shall be filled!" is the promise. Enter the silence of meditation with sincere desire, with "an earnest and contrite heart," and you shall be filled with power to bring into manifestation that which you have in silence affirmed.

Here is the Law as laid down in my first book. How to Control Fate through Suggestion, and time has enabled me only to enter into a deeper realization that it is the one and only Law of Success.

Build for yourself a perfect Ideal!
Think from that Ideal as a present reality!
Affirm that Ideal a present reality!
Suggest from that Ideal as a present reality!
Act from that Ideal as a present reality!
And it becomes to you a present reality.

It may be briefly stated thus: --- Think, speak and act just as you wish to be, and you will be that which you wish to be.

Those who thus think become that which they think, because the Law of Life is: I am that which I think. To think is to be! Destroy my thinking power and I am destroyed. Therefore the only thing I have to do to control my life is to control my thoughts and think --- Control! Concentrate upon the thought of Self-Mastery. Self-control is the keystone of character. Faith in Self the source of personal magnetism; the source of power; the source of success. Therefore the first thing to cultivate is faith in Self.

Affirmation to use:

I believe in myself as the source of Truth Love, Wisdom and Power.

Concentrate upon this thought and then "look within."

Read Emerson's "Self-Reliance" and commit to memory the passage commencing, "Trust thyself! Every heart beats in unison with that iron string!" Also memorize and use this quatrain of Mrs. Helen Wilmans:-

He who dares assert the I,
May calmly wait,
While hurrying Fate
Meets his demands with sure supply!
