THE KING GONE “CRAZY”.
There was once a beloved king, whose castle was on a high hill, overlooking his shire.
He was so popular that the nearby townspeople sent him gifts daily, and his birthday celebration was enjoyed throughout the kingdom.
The people loved him for his renowned wisdom and fair judgments.
One day, tragedy struck the town.
The water supply was polluted, and every man, woman, and child went insane.
Only the king, who had a private spring, was spared.
Soon after the tragedy, the mad townspeople began speaking of how the king was acting “strangely” and how his judgments were poor and his wisdom a sham.
Many even went so far as to say that the king has gone crazy.
His popularity soon vanished.
No longer did the people bring him gifts or celebrate his birthday.
The lonely king, high on the hill, had no company at all.
One day he decided to leave the hill and pay a visit to the town.
It was a warm day, and so he drank from the village fountain.
That night there was a great celebration. The people all rejoiced, for their beloved king had “regain his sanity”.

HOW TO GET A DEMONSTRATION.
HOW TO GET A DEMONSTRATION.
Here is one way of solving a problem by Scientific Prayer, or, as we say in metaphysics, of getting a demonstration.
Get by yourself and be quiet for a few moments, once a day for several days, drop all your worries for the time being-this is absolutely essential-relax the body, and begin to think about God.
Ask Him to come into your mind, then remind yourself of some of the things you know about Him-that He is present everywhere, that He has all Power, that He knows and love and cares for you, and so forth…
You can even read a paragraph from any spiritual book that helps you.
During this stage it is important not to think about the problem, but to give your attention to God.
In other words, do not try to solve the problem directly (which would be using will power) but rather become interested in thinking of the Nature of God.
Then, ask the Great Universal Power to endow you with whatever thing you are most needing; whether that be health, or Peace of mind, or guidance, or a job, or even money, or what not.
Claim the thing that you need, claim it quietly and confidently, as you would ask for something to which you are entitled.
On no account must you give instructions to that Power, because it will not take them; and if you try to compel it, nothing will happen.
Be receptive.
Be open-minded.
Be humble.
Be patient.
Then give thanks for the accomplished fact, as you would if somebody handed you a gift.
Do not discuss your treatment with anyone.
Do your best not to be tense or hurried.
Tension and hurry delay the demonstration.
In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.
And you will see what you will see.
Something remarkable will happen.
I have nothing to deal with but my own thoughts.
