CHAPTER Page I. THE MAN AND THE OPPORTUNITY . 5 Don't wait for your opportunity : make it. II. Boys WITH NO CHANCE . 25 Necessity is the priceless spur. II. AN IRON WILL. 55 Give a youth resolution and the alphabet, and who shall place limits to his career? IV. POSSIBILITIES IN SPARE MOMENTS . 63 If in a genius like Gladstone carries through life a book his pocket, lest an unexpected spare moment slip from his grasp, what should we of common abilities not resort to, to save the precious moments from oblivion ? V. ROUND BOYS IN SQUARE HOLES . 74 Man is doomed to perpetual inferiority and disappointment if out of his place, and gets his living by his weakness instead of by his strength. VI. WHAT CAREER? . 89 Your talent is your call. " What can you do? " is the interrogation of the century. Better adorn your own than seek another's place. VII. CONCENTRATED ENERGY . 106 One unwavering aim. Don't dally with your purpose. Not many things indifferently, but one thing supremely. VIII. ON TIME," OR THE TRIUMPH of PROMPTNESS . 121 Don't brood over the past or dream of the future; but seize the instant, and get your lesson from the hour IX. CHEERFULNESS AND LONGEVITY . 133 You must take joy with you, or you will not find it even in heaven. X. A FORTUNE IN GOOD MANNERS . 148 The good-mannered can do without riches: all doors fly open to them, and they enter everywhere without money and without price. XI. THE TRIUMPHS of ENTHUSIASM . 170 " What are hardships, ridicule, persecution, toil, sickness, to a soul throbbing with an overmastering enthusiasm?" XII. TACT OR COMMON SENSE . 187 Talent is no match for tact ; we see its failure everywhere. In the race of life, common sense has the right of way. CONTENTS. CHAPTER Page XIII. SELF-RESPECT AND SELF-CONFIDENCE ..... 202 We stamp our own value upon ourselves, and cannot expect to pass for more. XIV. GREATER THAN WEALTH . 210 A man may make millions and be a failure still. He is the richest man who enriches mankind most XV. THE PRICE OF SUCCESS . 232 “Work or starve” is nature’s motto, it is written on the stars and the sod alike, - starve mentally, starve morally, starve physically. XVI. CHARACTER IS POWER . 250 Beside the character of a Washington the millions of many an American look contemptible. Character is success, and there is no other XVII. ENAMORED OF ACCURACY . 273 Twenty things half done do not make one thing well done. There is a great difference between going just right and a little wrong. XVIII. LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE IT . 292 We get out of life just what we put into it. The world has for us just what we have for it. XIX. THE VICTORY IN DEFEAT . ... 304 To know how to wring victory from our defeats, and make steppingstones of our stumbling-blocks, is the secret of success. XX. NERVE-GRIT, GRIP, PLUCK. 318 There is something grand and inspiring in a young man who fails squarely after doing his level best, and then enters the contest a second and a third time with undaunted courage and re- doubled energy. XXI. THE REWARD OF PERSISTENCE . 337 "Mere genius darts, flutters, and tires; but perseverance wears and wins." XXII. A LONG LIFE, AND HOW TO REACH IT. 356 The first requisite to success is to be a first-class animal. Even the greatest industry cannot amount to much, if a feeble body does not respond to the ambition. XXIII. BE BRIEF . 372 "Brevity is the soul of wit." Boil it down. XXIV ASPIRATION . 375 A man cannot aspire if he looks down." Look upward, live upward. XXV. THE ARMY OF THE RESERVE . 389 We never can tell what is in a man until an emergency calls out his reserve, and he cannot call out an ounce more than has been stored up. LIST OF PORTRAITS.

The author's excuse for one more postponement of the end " of making many books " can be briefly, given. He early determined that if it should ever lie in his power, he would write a book to encourage, inspire, and stimulate boys and girls who long to be somebody and do something in the world, but feel that they have no chance in life. Among hundreds of American and English books for the young, claiming to give the "secret of success," he found but few which satisfy the cravings of youth, hungry for stories of successful lives, and eager for every hint and every bit of information which may help them to make their way in the world. He believed that the power of an ideal book for youth should lie in its richness of concrete examples, as the basis and inspiration of character-building; in its uplifting, energizing, suggestive force, more than in its arguments; that it should be free from materialism, on the one hand, and from cant on the other; and that it should abound in stirring examples of men and women who have brought things to pass. To the preparation of such a book he had devoted all his spare moments for ten years, when a fire destroyed all his manuscript and notes. The memory of some of the lost illustrations of difficulties overcome stimulated to another attempt; so once more the gleanings of odd bits of time for years have been arranged in the following pages. The author's aim has been to spur the perplexed youth to act the Columbus to his own undiscovered possibilities; to urge him not to brood over the past, nor dream of the future, but to get his lesson from the hour; to encourage him to make every occasion a great occasion, for he cannot tell when fate may take his measure for a higher place; to show him that he must not wait for his IV PREFACE. opportunity, but make it; to tell the round boy how he may get out of the square hole, into which he has been wedged by circumstances or mistakes; to help him to find his right place in life; to teach the hesitating youth that in a land where shoemakers and farmers sit in Congress no limit can be placed to the career of a determined youth who has once learned the alphabet. The standard of the book is not measured in gold, but in growth; not in position, but in personal power; not in capital, but in character. It shows that a great checkbook can never make a great man; that beside the character of a Washington, the millions of a Croesus look contemptible; that a man may be rich without money, and may succeed though he does not become President or member of Congress; that he who would grasp the key to power must be greater than his calling, and resist the vulgar prosperity that retrogrades toward barbarism; that there is something greater than wealth, grander than fame; that character is success, and there is no other.

