NOR DOES A PURE MINDED MAN FALL SUDDENLY INTO CRIME BY STRESS OF ANY MERE EXTERNAL FORCE THE CRIMINAL THOUGHT HAD LONG BEEN SECRETLY FOSTERED IN HIS HEART AND THE HOUR OF OPPORTUNITY REVEALED ITS GATHERED POWER
d to fall into the mind, and to take root there, produces its own, blossoming sooner or later into act, and bearing its own fruitage of opportunity and circumstance. Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bad fruit. The outer world of circumstance shapes itself to the inner world of thought, and both pleasant and unpleasant external conditions are factors, which make for the ultimate good of the individual. As the reaper of his own harvest, man learns both by suffering and bliss. Following the inmost desires, aspirations, thoughts, by which he allows himself to be dominated, (pursuing the will-o'-the-wisps of impure imaginings or steadfastly walking the highway of strong and high endeavour), a man at last arrives at their fruition and fulfilment in the outer conditions of his life. The laws of growth and adjustment everywhere obtains. A man does not come to the almshouse or the jail by the tyranny of fate or circumstance, but by the pathway of grovelling thoughts and base desires.
