Jesus. He became 1IIy possibility. Till then He wasmerely an historical character. Now He and I wereone, as God and He, and God and I are one.Thenceforth I had a definite ideal. It was-To let theIndwelling Ood have expression through me. To givemy Real Self liberty. I had held over myself constant-lya fear of possible wrong-doing. I affirmed :-Hencc-jortJr I'll trllst IIlxself. I'll do that which I desire and doit in the wav conscience and reasotl tells me is best; illil'ays J have'learned and shollid learn is best by experi-ence. Have I followed this Ideal? Yes, 'Tve worke,1at it." Sometimes near, sometimes far off, but neverhave I lost sght of it. "Beyond the clouds the sun isshining!" I always thought of the shining, andored to forget the clouds. Now, after nearly 50 yearsexperience, I can announce that Emerson's statement isTruth and is worthy of acceptance as the one rule of lif,··Take the affirmation "The Absolutel\' Trust,('orthyd"'flls ill Illy heart, works in 1IIy llands, and pred?1II,i-"atfs all Illy beillg." I have perfect trust in myselt; mthe rectitude of my motives, and in the rightness ofconduct, when judged by the Voice of theas made conscious to me in Reason a11(1 in Conscience.L'pon this Principle as foundation we can build a sureIdeal.. He ye likewise perfect!" is Jesus' Ideal for us. Someauthor has said:

"Ever there dwells within the soulA model perfect an,l whole,

\rith this consciousness you will hold neither man, con-ditions nor nature responsible for any experience. Youwill accept whatever comes as opportunity through over-coming, and through use, to learn more .of your self asPower that Calf. You will use conditions and opportu-nities as your experience teaches you is the best at thetime.With this consciousness of personal responsibility to theSelf, and through Self to the Universe, YOU will for theiirst time be able to build an ideal of POWER TO BEWH.\T YOC WILL TO BE. What YOU desre as Lifeto express. Affirm of yourself this :"":'1 am respollsiblefor /11.1' e7,'ery expression. If I do not direct I am respon-sible for the neglecl. If I do IlOt direct, I allow it.

You will not deprive yourself of yo,urbirthright of freedom by bowing to any other authontythan the Indwelling. You will allow life to press outonly in the channels of choice-I CHOOSE! will beyour onll' cause for doing. .\\ hen one thus consciously builds his ideal an<!ently holds it before him 1000.'illglv, then failure IS unpos-sible. .Love is essential. "Love thy neighbor as thyself" is theLaw of Success. Love is the universal Life transformedinto human Power. Love is the power that sways hu-man conduct. How much love art thou? is the funda-mental question. Absence of love is distrust, misunder-st,anr\inl(', dislike and hate. These are all negative

and win nothing. "Love and thouIS nature's law. In loving thyself as a malllfestatlO.n ofInfinity lies self-respect and self-mastery. In your Idealinclude Love as the human side of the Power you are.Trust yourself as Love and win. . h IIWhen 'this consciousness of want, which is acrystallize into a clear and definite ideal. and IS hel. asa Present Realitv, you will have reached the conSCIOUS-ness which led Henley to affirm:
