matter if things today 20
wrong. This shall also pass away.
The world is your friend, though
it may seem at times to he against
you. The world seems to be
against you because you have not
met the world in the right way.
Change yourself. Be a friend to
everybody-the whole world. Ex-
pect everybody to be good to you,
and desire constantly to be of real
service to man. And ere long fate
will change. Believe that every
body is against you, and you rub
them all the wrong way. Know
that the tue side of mankind is a
true friend to every aspiring soul,
and then place yourself in touch
with the ideal in man; meet only
his better side, aud your life. as
well as the life of the world, is
made richer thereby. Never think
nor speak Of failure or adversely.
Think success, speak success,
breathe success. attract success,
live success, aud be saturated
through aud through with abso.
lute faith in your own success.
Believe that the world is for you,
that nothing is against you; aud
so your faith is, so shall it be un-
to you.-Eternal Progress.
