AS A MAN THINKETH By James Allen
(no copyright)
"Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes,
And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes
The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills:--
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:
Environment is but his looking-glass."

F O R E W O R D
This little volume (the result of meditation and experience)
is not intendedas an exhaustive treatise on the much-written-
upon subject of the power of thought. It is suggestive rather
than explanatory, its object being to stimulate men and women
to the discovery of perception of the truth that--
"They themselves are makers of themselves."
by virtue of the thoughts which they choose and encourage;
that mind is the master weaver, both of the inner garment
of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that,
as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they
may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.
