WHATSOEVER A MAN SoWETH

II We could but grasp the mean
ing Of the fundamental law Of
growth; that all things Of life must
be grown from the seed, how often
might We be saved the disappointing
prospect Of reaching out after things
which already lie within our grasp.
The inability to get on, the under
lying cause of most failures, is due
to a lack Of understanding of this
simple truth. II, instead Of expect
ing ng'opportunity to fall into our laps,
full-grown, ripe and Juicy, on the
instant Of desire, we had but the
courage and persistence to cherish
the seed which Is already ours. our
hopes and prayers might be INDUCED
to some purpose. v.-
When we send forth our prayers to
the Infinite; when we sink our redui-
sitions into the subconscious MIND,
the answer comes, not in the finished
product Of our desire, but in the
form Of beginning-seed. In answer
to prayer comes the seed, which we
ourselves must nurture, under Divine
guidance, from conception to matur-
ity. We complain that opportunity
Is withheld. when the truth IL that
we cannot be goaded into accepting
the opportunities which are already
ours, or IN making the most Of them
In the only form in which we are
lifted to profit by them.
Opportunity. whether for health.
wisdom, love, success, or financial
mastery. must be grown from the
seed. successful people are those who
are fertile to the seed OF opportunity.
Growing things are Invariably and
progressively active and failure Is
usually an evidence Of sterliity. isnor-
sncs or neglect.
