I direct the expression, of the Infinite Power which I am!' This is to be your Thought as you enter the Silence. Then the Silence becomes to you the Holy of Holies; becomes the Altar of the Most High; the inner Sanctuary where is the Ark of the Covenant which God, the Absolute, has made in the Soul.

Therefore to the extent you are in Love with Beauty will you succeed as an artist. As much as you are in love with Goodness will you be happy. As much as you are in love with Truth you will be wise.

To love what you do, is to succeed in it. To love your life is to make it a success. To love your home is to make it a happy one. To love your business is to succeed. Providing, in all these cases you have first built a noble Ideal of all these, and Love that Ideal (which is your highest conception of God) with all your heart and soul."Son, give me thy heart!" success says to every man. From concentration where heart and intellect both join, comes the only success worth striving for-Happiness, Health and Supply.

Love begets Faith, and Faith begets enthusiasm; enthusiasm begets effort and effort begets success. Love is the beginning and the end of Life, and it continues a companion all the way.

Therefore the Genius of Success says to each: "Lovest thou me" and well for him who can truthfully say, "Lord! thou knowest that I love thee!" Then shall come the condition of proof, "Feed my sheep."

A noble Ideal is the only possible salvation, for that is the mould into which Love flows and materializes, and the Ideal determines our success or failure. That Ideal should be no less than perfect. "I the imperfect adore my own perfect, says Emerson, and Kant says. "The execution of his whole duty and the final reaching of the goal placed before him as a work, the command is here, 'Be ye perfect' The test of perfection is, that 'You love your neighbor as yourself'."
