together with the power of Divinity are equal to 

 every emergency and the complete reformation of 

 any erring soul. 



The law of denial, so strongly advocated by 

 many psychologists, is in my judgment of much 

 less value, than it is generally considered to be. 

 To deny a thing requires a recognition and con- 

 sideration of the thing to be denied; this repro- 

 duces the evil image in the soul, and thereby be- 

 comes absolutely harmful instead of helpful. 

 The better way is simply ft) ignore, neither affirm- 

 ing nor denying the evil or temptation. To do 

 this all that is necessary is to keep the mind and 

 soul thoroughly occupied with something else. 

 "Nature abhors a vacuum;" this statement is as 

 true in psychics as in physics. If we do not fill 

 our minds they will be filled with thoughts and 

 suggestions from the outer world. If a man keep 

 his mind continually occupied with that whicH is 

 useful and helpful he may be continually sur- 

 rounded by vice, yet it can not harm him. 



In the control of abnormal propensities and the 

 regulation of conduct three things are essential : 

 ( i ) Hygienic living, that the blood may be kept 

 Great Essentials. pure an( j t h e ^ ra j n nor mal. (2) Proper sugges- 

 tions and mental images, so that the evil stimuli 

 may be counteracted by established virtues and a 

 firm will. (3) Recognition of the soul's oneness 

 with God and the acceptance of the Holy Spirit 

 as the perfecter of man. 



In all lines of training whether in the gym-

 * patience and faithfulness are absolutely essential 

 to success. Sudden changes are never normal,
