the promise to yourself that you will do one kind thing every day. Now that does not mean running out to the street corner and standing and waiting for some crippled person or blind person to come by so that you can help him across the street nor does it mean buying a loaf of bread and taking it to some poor family. It means keeping your eyes and ears open throughout the course of each day, and when there is an opportunity to compliment someone or congratulate or praise someone for something he has done or is about to do, then do so with a smile and with a tone of conviction in your voice. Make it your business to give someone a little uplift, a little boost, a little joy each day, no matter how you do it. Five cents given to a street urchin or telling your newsboy who sells you the paper to keep the change, will bring a smile and a little joy. Talking kindly to someone around you to whom you generally express a grouch will probably shock the heavens and convince them that the world is becoming better. Let loose the real self within you and throw yourself in harmony with all the rest of the universe by spreading some constructive thoughts, some helping thoughts, among those whom you contact occasionally or otherwise between each sunrise. And make up your mind that this year is to be the biggest promotion year you have ever had. AMORC is planning to make 1932 the greatest year in its history so far as propaganda is concerned. During the past few months we have started many innovations and many improvements, and we have spent more sums of money in trying to help others and in advancing the idea of Rosicrucianism than we ever spent during so-called prosperous years. We have realized that because of the depression and general economic conditions more is expected of those who can give and we have added to our facilities for spreading Light, Life, and Love. You should start some propaganda for yourself just as though you were going to build up a new and different reputation among all your friends and acquaintances, or just as though you had moved recently into a new town and have to make yourself known in the most favorable light. Try to impress everyone with the fact that you are more happy, more optimistic, more hopeful, than you have ever been. Then in the silence and in the privacy of your own life make up your mind that you are going to have your hopes and optimism realized. Go out and fight for your happiness as the Irishman, who said he would have peace even if he had to fight for it. The hour is at hand when the new generation is going to exert itself and show what it wants. You should join them in every locality and make next year the most helpful year in your life and the lives of others.
