Law Of Attraction

TIETH SUCCESS METHOD COMPENSATION "I am so weary of toil and tears; Toil without recompense, tears all in vain." Do you know that this is the cry all over the world? No matter how much anyone may appear to have, no matter where they stand in name and place, deep in almost every heart there is this cry of loss and tears, this story of bread cast upon the waters which has not returned. "Give to the world the best you have and the world will give back to you" has not been made good in every life according to its own story. Most of us know those who have spent their lives in loving service, yet something which they cannot understand and over which they have no control, deals out to them blow after blow until at the end of life they lie down to die with no pay for any effort of their lives. They gave to the world the best they had, yet, viewed from their confined paths, the world never repaid them for their giving. Then there is another class whose lives seem to be peculiarly free from suffering, and who seem to have the things they want without putting forth any effort to secure them. They live their lives care free; they never give of their store nor of themselves; they lie down to die with a calm unruffled peace, showing no fear of the past and no concern of the future. They have hoped nothing, feared nothing, given nothing, and they go back as ashes to ashes, and dust to dust. There is yet another class who give and receive, whose lives are beautiful, whose ways are "ways of pleasantness, and all their paths are peace"; their lives are one long round of loving service, a giving and receiving which has had no beginning and no end, but always is. What makes the difference? Is it true that there is toil without recompense? Do we sow where we can never hope to gather? New Thought says no. It cannot be: It is an unwritten law that desire is the prophecy of its fulfillment; the law never takes one thing away but something is given in return. There is no such thing as wasted effort. It has been written "with what measure ye mete it shall be meted unto you." The answer to this great loss and gain is within our own being. We always get what we concentrate for, and the conditions around us are the objective answers to our own prayers. Arnold says: "Ye suffer from yourselves; none other binds ye that ye weep and die." A life that pledges itself to a certain action, a certain development, gets that thing and all the other things which go with it, of which they
