Must Want Things
Loud Enough
By CORONA REMINGTON

"ITs a well-known fact that ifyou
want a thing hard enough you
get it-that Is hard enough and long
enough"
John Winton Strengthened in his
seat and stared at the lecturer. It
was the first remark Doctor Jameson
had made that had attracted his at
IGNITION.
1.-THE magic of wishing" the lee
turer went on. "That's what you might
.all it-for its power is often magical,
and | could cite hundreds of cases
where the effect has been almost mi
raculous. Just get the image of the
hing you want in your mind and dwell
Upon 1t. Think of it frequently and
see it clearly and work for it. Don't
get the idea that all you have to do
Is pray for it. Combine the two
wishing and working, They're great
cam and an equal amount of both
will have great effect.
THAT'S all today Thank you"
Amid a short spatter of applause the
lecturer left the platform and John
Winton worked his way out with The
crowd.
"Pretty good lecture, eh. Winton?
You know. I believe there's something
In that wishing business"
I'm inclined to think so, too," John
answered.
"My kid believes in it anyhow"

lectures the other evening at dinner

"I know it's true, daddy. If | wish
for thing hard enough and long
enough some one always brings it to
me-"
And loud enough. 1t might not
be bad to put that into the require
ments. Some folks want thing they
could have for the asking, but they
don't know how to ask, and the per-
son who has it doesn't know it's
wanted"
Winton gaped at Macmillan.

said. after a pause.

"You won't have to-just wish for
1t hard enough and long enough and
loud enough and, there is no doubt

the younger man.
