The one who is in earnest and persistently pursues this object should not weary in it. Incidents of more or less importance will present themselves from time to time through the whole course, which will show the amount of progress that has been made and the value of what has already been attained.

They will also show what is yet to be done and how to do it. It will be strange if occasions do not arise when the temptation to despair will be almost overwhelming, and success will seem almost impossible; but despair is one of the worst of discordant thoughts and must be dismissed instantly, regardless of its source or provocation.

There may also be incidents which seem like failures, but they may all be overcome and turned into successes. Let it be kept steadily in mind that "difficulties are only things to be overcome."

The old Chinese proverb says: "Remain careful to the end as in the beginning, and you will not fail in your enterprise."

"'I am only telling you,' said the Tinker,' what you could do if you tried. Kittles ain't so hard to mend if you keep on.'"

Unless we master this lesson, and act on it, the other lessons are virtually useless, and thus robbed of their essential glory. The only living end or aim of everything we experience, of every truth we are taught, is the practical use we make of it for the enrichment of the soul, the attuning of the thoughts and passions, the exaltation of life. . . . When we do what we know, then first does it put on vital lustre and become divinely precious."
