ucate yourself for a charming old age. There is no time to lose. Dividends Our thoughts are shaping unmade spheres, And, like a blessing or a curse, They thunder down the formless years And ring throughout the universe. The more we realize the tremendous responsibility of our mental emanations the better for the world and ourselves. The sooner we teach little children what a mighty truth lies in the Bible phrase "As a man thinketh, so is he," the better for future generations. If a man thinks sickness, poverty and misfortune, he will meet them and claim them all eventually as his own. But he will not acknowledge the close relationship, he will deny his own children and declare they were sent to him by an evil fate. Walter Atkinson tells us that "he who hates is an assassin." Every kindergarten and public school teacher ought to embody this idea in the daily lessons for children.

It may be a little late in reaching us, but it is sure to come back to the Mind which sent forth the cause. Every time we entertain thoughts of love, sympathy, forgiveness and faith we add to the well-being of the world, and create fortunate and successful conditions for ourselves. Those, too, may be late in coming to us--BUT THEY WILL COME. Right thinking is not attained in a day or a week. We must train the mind to reject the brood of despondent, resentful, fearful and prejudiced thoughts which approach it, and to invite and entertain cheerful, broad and wholesome thoughts instead, just as we overcome false tones and cultivate musical ones in educating the voice for singing. When we once realize that by driving away pess
