POTENTIALS.

Over and above everything in the battle
of life we have "potentials." A potential
is a simple thing. A shoemaker or ma
chinist is as apt to have it as an Archduke
or Gar, or Supreme Court Judge or d
Senator or President. 1t comes into the
brain as a constructive idea. 1t works out
of one brain into ten, hundred, thou
sand, hundred million. Then it is force
nothing can resist.
Put men with constructive ideas into the
wilderness and the desert and their ideas
will show themselves the highest realities,
controlling all difficulties. What were the
worst difficulties serve constructive ideas
asthe raw material for great States and great
cities, for fields yielding their products
wear by year in the hundreds of millions OF
bushels or of dollars, for new creation in q
thousand ways, depriving none and en-
riching all, with new opportunities created
at every step forward and the Open Road
into the future cleared and kept open.
never to be closed and kept closed by any
force or any fraud. If We doubt that con
structive ideas have this force in them fol
the future we have only to look around US
into the present and back into the past
which they and they alone converted into
TINS present.
These things are for all men. For our.
selves, man by man, if We can look back
and see how by the use of any idea OF ours
we have been able to escape struggle. tt
subject others and to dominate them while
giving single constructive idea its force
in serving them, or if we can look into thu
future and see opportunities opening befors
US for this, then we can see that which, fo
each one of US, man by man, means power
the highest possible power for US, as TO
each one of US and for all it is liberation
Were there only one man in the million o
US who had such cause for congratulatiol
as that would mean for himself and for al
of US, all would surely go forward with hin
to greater power, to fuller prosperity, t
the only possible independence indie
pence which belongs to the highest possibl
freedom of service. The man who ha
such independence has the highest caus
for gratitude.

OF hopes to rise or fears to fall,
