THE DAILY MESSAGE

YOU ARE A MAGNET ! You are a human magnet, attracting the things and conditions with which you are in affinity as surely as if you that little piece of metal which is known as a steel magnet. The steel magnet will attract only those things which are like itself. The human magnet is governed by the same law. The steel magnet attracts only the products of iron ore. Apply it to wood, rubber, copper, bone —it is demagnetized. The human magnet attracts thing which are like itself,.and no others. It is the law ! Apply it to things unlike itself; it is de-magnetized. The steel magnet derives its peculiar power from the laws of the universe. These same universal laws apply with the same force to the human magnet, and you alone have the ]mwer to give your magnet its quality. Charge it with earnestness, enthusiasm, helpfulness, friendliness, bigness truth, and courage, and you will become a magnetic centre of attraction, drawing the affinities rtf these qualities to you, in abundant and ever-increas-ing fullness.

Charge it with hate, fear, envy, jealousy, suspicion, and littleness, and you will draw to you the affinities of this black and ugly brood—more hateful hate, more fearful fear, and more envious envy will come to live with you, and these dark forces will weave their evil magic into the fabric of your being for your magnet cannot pull true and beautiful things to you if you have demagnetized it to attract only the ugly, destructive, and bad. It is the law ! —M. PRESTON STANLEY.
