TO BE SUPERIOR TO CHANCE
Man of Necessity Is Made Of Right
Material When He Can Rise
Above Depression.

Some people are thrown off their
balance the moment anything goes
wrong with them. They do not seem
to have tie ability to overcome i'm
pediments and TO do their work in
spite OF annoyance.
Anybody can work when everything
goes smoothly, when there is nothing
to trouble him; but a man must be
made of the right kind of stuff who
can rise above the things which an
noy. harass and handicap the weak,
and do his work in spite of them. In
deed, this is the test of greatness.
AS matter of fact, the greatest
achievements In all time have been ac-
complished by men and women who
have been handicapped, annoyed, per-
secuted, misunderstood, criticised. But
they have been great enough to rise
above all these things and to do their
work in spite Of them.
A tremendous power permeates the
life and solidifes character from hold
ing perpetually the life-thought, the
truth-thought, the cheerful-thought and
the secret takes hold Of the very fun
damental principles OF the universe,
gets down to the verify Of things, ex-
cludes all kinds Of errors and lives in
reality itself. A sense OF security, Of
power, Of calmness and OF repose
comes in the life that is conscious Of
being enveloped in the very center OF
truth and reality which can never
come to those who live on the surface
Of things.
Try to visualize the condition of
health, happiness and plenty which
you long to be yours. The actor does
not think that he will sometimes be,
come the character he impersonates,
but he assumes that he is the charac-
ter now; he makes himself feel that
he is the character. He actually imag.
ines that he is living the life Of the
character.
