Foolish Fear ., Poverty.

=. great deal Of apparent poverty
Gomez from dread OF poverty. A man
saves every cent and goes mind and
soul hungry, and, ten to one. he Is
starving somebody else at the same
time along with himself. He is renlly
poor. for the time being, although ne
has Q large bank account.
Poverty will come every time as the
result OF the improper attitude toward
money. Money is not a reality; 1t rep
resents things that we consider for
our good. But there Is no poverty Ike
that OF the starved soul that shrinks
and dries up into narrowness and COM
preston. In getting the feeling OF
wealth look about you, See all the
wonders Of nature: believe that won
ders will happen and then get ready
for them.
After the days work Is done build
air castles. and then so In and lay q

this lies In your hands In doing the

One vital service that may be put
