THE KEY TO SUCCESS.

The first thing to realise is that Success is positive, not negative. • It consists in doing, not in not doing; in creating, not in preserving; in attack, not in defence, writes Dr. Frank ■ Crane in an English exchange. In the battle of life, as _in any other kind of a fight, the main thing is to hit first and-hit hard. Success is a I resultant of force,- not of protection. There are two kinds of forces, inner and outer. The inner forces are of the body, of the mind, and of the feelings. The bodv forces are included in the term health. The brain constantly occupied with the forth-putting of strong formative plans has no room for the sickly and debilitating struggles against weakness and sin. The feelings, also, which are positive and creative, should be encouraged as opposed to those which are merely resistive. The strongest positivity of the soul is love. The more you can love, the more" you mean to th world. Fill your life , with love. ' Feed on it daily. Live in its atmosphere.' It is the ozone of supermen. Love of woman characterises forceful men. Love of children, of friends, of comrades, means you are vibrating with creative electric units. Add to these, love of your work, which is enthusiasm; love of play, which rejuvenates • potentiality; love of the beautiful, which opens you up to Nature's in-streaming forces; and love of the good and just and right, which attaches you to the Infinite, and makes ''the stars in their courses'' fighv for you. „ You must observe your proper prohibitions. You must -resist and sacrifice to a degree. But (he point is that to pddress one's self mainly to not-doing is the programme of the weak. The successful are too busy doing to waste time wrestling with temptations. Do! Think! Love! Create! Go! Fight! ' That way Success lies. .... ~v
