GREAT ENEMY OF HUMANITY
Spirit Of Fear Holds Many Back From
Heights Which They Might
Easily Attain.

The greatest enemy OF the human
race is fear.
II we could Danish fear in all its
forms, it would mean more to civili-
cation than any previous step in eve
luton. Health would be immeasur-
ably improved; much unhappiness
would be wiped out; efficiency would
be greatly increased, and success
would be the rule. With the removal
of fear. would come zeal human broth
erhood. True democracy would begin.
II you are not as well, as happy. as
efficient or as successful as you would
like to be, you may find the why In
your fears.
"As a man thlnketh in his heart, so
is he'-physically. in disposition and
in circumstances. Fear-thought is tox-
ic, destructive and harmful. Some
forms of f~ear-thought are worry. hat
red, Jealousy, despair, anger, melan-
choly, encouragement. depression, con-
fusion. -negativeness, nervousness, fret
fitness, self-consciousness, lack Of
self-conhdence and foreboding.
Fear Of failure is also caused by
not thinking well enough of ones self.
To Danish this and all other forms Of
fear, one needs another kind of think
ing. Replace fear-thoughts with faith
thoughts and systematically cultivate
the new line of thinking until 1t gets
to be a habit.
Take a mental inventory today !
Seek out your hidden mental weak
nesses and expose them to the light Of
fearless analysis. Get to work upon
your fears and run them out. Flood
your whole mental region with faith.
Repeat daily and the results Will
amaze you.-C. Franklin Leavitt, n.
