perence, and without study waste of time and
without health, vitality will power, has given me
the power to earn more than million dollars with
out selling merchandise stocks, bonds, books, drugs,
appliances or any material thing of any character.
This subtle and basic principle of success requires
no will power, exercise, strength, no energy,
NO study no writing, dieting, concentration
and no conscious deep breathing There is nothing
to practice nothing to study, and nothing to sell.
This subtle and basic principle of success does not
require that you practice economy or keep records,
or memorizc learn TO do anything. or force your
self into any action invest in any stocks, bonds,
books or merchandise.

memory systems, will power systems, Christian

suggestion, concentration personality" sef-coni-

pie be confused with initiative, mental endurance
luck, chance self-analysis self-contro Neither
should this principle be confused with imagination
enthusiasm, persuasion, force or persistence. nor
with the art or science of talking craftsmanship,
