Marcus - Have Faith In Self
Thursday, October 27, 1927
 
Today I made myself in life anew,

By going to that royal fount of truth,

And searching for the secret of the few

Whose goal in life and aim is joy forsooth.

I found at last the friend and counsellor

That taught me all that I in life should know;

It is the soul, the sovereign chancellor,

The guide and keeper of the good you sow.



I am advised-"Go ye, have faith in self,

And seek once more the guide that lives in you"

Much better than the world of sordid pelf,

Alas! I found the counsel to be true.



Aha! I know right now that I shall see

The good in life, and be a better man;

I will by thought and deed pull all to me,

In saving others, yea, every one.



Go down and search yourself awhile in part,

And tell me all of what you see and hear;

Isn't there something pulling at your heart?

Tell me the truth and have ye then no fear!

There is a voice that speaks to man, within,

It is the Soul that longs for you to know

There is no need for you to grope in sin,

For you in truth and light may ever grow.
