A DAILY MESSAGE
DIG ! lOvkhy human being has a mind within. Every human being came into life holding a miner’s right. The Warden of Life has staked out your claim for you. Yet many of us go through life and never mine one ounce of the precious metal within us. Some of us ••cratch the face of the mine within, bring up the surface gold; but the priceless ore, which lies deeper diAvn, we rarely bring fo the surface. Others live and die in ignorance even of the fact that each of us has a mine of precious metal within him; that each of us has a. miner’s right, which cannot bo sold or transferred ; that nobody can work our claim but ourselves, and that, if we don’t work it, its wealth is never produced. . Thousands leave vast unexplored assets of great wealth in their own mine, iinmined, while they Hit on to their neighbour’s claim—sometimes to' hinder him in bis digging, sometimes to help him. But why spend your precious time developing somebody else’s claim while the wealth of your own remains unlocked? Would you attempt to run your neighbour’?! business while your own was tottering on the verge of ruin? Stay on your own claim. Don’t bo a flitter or a quitter. Stay and dig. The ore lies deep, but not too deep for the digger. He can bring it up with increasing returns for every stroke of the pick. It is no use possessing the richest mine in the world, unless you dig. Develop your own claim. Bring up the ore. The world needs it. Bring up the gold of your own great mine within. Bring up the beauty, the power, the genius which, lies in embryo within you. —M. PRESTON STANLEY.
