became such an expert, that he gave up his busines and devoted his entire time to helping other people to do the same for themselves as he had done.
What this man did any one can do if he will follow the same course and refuse to become discouraged. There is a power that simply awaits our recognition of it, to spring into our thought as an unfailing leading, an unerring guidance. To those who lean on the ever outstretched arm of the Infinite, life is big with limitless possibilities.
We must wait and listen, then go about our outer business with an innver conviction that we are being led into a more perfect expression of life. All can do this
FOLLOWING UP A THOUGHT
WHEN we feel that we do have the right leading; when that something inside us tells us that we are led; then, no matter what it appears like, we must follow it up. Something beyond our intelligence is doing the thing through us and we must do nothing to contradict it.
Perhaps it will cause us to do something that seems to go contrary to the experience of the race. This makes no difference. All advance in invention and all advance along any line has always gone ahead of what the experience of the race thinks is possible.
Great men are ones who get a vision and then go to work to make it come true, never looking to one side but with one-pointedness and calm determination, to the thing until it is accomplished.
It may take much patience and a great deal of faith, but the end is as sure as is the reality of a Supreme Being itself.
