The Message of a Master

John Mcdonald

15 Chapters

Surely some miraculous change had taken

place in him. His countenance allowed with

 health and vitality and his calm,

poised bearing inspired wonderful

admiration and confidence. But while I felt

perfectly at ease in his company, I also felt

the force of some presence in him that

I could neither understand nor

describe. Whatever it was, it had the effect

of putting one at ease and yet had the tendency

 to command respect for something one did

not understand. While I felt greatly relieved

after the excitement of the previous day,

yet I found difficulty in concealing the emotions

 that surged up within me, for I felt satisfied

 and convinced that he had something that

I sorely needed and I had the strangest fear

 lest something might occur even then

to prevent my getting it.

The Magic Story

Frederick Van Rensselaer Day

"Tomorrow my new career

begins. Within a month I shall have a

bank account. Why? Because I have

discovered the secret of success." "Yes,"

he continued, when I did not reply,

"my fortune is made. I have been reading

a strange story, and since reading it, I feel

 that my fortune is assured. It will make

. Nothing is impossible after you know that

 story. It makes everything as plain as

A, B, C. The very instant you grasp its true

meaning, success is certain. This morning

I was a hopeless, aimless bit of garbage

 in the metropolitan ash can; tonight

 I wouldn't change places with a millionaire.

That sounds foolish, but it is true.

The millionaire has spent his enthusiasm;

mine is all at hand."
