A PROPHECY OF RESULTS FROM THESE LESSONS (ro-hecies 1ase/ on o1ser0ation an/ e74 -erience2 an/ 3nowle/ge of natural law2 are e7cee/ingl5 instructi0e an/ 0alua1le. $e -re/ict ost confi/entl5 that e0er5 stu/ent of these lessons will ha0e after rea/ing the an/ es-eciall5 after their re4rea/ing an/ stu/5 a larger store of inforation on the su1:ect of uccess in Life2 1righter ho-es2 ore enthusias2 ore "0i2" "grit" an/ "gu-tion" in 1usiness2 an/ will at4 tac3 his life wor3 with such enlarge/ wis4 /o an/ such intense energ5 that hereafter his life will 1ecoe in e0er5 wa5 ore suc4 cessful an/ 1ring hi into larger free/o2 greater ha--iness an/ -ower an/ a-ler resources financiall5. In short2 no one can a--l5 a --l5 the teachings of these lessons without his life 1ecoing larger2 no1ler an/ -urer2 an/ ore en:o54 a1le in the -ossession of ental an/ ater4 ial wealth. An/ the life that recei0es an/ a--lies these teachings will 1e li3e a fertil4 i8ing strea in the /esert2 a3ing it 1u/ an/ 1losso li3e the rose.
THE REASONS FOR THIS PROPHECY $ith a1solute confi/ence I a3e this -ro-hec52 1ecause I shall gi0e 5ou not theories2 s-un fro the iagination of the ;

NO SPECIAL ENDOWMENT REQUIRED FOR MONEY- MAKING The wa5 to co-etence2 if not wealth2 is o-en to e0er5 an of soun/ 1o/5 an/ in/ who will stu/5 an/ a--l5 these laws. The fact that great riches 1elong to the few2 an/ that soe en see to stu1le on riches an/ others see3 the in 0ain for a life tie generall5 without 3nowle/ge of the law or a--lication in the life has le/ soe to su--ose that a s-ecial en/owent of nature is necessar5 to ena1le one to attain wealth. )ou1tless a few en without a theoretical 3nowle/ge of the law ha0e a--lie/ it in their li0es2 an/ un6uestiona1l5 soe few en see to coe into wealth 15 "chance" or "luc32" 5et there is reall5 no such thing as chance in a uni0erse of law an/ the 0ast a:orit5 of en who ha0e won wealth ha0e either through their own entalit52 or 15 the teachings of others2 or 15 ins-iration2 coe to 3now the law an/ a--l5 it in their own li0es. E0er5 an of soun/ in/ an/ 1o/52 we re-eat2 can 1ecoe aster of con/itions in his life in -lace of 1eing ensla0e/2 as the ultitu/es are2 15 these con/itions. There
is a -athwa5 fro -o0ert5 to wealth2 fro o1scurit5 to fae2 fro wea3ness to strength2 fro the ser0ile an/ -ig5 con/i4 tion of in/ an/ life2 to Kingshi- in in/ an/ in estate. The /oor of o--ortunit5 is o-en or2 at least2 unloc3e/.
NATURE PLANS ABUNDANCE FOR ALL Another intro/uctor5 consi/eration worth5 our attention is the fact that the e0i/ent -lan of Go/ as re0eale/ in nature is a1un/ance for all. (o0ert5 is no -art of nature Nature /esigne/ a1un/ance for all. Her -ro0ision for an

The worl/ sa/ to state estiates a an not 15 his 3nowle/ge2 or his character2 0?so uch as 15 the si8e of his 1an3 account. A -u1lic lecturer sai/ recentl5 in 5 hear4 ing an/ was a--lau/e/ in sa5ing it he res-ecte/ no an who /i/ not ha0e a goo/ 1an3 account. Harsh as this a5 a--ear2 we shall show there is at least a sall easure of :ustice in it 15 -ointing out that (o0ert5 is essen4 tiall5 a Mental )isease2 an/ that fro the stan/-oint of character itself in this age of gol/en o--ortunities it is no cre/it to a an to 1e -oor. ,
OUR DESIRES ARE PROPHECIES AND SHOW THE POSSIBILITY OF WEALTH All stu/ents of nature an/ of an recog4 ni8e that the -ossession of a /esire within the soul for an5 real or su--ose/ goo/2 is a natural -ro-hec5 -ro0ing there is soe4 where in Nature
EVERY MAN'S DUTY TO MAKE ALL THE MONEY HE CAN HONESTLY At first sight it ight see that inheri4 tors of great wealth ha0ing no nee/ of ore one5 an/ no lo0e of 1usiness or la4 1or ight 1e e7cuse/ fro the tas3 of one5 a3ing. Not so2 howe0er. E0er5 an who en:o5s the a/0antages of our won4 /erful ci0ili8ation2 who eats the foo/ soe toiler has grown2 or wears the garents soe toiler has a/e2 who en:o5s the -ro4 tection which is freel5 grante/ to all2 owes a -ersonal /e1t to the worl/. )es-ite his large 1an3 account an/ 1roa/ acres he is 1ut a refine/ "-au-er" if in soe wa5 he /oes not a// to the wealth of the worl/. An/ no an has enough wealth to su--l52 not onl5 his own nee/2 1ut to full5 eet the clais of a worl/ in sic3ness2 suffering an/ sorrow2 an/ to -lan an/ -rosecute the great li0ing refors of this age. A an shoul/ /ean/ of hiself2 of so4 cient52 of his Go/2 a1un/ance of te-oral goo/. The strea of a1un/ance shoul/ flow with increasing 0olue into his life2 an/ the strea of 1eneficence shoul/ flow with e6ual free/o out of his heart an/ life2 to su--l5 the higher nee/s of huanit5. "%reel5 recei0e freel5 gi0e." The i/eal life is the one in which a li1eral 3ingl5 in4 *B

ent2 -ower an/ usefulness without wealth.
IS THERE GREAT DANGER IN ACQUIRING WEALTH? !n/ou1te/l5 1ut greater /angers still in the lac3 of wealth. The one great /anger in ac6uiring one5 an/ in -ossessing it2 is the /anger of 1ecoing a sla0e to gol/. This is one of the 0ilest fors of sla0er5 an/2 -erha-s2 no other for of i/olatr5 is 6uite so 1enu1ing to all the higher an/ /i0iner 6ualities of anhoo/ as a0arice. The iser is of all characters ost /es-ise/ an/ illustrates the truth of the ol/ -ro0er1 "Mone5 is a goo/ ser0ant 1ut a har/ as4 ter." No other t5-e of character e7hi1its such unreasoning foll5 an/ sees so full5 to erit the re1u3e> "Thou %ool." The one safeguar/ in the ac6uisition of wealth is the constant2 unreitting culti0ation of the huan s5-athies an/ the e7ercise of 1ene0olence. $ithout this2 the ac6uisition of one5 is generall5 atten/e/ 15 a free84 ing u- of the oral nature an/ a growing lo0e for one5 for -urel5 selfish -ur-oses2 or for one5

This is an uns-ea3a1le calait5 to ulti4 tu/es of en who 1ecoe ensla0e/ not 15 one52 1ut 15 the lo0e of one52 an/ iss the gran/est o--ortunit5 of a life /owere/

Life -rocee/s as a strea fro the "with4 in" to the "without2" fro the ental an/ s-iritual to the -h5sical an/ aterial e74 -ressions. $e ust therefore create wealth in the in/ 1efore we reali8e its -ossession in the life.

These consi/erations are not inci/ental2 or accessor52 1ut 0ital an/ fun/aental to the su1:ect.
