The law of financial success

"The law of Financial Success!" To some .this title may appear presumptuous, and indicative of an overweening vanity on the part of a writer who wishes to impress upon the world the belief that his ideas and opinions regarding the subject of Financial Success are of such transcendent value as to be worthy of the appellation of "The law"

' Patience, patience, good friends, the author has no such sumptuous conceit — no such vainglory. He is not attempting to frame a law, nor seeking to impose upon the world a set code of conduct, emanating from his finite mind, and claiming for it the authority of law.

Nay, nay, he has learned to smile at such exhibitions of folly on the part of some so-called thinkers of our times and begs to be absolved from the suspicion of such childish desire or intent. He does not wish to pose as the formulator, dis- coverer, or enunciator of a new Law.

There is no such thing in Nature as blind chance, accident, or uncaused lack. Everything in Nature operates in accordance with Law.

Law underlies everything. You may doubt this, but stop a moment and try to think of anything in our finite world that is not the effect of some cause.

A great stone is dislodged and rolls down the mountainside, striking a tree which it uproots and sends rolling down into stream which is dammed up, causing a flood that sweeps away a fertile field, and so on, and on, effect succeeding effect.

Was all this mere blind chance? Not at all. The stone was dislodged in response to the operation of causes that had been at work for centuries disintegrating the stone, and which caused the boulder to become dislodged exactly at the moment when the inherent power of the Cause reached that particular stage.
