1352 CHAPTER XV.
1353 THE ADVANCING MAN.
1354
1355 W hat I have said in the last chapter applies as well to the professional man and the wage-earner as to
1356 the man who is engaged in mercantile business.
1357 No matter whether you are a physician, a teacher, or a clergyman, if you can give increase of life to
1358 others and make them sensible of the fact, they will be attracted to you, and you will get rich. The physician
1359 who holds the vision of himself as a great and successful healer, and who works toward the complete
1360 realization of that vision with faith and purpose, as described in former chapters, will come into such close
1361 touch with the Source of Life that he will be phenomenally successful; patients will come to him in throngs.
1362 No one has a greater opportunity to carry into effect the teachings of this book than the practitioner of
1363 medicine; it does not matter to which of the various schools he may belong, for the principle of healing is
1364 common to all of them, and may be reached by all alike. The Advancing Man in medicine, who holds to a
1365 clear mental image of himself as successful, and who obeys the laws of faith, purpose, and gratitude, will
1366 cure every curable case he undertakes, no matter what remedies he may use.
1367 In the field of religion, the world cries out for the clergyman who can teach his hearers the true science of
1368 abundant life. He who masters the details of the science of getting rich, together with the allied sciences of
1369 being well, of being great, and of winning love, and who teaches these details from the pulpit, will never
1370 lack for a congregation. This is the gospel that the world needs; it will give increase of life, and men will
1371 hear it gladly, and will give liberal support to the man who brings it to them.
1372 What is now needed is a demonstration of the science of life from the pulpit. We want preachers who can not
1373 only tell us how, but who in their own persons will show us how. We need the preacher who will himself be
1374 rich, healthy, great, and beloved, to teach us how to attain to these things; and when he comes he will find a
1375 numerous and loyal following.
