Success

in their search for opportunities and work they were not really hunting these, but were really hunting a nice soft snap, where they could draw a good salary and get all out of it they can and give nothing in return; they want to get three hours' pay for one hour's work; their employers soon discover it and above their exalted ego write the word "shirk." We get out of life what we put in it and the balance of success turns on the law of "with what measure ye mete, it shall be meted unto you." The personal, separate life loses its value as a friend and in time finds itself forgotten and counted out, for tolerance ceases to be a virtue when it forces friendship into personal service. These people fail just as surely in love. True it is that "love suffereth long and is kind, does not take offense, seeks to give of itself," but love must love, and after a while it will turn away just as naturally as the sunflower turns to the sun, and claim its own where it finds it. A sweet, true patient love is something to give and gain, but it is not worth the price of a soul paid down. Unless one gets a soul in exchange they will some day take it out of the grasp of the tyrant who is using it and put it back into the Divine life, to await the perfect answer to its call. Robbed at last of opportunities, privileges, friends, and love, "every tree that the Heavenly Father hath not planted is rooted up" and standing with the wreckage of their own storm around them, they are forced into the ditch and in failure and despair are ready to eat the crumbs that fall from the universal table. Here we find them and knowing the law we give them the key to their own selfmade condition and regeneration can begin. The law of selfness saves them and they come out into success and power: Stronger often, and more steadfast than those who have not paid so great a price for the higher knowing. No man lives to himself and no man dieth to himself! This is the great law of universality, selfness and success. The sooner we know this and merge our own life into the manifold interests of others, the more quickly our own desires will be manifested and things born of this law are ours forever. The personal success that comes to us through universal association with interest and helpfulness to others is a verity that time will only make more truly our own. We cannot push our personal desires through the very center of another's hopes and find lasting success. We cannot fling down the aspiration
