The agent offered each tenant two hundred dollars if he would vacate. Several families moved; three remained, including the woman. A month or two passed, and the agent again appeared. This time he said to the woman, “Will you break your lease for the sum of fifteen hundred dollars?” It flashed upon her, “Here comes the two thousand dollars.” She remembered having said to friends in the house, “We will all act together if anything more is said about leaving.” So her _lead_ was to consult her friends. These friends said: “Well, if they have offered you fifteen hundred they will certainly give two thousand.” So she received a check for two thousand dollars for giving up the apartment. It was certainly a remarkable working of the law, and the apparent injustice was merely opening the way for her demonstration. It proved that there is no loss, and when man takes his spiritual stand, he collects all that is his from this great Reservoir of Good. “I will restore to you the years the locusts have eaten.” The locusts are the doubts, fears, resentments and regrets of mortal thinking. These adverse thoughts, alone, rob man; for “No man gives to himself but himself, and no man takes away from himself, but himself.” Man is here to prove God and “to bear witness to the truth,” and he can only prove God by bringing plenty out of lack, and justice out of injustice. “Prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” PERFECT SELF-EXPRESSION or THE DIVINE DESIGN “No wind can drive my bark astray nor change the tide of destiny.” There is for each man, perfect self-expression. There is a place which he is to fill and no one else can fill, something which he is to do, which no one else can do; it is his destiny! This achievement is held, a perfect idea in Divine Mind, awaiting man’s recognition. As the imaging faculty is the creative faculty, it is necessary for man to see the idea, before it can manifest. So man’s highest demand is for the _Divine Design of his life_. He may not have the faintest conception of what it is, for there is, possibly, some marvelous talent, hidden deep within him. His demand should be: “_Infinite Spirit, open the way for the Divine Design of my life to manifest; let the genius within me now be released; let me see clearly the perfect plan._” The perfect plan includes health, wealth, love and perfect self-expression. This is the _square of life_, which brings perfect happiness. When one has made this demand, he may find great changes taking place in his life, for nearly every man has wandered far from the Divine Design. I know, in one woman’s case, it was as though a cyclone had struck her affairs, but readjustments came quickly, and new and wonderful conditions took the place of old ones.
