And I looked for the cause. I looked around, but could not find it ; I looked in books, but could not find it ; I looked within, and found there both the cause and the self-made nature of that cause. I looked again, and deeper, and found the remedy.

I found one Law, the Law of Love ; one Life, the Life of adjustment to that Law; one Truth, the Truth of a conquered mind and a quiet and obedient heart. And I dreamed of writing a book which should help men and women, whether rich or poor, learned or un- learned, worldly or unworldly, to find within themselves the source of all success, all happiness, all accomplishment, all truth.

And the dream remained with me, and at last became substantial ; and now I send it forth into the world on its mission of healing and blessedness, knowing that it cannot fail to reach the homes and hearts of those who are waiting and ready to receive it.

THE PATH OF PROSPERITY THE LESSON OF EVIL Unrest and pain and sorrow are the sh of life. There is no heart in all the world tha$ has not felt the sting of pain, no mind that not been tossed upon the dark waters of trouble, no eye that has not wept the hot, blinding tears of unspeakable anguish.
