Show A Rule of Life. (Dr. G. F. Butler, in Chicago Journal.) Most of your fears, your doubts, your wavering opinions are absurd and powerless pow-erless for harm and can and should be calmly dismissed. When you realize the possibilities of your soul you will require poise, self-possession, calm decision, and perfect peace. We should strive to maintain this inward repose, to regain it when we lose it, in a word, to constantly con-stantly cultivate calmness and self-possession. Remember that power is within; with-in; there is a wellspring of guidance and inspiration in your own soul which will enable you to meet unmoved any experience, ex-perience, in quiet trust and perfect faith. Tou can if you try rise superior to moods, troubles, and illnesses if you will remember that "every event has an adequate ad-equate cause, that action and reaction are equal, that experience depends on our attitude toward it, and that with a change of mind, a new directing of the will, the forces of our being are brought round to correspond"; this knowledge will give us poise and make us masters. |
