To the Reader
This essay upon the Dollar appeared in NOW as one of a series of twelve lessons entitled, "Success and how I won it through Affirmation." It attracted much attention and drew out from its readers many letters. This appreciation has decided "NOW Folk to reprint it in form for a wider circulation. This will conserve the purpose for which it was written. I wish to awaken my fellows to a sense of their present possessions and help them to a realization of the Principle which controls Life's expression so that, living being to them "a fine art." they will cease to look for happiness in some far-off heaven, but will enter into the enjoyment of the one they create here and now. It is believed that this little monograph is the first utterance of the thought that each individual has the ability so to radiate his mental forces that he can cause the Dollar to feel him, love him, seek him and thus draw, at will, all things needed for his unfoldment from the Universal Supply.
It will help you to rise above the drudgery of enforced labor and enable you to enter upon the manifold expressions of life and the joy and spontaneity of childhood.
This is the thought which comes to you with this, my Lesson of Success.
