It is the favorable termination of an effort. Consider its achievement Think of its dignity. Its possibilities are alluring inducements, and its reality is the reward for trying. With many people it is as elusive and fickle as a will-o'-the-wisp, yet day after day, and year after year, through the past centuries, the ambitious, the persistent, and the hopeful have battled on, dismayed by no difficulty, shrinking from no exertion, exhausted by no labor, and ever eager to renew their efforts to overtake it Alas! How few of those who fought so bravely ever attained their heart's desire? Yet there is a way to wealth that is reliable, a road to fame that is undeviating and a highway to success that is smooth and easily traveled. The fault was not with the road, but with the man. His efforts were misdirected. He was not aware of his own great powers. Had he been, he would have commanded success to come to him and she would have willingly obeyed. The secret of the power exerted by successful men is revealed through the Law of Mentalism. This subtle power which controls not only matter but the minds of other people, is the inheritance of every man. To develop and use it for his advancement and for the good of humanity is a duty he owes to mankind and to his Creator. Man was sent into this world to be a growing and exhaustless force.
It is an old but nevertheless a true saying that "Two heads (minds) are better than one." It is likewise true that the combined intelligence and effort of five thousand people is five thousand times greater than the intelligence and efforts of one person. That this fact is recognized by intelligent people, is demonstrated in the formation and organization of the various fraternal, social, business and insurance societies and clubs; by the legislative and political parties; by the combinations formed by railroad companies and manufacturers, which are called "Trusts," and also by the working men's unions, organized for their protection and advancement.
The man who tries to battle alone against such combinations is sure to meet with failure. To gain any marked degree of success one must enlist the assistance and co-operation of other people. To attempt to live independently of others is equivalent to committing suicide, for that is the only means by which one can escape from their influence or assistance. We are all dependent upon each other, therefore it is better to think and work in union and harmony with thousands of others than to attempt to live in opposition to them. The latter course has but one end, and that is ruin.
Success is the aim and object of all the members of this club, not only for self, but for all their brother and sister members. It is by the combination of thought and effort centered upon one subject that we produce such wonderful results. The membership of the club has grown very rapidly. This has been principally due to one cause - the success of its members. Their success has demonstrated to their friends and acquaintances that they possess some vital knowledge or force that is not understood by the public in general. That they might possess the same wisdom, and win a like, or a greater success, these friends have enrolled as members. The work has thus become an endless chain of success, each member forming one link. The membership has extended to every country in the world, thus forming a circle around the earth.
Perhaps you are ambitious and eager to make an effort to win success, but lack confidence in your ability, or do not know just how to commence. You perhaps feel that you possess natural talent and ability, and if you only had some one to encourage and direct you in the right channel of thought, you could take up your work with renewed energy and increased hope and make a success of it. This is where a membership in the Club would help you; for it would supply the missing link between you and success, through the assisting influence of every member. You would at once become a link with the other members, in the chain that moves the machinery of success. Their combined mental strength would be united with yours and before such a mighty force all obstacles give way.
Gould, Rockefeller, Morgan, Vanderbilt, Rothschilds, Wana-maker, Stewart, Depew, Edison, Pullman, Armour, Marshall Field and others, won success in their respective spheres because they applied their thoughts and efforts in the right direction, and obtained the assistance and mental influence of thousands of people.
"Thoughts are things," and Mentalism is the subtle force by which thoughts are intelligently conveyed from one to another. The concentrating and centralizing of this great force by thousands of minds, upon a special subject at a certain hour, always creates the condition desired. The Bible says that "If ye will all pray (think) with one accord, your prayers (desires) shall be answered.' It is by union that strength is increased. This mental force can be exerted so as to cure disease, prolong life, and create happiness, as.
Each member of the club is instructed in the use of the Law of Mental ism, so that he may through it create for himself and for others, the elements of success. While every man and woman possessing a knowledge of this law can assist himself or herself to success, still they can have that assistance increased a thousandfold, if they are also in harmony with, and receive the mental help and influence from a thousand people who are already attaining success. Then if that number is increased to ten thousand, the success will be increased in a corresponding ratio. The mental vibrations of one member are strengthened by those of all the members of the club. Every member will use his Mental force to help you, and you in return will send out your mental vibrations to unite with theirs and help them. As they become more successful, your success will increase, for you will all become as one great mind and think with one accord.
As the President of the Club, Professor Segno (pronounced Seg-no) takes a personal interest in every member, and co-operates with them twice a day, and uses the full strength of his mental force in their behalf. He thus keeps every member in harmony with himself and with each other. The more perfect the harmony existing between the Mentalism of all the members, the greater is the force and efficacy of the vibrations. The vibrations that Professor Segno is able to produce in people through being in harmony with them is often felt by them, though thousands of miles distant, as a sensation similar to a slight electric shock. It is by this power alone, that he has made such marvelous cures of paralysis and other diseases of long standing.
There is no better time than the present, for opportunity is knocking at your door, and delays are dangerous, especially as you have so much to lose by waiting and so much to gain by acting now. If success and contentment of mind are worth having at all, they are worth having NOW. The larger the membership the stronger will be the power for success, and the more wonderful will be the results accomplished. Therefore, you should not only join the club yourself, but should persuade your friends and acquaintances to join also. You need their influence and assistance just as much, if not more, than you do those of strangers. Let us harmonize with the Club.
Bear in mind that "Like attracts like." Therefore when you are successful, you will attract to you successful people, but as long as you are unsuccessful, you will attract people of a like nature Allow yourself to be placed in harmony with the members of the Segno Success Club and you will soon become successful and attract to you the class of people who can, and will, assist you to.
Do you wish to make a success? You should decide this question today. If you decide in favor of success, then take advantage of this opportunity to associate yourself with the Mental influence of all the members of this Club, and you will bless the day you made the decision. Upon receipt of your application for membership, stating your age, sex, whether married or single, and the business you follow, the Secretary will send you full instructions for taking the treatments for the cure of non-success, and will notify you of the date and hour that you will be harmonized with the other members of the Club.
The fee for membership in the Segno Success Club is One Dollar per month or Ten Dollars per year, payable in advance. A new harmonizing key and additional instructions are sent each month to every member in good standing. The key is sent previous to the first of each month, so that there will be no lapse of the success treatment Instructions explaining the Law of Mentalism, and how to use it in taking and giving the Success Treatments, are also sent to each member.
