to earn a living. . Jf course, that thing, too, that we have but one way,
beats America a lung way, because! because as sini|de as it is, there are
in this country there is but one way, many who miss that one.

THING
God created every man and woman for a pur|Misr. You may think
that your simple efforts may not l»e worth while, but who can say what
they may amount to in time? Influence gies far and often lingers as
long as life itself. Little did the mother of Kdgar Allen I'oe know what
her influence would mean to her sorj. In Tkr Ruhwond Inquirer.,, for
November 29, 1811, appeared this advertisement:
"To TTIK HI MASH HKAKT: Un this night Mrs. I'oe, ling
ering on the l>ed of disease, and surrounded by her children,
asks your assistance; and asks it perhaps for the last time.
The geneHSftv uf a Rlclliivond audience can need no other ap
peal."
This was the mother of that strange and unhappy man whose poems
somehow reach down to the deepest chamljer of the human heart. When
I'oe died, he had very few friends. I'he world knew little of him then.
But, now, in the Hall of Fame in New York City may be found his bust.
He was one of the greatest genuises the world has ever known. The
man has long since gone, but his works will live.
You, too, may |>ass through life without much notice, but you may
leave behind something that will help others to "carry on" when the day
is very dark.
Poverty is not a thing. It is merely a lack of supply. Connect up
with supply and the poverty vanishes. To look upon poverty and sick
ness as sent by God, and therefore inevitable, is the way of the weak
ling. God never sent us anything but good. What is more, He has
never yet failed to give those who would use them the means to over
come any conditions not of his making. Sickness and poverty are not
of His making and they are not evidences of virtue, but of weakness.
God gave us everything in abundance, and He expects us to manifest
that abundance. If you had a son you loved very much and you sur
rounded him with good things yvhich he had only to exert himself in
order to reach, you wouldn't like it if he showed himself to the world
half-starved, ill-kempt, and clothed in rags, merely because he was un
willing to exert himself enough to reach for the good things you had
provided. No more, in my humble opinion, does God.
Man'* principal business in life, as I see it, is to establish a con
tact with Universal Mind. It is to acquire an understanding of this
power that is in Aim. "With all thy getting, get understanding/' said
Solomon.
Having that, nothing eke is necessary, for through it aH other things
will be added unto you. It will solve any problem that caa arise in
