. People travel along the years up
the hill of life, till they reach a certain point where they begin to
THINK they must be growing old. Think its time to sag. Think its time
to droop. Think its time to begin the process of decay. Then begin to
talk about it. To write letters about it. To feel around for it. To
look for it in others. Finally the habit they inherited from the race
is on, and they are old. Life is endless, but you can think it short,
"The power of an endless life," is within you, but by thinking you can
turn it to the white ashes of old age. THINK YOUTH AND YOU STAY YOUNG.

=YOUTH IS GROWTH:= Keep growing and you keep young. A new idea
will make you feel younger. Develop it and it will develop you.
Quicken your mental throb with new ideas. Begin now. Stop talking
about being too old to grow. You pass by trees daily, a hundred, two
hundred years old, still they are growing. The rose bush on a wall in
China is supposed to be over a thousand years old, it bears more
roses now, than when it was a mere slip of a vine of only one hundred.
Gladstone at eighty-two was a growing statesman, and elected prime
minister of England for the fourth time. Cato at eighty began to study
Greek, and renewed the youth of his mind. Donald Davis is a growing
hunter at one hundred and three. Goddard Diamond was a growing teacher
of health, when he was one hundred and eleven. I know a bright, cheery
lady who is just beginning a new study for decorating china, along
with her household cares, and she is eighty-eight. Also another woman
who has taken up a new process of enlarging drawings into water-colors
and she is eighty-one years young. The fig tree withered when the
Master of Life found it not growing, producing, creating. When you
stop growing you will wither by the same law. Grow something, create
something, produce something and the law of youth will pervade your
Being.

=YOUTH IS OBSERVING THE LAW:= Observing the law of health, the
law of mind, the law of growth, the law of harmony, the law of
production, the law of expression, the law of beauty, the law of
selflessness. Keep your bodily forces up. Rebuild destroyed tissue.
Keep the system free of waste. Stop poisoning your body with anger,
hate, jealousy, fear. Keep your mind sweet. Think cheerfully. Avoid
mental turmoil and excitement. Two great enemies of youth are worry
and fear. The next is selfishness. Think every morning when you
rise--"This new day is new life. It
