MAN EXISTS BY EXERCISE OF

POSITIVE QUALITIES.

"Man does not exist at all except by the exercise of his positive qualities."

WHAT is the difference between will and wilfulness, for they are often mistaken one for the other? Will is divine or spiritual, and through its cultivation, or rather realization, we come into poise. Wilfulness belongs to the personal self and means lack of poise and brings us into inharmony.

Obstinacy is often mistaken for will.

Wilfulness is self-assertive but not positive. Will is a positive quality but not self-assertive. To be positive does not mean to bristle like a porcupine, fearing you will yield to some one or to something.

The lack of confidence in the will

makes you affirm that you are using your will, whereas the divine activity of will is unconscious as is our breathing when we are normal.

A young woman, whose body was paralyzed below her neck, learned to use her tongue instead of her hands. She threaded a needle, did fancy work, and a little painting in water colors, all crude work to be sure, but it showed not only intellect but will, and she became the chief support of her family.

Will relates us to all higher powers, all positive powers.

We unfold the spiritual man through will.

As we exercise our positive qualities we see development.

When we think these truths and live these truths we see the truth in ali things and see through all falsity and illusion.

People think it wonderful to understand people easily, seeing beyond the appearance. It is only a clear seeing which comes from "concentrated will."

Begin to will to-day. Will at this particular moment.

A good orator is one so filled with his subject that he forgets himself. His will is not centred on himself and whether he will make a good impression or make his gesture correctly, but it is centred on his