  • A History of the New Thought Movement
    RY OF THE r-lT MOVEMEN1 DRESSER I Presented to the LIBRARY of the UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO by Victoria College A HISTORY OF THE NEW THOUGHT MOVEMENT BY HORATIO W. DRESSER AUTHOR OF "THE POWER OF SILENCE," * 'HANDBOOK OF THE NEW THOUGHT," "THE SPIRIT OF THE NEW THOUGHT," ETC. NEW YORK THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY PUBLISHERS JUL COPYRIGHT, 1919. BY THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY PREFACE FOR several years there has been a demand for a history of the liberal wing of the mental-healing movement known as the "New Thought." This demand is partly due to the fact that the move- ment is now well organized, with international headquarters in Washington, D. C., hence there is a desire to bring its leading principles together and see in their in to inter- them unity ; and part est in the pioneers out of whose practice the present methods and teachings have grown. The latter interest is particularly promising since the pioneers still have a message for us. Then, too, we are more interested in these days in trac- ing the connection between the ideas which con- cern us most and the new age out of which they have sprung. We realize more and more clearly that this is indeed a new age. Hence we are in- creasingly eager to interpret the tendencies of thought which express the age at its best. In order to meet this desire for a history of the New Thought, Mr. James A. Edgerton, president of the International New Thought Alliance, decided in 1916 to undertake the work.

    Pushing to the Front By Orison Swett Marden "The world makes way for the determined man." ----- Originally Published By The Success Company's Branch Offices PETERSBURG, N.Y. ---- TOLEDO ---- DANVILLE --- OKLAHOMA CITY ---- SAN JOSE COPYRIGHT, 1911, ----- Published In E-Book Format By Higher Bracket Online Media Inc. 2007 http://www.HigherBracket.ca ----- FOREWORD This revised and greatly enlarged edition of "Pushing to the Front" is the outgrowth of an almost world-wide demand for an extension of the idea which made the original small volume such an ambition-arousing, energizing, inspiring force. It is doubtful whether any other book, outside of the Bible, has been the turning- point in more lives. It has sent thousands of youths, with renewed determination, back to school or college, back to all sorts of vocations which they had abandoned in moments of discouragement. It has kept scores of business men from failure after they had given up all hope. It has helped multitudes of poor boys and girls to pay their way through college who had never thought a liberal education possible. The author has received thousands of letters from people in nearly all parts of the world telling how the book has aroused their ambition, changed their ideals and aims, and has spurred them to the successful undertaking of what they before had thought impossible. The book has been translated into many foreign languages. In Japan and several other countries it is used extensively in the public schools. Distinguished educators in many parts of the world have recommended its use in schools as a civilization-builder.

True How to Obtain Our Own 3 How To Obtain Our Own – Helen B. True SECTION I Serene I fold my hands and wait, Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea; I rave no more 'gainst time or fate, For lo! my own shall come to me. I stay my haste, I make delays, For what avails this eager pace? I stand amid the eternal ways, And what is mine shall know my face. Asleep, awake, by night or day, The friends I seek are seeking me; No wind can drive my bark astray, Nor change the tide of destiny. What matter if I stand alone? I wait with joy the coming years; My heart shall reap where it hath sown, And garner up its fruit of tears. The waters know their own, and draw The brook that springs in yonder heights; So flows the good with equal law Unto the soul of pure delights. The stars come nightly to the sky; The tidal wave unto the sea; Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high, Can keep my own away from me. —John Burroughs. 4 How To Obtain Our Own – Helen B. True HOW TO OBTAIN OUR OWN SECTION I John Burroughs has expressed that certainty, that knowledge which comes to the awakened soul, to the effect that there is a sure supply for all its needs—a fulfillment of its every requirement—a coming true of its every earnest dream—a realization of its every high ideal.

  • INTA Archives Research Guide for Elizabeth Towne
    INTA Archives Research Guide for Elizabeth Towne Elizabeth Towne (1865-1960) Elizabeth Towne created the metaphysics journal Nautilus in 1909 in Portland, Oregon. She moved to Holyoke in 1880 to marry William Elmer Towne, vice president and secretary of her company called the Elizabeth Towne Company, Inc., after her first marriage to Joseph Holt Struble ended. Towne was instrumental in creating the New Thought movement, which centered on the power of self-help, self-healing, and positive thinking. She believed that being a vegetarian, having strong Christian beliefs, and exercising on a daily basis would assure longevity and happiness. The magazine eventually had 90,000 subscribers and was circulated around the world. She was an international lecturer for the International New Thought Alliance and served on many prominent boards and clubs, including the Hampden County Women's Club of Western Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Federation of Women's Clubs, and the Business and Professional Women's Club. In 1912, she and her husband sat as delegates at the convention of 1916 as one of the three state committeewomen of the Progressive party in 1913 and also served on the board of directors of the Massachusetts Federation of Progressive women. She was the first woman alderman-at-large in December 1926 and the first woman to declare her candidacy for mayor of Holyoke in 1928. She was known as a pioneer of truth and inspiration for the citizens of Holyoke and internationally. (Courtesy of the Holyoke Public Library.) 1 INTA Archives Research Guide
