THE POWER OF THE WILL

Will is the part consciousness plays in evolution. 1t
is the individual organism helping to make self-man
taking hand in his making, plotting his vessel of
heredity through the sea of environment.
1t is through will that we develope neglect the ca
pacity bestowed by heredty, gifted person may idle
away his time and become nobody; mediocre one may
improve himself best he and become Of consequence
is for each man himself to say whether he will be all
that nature permits
Capacity undeveloped is as fruitess as capacity at
ALL as seed unsown is barren dead seed. 1t is by
will that we realize upon our capacities that choose
to be not to be what inherent pOtentiates allow
Within the limitations of inherited capacities and en-
vronment one becomes what he will He cannot by will
ing enlarge his capacities but he devepe them to the
fal He cannot by willing create opportunities but he
can utilize them and help them arise.
Ones life unfolds, like the rose, from within.
No more pregnant words occur in holy writ than
these GAS a man thinketh in his heart so is he"
AS the seed is so is the flower the spring so the
stream as the tree is is the fruit and as mans will is
50 is his life.
The workings from to effect are as absolute and
mmutabe in the secret realm of the soul as in the outer
world of visible things.
Will must find its oWn surely and wesistaby as the
hOmg dove finds its cote the bee the clover and the seed
shoot the light it seeks
mans will is the master weaver of his destiny.
