can be done? Remember that faith is as important as the letter. It has been my experience that this line of attack brings harmonious results without fail. Does mortal mind ever nag at you with this question, what if something does go wrong, is my prayer a failure? Not for a minute! It is only the human mind which arranges specific trials and troubles. Recognize it at once for a false belief and start anew. Error never really gains any ground or robs you of progress. Why, even if death seemed to fasten itself on me I wouldn't bemoan the fact that I hadn't been able to demonstrate Life. [whack?] no, I'd attack it as a false belief and victory would come my way. Possibly, you won't know what I am talking about, or maybe you won't agree. In any event stick to your books as best you can, be of good courage, and you can't lose. One more thing, don't try to get too fancy in your prayer. There will be times when you know a truth so absolutely that it doesn't even permit a word articulation in your thought. That is, you just know completely that you can do a thing because, God is All-in-all; nothing more. When you understand a problem that way, you are on the beam. If the results seem a little slow just be patient, hang on, love more, be more grateful.
