Every person influences other persons
for good or for harm. There is law of
spiritual gravitation, as there is law of
physical gravitation. AS every form of
matter attracts every other form with a
force directly proportional to their m sses
and inversely proportional to the square
of the distance between them, so every
person exerts an influence on other per-
sons. This influence is often strongest
when the person is least conscious of it.
AS actions sometimes speak palmer than
words, so unconscious actions and uncon-
sciously spoken words often reveal more
than those conscious and premeditated.
A well-known and successful man said:
"W hen | was young man facing for the
first time the temptations of great city,
used often, during the first few months,
when both money and friends were
scarce, to walk the streets of an evening.
to get away from myself, to forget my
/ loneliness and Ion ging for companionship.
/ was looking as everyone is, though often
he does not know it, for someone who
understood, someone who had fought my
battle and won. One evening, amid tht
/ hurrying, restless crowd, like sheep with
out shepherd, heard voice in from
of me. 1t was soft and low, and thrilled
/ me like chance strain of rare music. The
speaker was a small, elderly woman walk
ing with tall, gray man. Of what she
was saying | caught few words That
did not matter. 1t was the voice that
held me- 1t spoke to me, dimly and con
Iusedly perhaps, but truly enough, of such
pain, grief, and conflict as boy coulc
have but little comprehension of; ano
victory proportioned to its cost. In my
eager hope and boylsh curiosity passed
them to get glimpse of the face. 1t wa:
lined and sad, and of an ineifable sweet
ness. 1t matched the voice,
l never saw her again. But l have
never forgotten. In the weeks that fol
lowed that voice was with me. 1t helt
me like an unseen hand; it led me; ant
even now, after forty years, its fluenc'
remains"
