2.  If you would feel the truth of this you must come to your husband in faith-full love, and you must not allow yourself to condemn or judge, verbally or mentally, his revelations of himself.  You must vibrate with him where you can, and keep still in faith where you can’t understand him and meet him.

3.  You must persist in thus doing, until faith and love and understanding become the habit of your life.

4.  The same rules apply if you would feel your nearness to any other person, or to all persons.

Every man is in embryo a good and thoughtful and loving husband.  A wise wife will give him the loving, full-of-faith, appreciative atmosphere which encourages development.

“We are all just as good as we know how to be, and as bad as we dare be.” And we are all growing better.  Why not chant the beauties of the good instead of imagining it our “duty” to eternally bark against the bad?

It is said there cannot be a model husband without a model wife, and vice versa.  True.  Then if yours is not a model husband don’t assume that you are a model wife fitted to judge and admonish him.

Be still and get acquainted with him.

Make it your first object in life to cultivate a serene and faith-full heart and aura.

As a means toward this end cultivate a full appreciation of whatever and whoever comes near you.  Cultivate the spirit of praise; and trust where you cannot see.

Second, take good care of your body and personal appearance.  Allow plenty of time for bathing, caring for your hair, nails, teeth, and clothing.  Wear plain clothes if need be, but DON’T wear soiled or ragged ones.  And don’t ever put a pin where a hook or button ought to be.  No man can continue to love a woman who is slatternly.

Third, allow at least an hour every day for reading and meditating on new thought lines, and for going into the silence.  Let nothing rob you of this hour, for of it will come wisdom, love and power to meet the work and trials of all other hours.  Remember the parable of the ten virgins and take this hour for filling your lamp, that you be ready for the Unexpected.  Only in such hours can you lay up love, wisdom and power which will enable you to make the best of the other hours.  Let not outward things rob you of your source of power.

Fourth, unless you wish to fall behind the world’s procession see that you spend some time every day in reading the best magazines and newspapers, taking pains to skip most of the criminal news.  Read optimistically and cultivate a quick eye for all the good things.  Take the best magazines even if you have to leave feathers off your hat and desserts off your table.  If you can find an interesting literary club it might be well to join it and do your part of the work.  But see that you do not rob the Peter of your energies to pay the Paul of club ambitions.
