A DAILY MESSAGE

RIGHT THINKING In my mail this morning came a letter containing the following request: “Will von please define ‘Right Thinking’ in a practical form in one of your Daily .Messages? ” 'l‘o go right to the point: Right thinking is thinking right; and thinking right is thinking in such a way as.will most surely help us to become what we aspire to he. Right thinking in this elementary and general sense is—thinking positive instead of negative thoughts. ft moans entertaining thoughts of good instead of evil—success instead of failure—plenty instead of poverty—health instead of sickness—love instead of hate—hope instead of fear —victory instead of defeat—and so on. One who does so consciously directs hjs thought becomes inwardly changed, because the cells of liis body, being intelligent, build as his thoughts direct. Such an inward change brings a change in his actions—and these in turn change his circumstances and his life. Thus are the words of the old Book made true: l!e ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” _M. PRESTON STANLEY
