If I could give the young people of America but one word of advice, it
would be this--"_Believe in yourself with all your might._" That is,
believe that your destiny is inside of you, that there is a power within
you which, if awakened, aroused, developed, and matched with honest
effort, will not only make a noble man or woman of you, but will also
make you successful and happy.

All through the Bible we find emphasized the miracle-working power of
faith. Faith in himself indicates that a man has a glimpse of forces
within him which either annihilate the obstacles in the way, or make them
seem insignificant in comparison with his ability to overcome them.

Faith opens the door that enables us to look into the soul's limitless
possibilities and reveals such powers there, such unconquerable forces,
that we are not only encouraged to go on, but feel a great consciousness
of added power because we have touched omnipotence, and gotten a glimpse
of the great source of things.

Faith is that something within us which does not guess, but knows. It
knows because it sees what our coarser selves, our animal natures can not
see. It is the prophet within us, the divine messenger appointed to
accompany man through life to guide and direct and encourage him. It
gives him a glimpse of his possibilities to keep him from losing heart,
from quitting his upward life struggle.

Our faith knows because it sees what we can not see. It sees resources,
powers, potencies which our doubts and fears veil from us. Faith is
assured, is never afraid, because it sees the way out; sees the solution
of its problem. It has dipped in the realms of our finer life our higher
and diviner kingdom. All things are possible to him who has faith,
because faith sees, recognizes the power that means accomplishment. If
we had faith in God and in ourselves we could remove all mountains of
difficulty, and our lives would be one triumphal march to the goal of our
ambition.

If we had faith enough we could cure all our ills and accomplish the
maximum of our possibilities.

Faith never fails; it is a miracle worker. It looks beyond all
boundaries, transcends all limitations, penetrates all obstacles and sees
the goal.

It is doubt and fear, timidity and cowardice, that hold us down and keep
us in mediocrity--doing petty things when we are capable of sublime deeds.

If we had faith enough we should travel Godward infinitely fa
