Power of Will
Author Frank Haddock -1915. this is a comment copied from comments on the writers book:
I've only read about 120 pages so far, but this is one book I have a hard time
putting down. As with most books I've read which were written around this time,
Power of Will uses a lot of theatrics. I assume writers wrote in a much more
descriptive fashion before the days of modern media. The first chapter seemed a
little deep, but as I read on it seemed easier to assimilate. I can't tell you
exactly why, but old books such as this seem to draw me in. The point of the
book is: By gaining self-discipline (will-power) anything we want to accomplish
will be much more possible and probable. I would compare this book with Law of
Success (Napoleon Hill), Pushing to the Front (Orrison Swett Marden)and, The
Master Key System (Charles F. Haanel). As I've said, read this book!

F.C.Haddock; American Writer
Frank Channing Haddock was born November 17th, 1853 in Watertown, New York of the well known Methodist preacher George C. Haddock and the former Cornelia B. Herrick. He graduated from St. Lawrence University in 1876 (with “high rank” and as the class poet), and entered the Methodist ministry but left that to take up law, being admitted to the bar in 1881, practiced in Milwaukee and was a well known legal writer. In 1887, he returned to the ministry (after his father’s assassination for temperance work), preaching in Iowa, Ohio and Massachusetts. He then retired from the ministry to take up writing again where he became a famous author and lecturer on ethics, philosophy, spirituality and empowerment.
His primary work is captured in the Power-Book Library comprised of the "Power of Will," "Power for Success," "The Personal Atmosphere," "Business Power," "The Culture of Courage," "Practical Psychology" and "Creative Personality". He died in Merriden, Conn on February 9th, 1915 of meningitis while completing his last work, the “Creative Personality.”

yup...this town
...like I said, I'm parking some pictures and stuff here...not too clear just where I'm going with this.
The town is kind of cute but clearly lacks any of the vitality you find anywhere in the region of Toronto and west of the so called TO. It looks to me that relatively little is happening east of Whitby...as compared to the boom region of Toronto to the West.
To be quite honest, what the locals try to pass off as quaint and historic around here looks shabby, antiquated and should have been ripped apart some time ago.
One look at the railway system...Oshawa, Port Hope, Cobourg and it becomes clear that this part of the infrastructure is desperately overdue for some extensive modifications and modernization ( anybody hear of high speed rail systems, we have the technology but lack the will do apply it in our own country).
Just released figures by the feds tell us that more and more of us are streaming to the big cities, leaving the small townd sort of standing still. Even the local mini mall is struggling with a high vacancy rate.

Secret Society and good fortune...scam?
I have
just gotten the Secret Society invitation and 5 stories booklet in the mail
after I replied. I think the secret message is that you must create and hold an
image in your mind visually (which uses the right side of your brain) that you
are special and deserving of all the riches, fame, love, etc that life has to
offer. This visual image is white magic which inclines people and even things to
help you in your life's endeavors. And so subconsciously the rich and powerful
Illuminati types in the Secret Society are using this "I am special" thought and
image to gain many advantages over the left brained operating
people.
Most all celebrities use this same "I am Special" thought or thinking to gain a following, fame, and money. And so whatever your aspirations in life using this right brain image of specialness for yourself can attract people and circumstances to you for your benefit and enhance any natural abilities or desires you have to accomplish. This is also the technique of creative visualization.
The great sorrow is that the Secret Secret Society uses this knowledge to gain material gains and sells this message for profit. Rather it is better for the Illuminati to give all people the message that they are special and need to use their right brain to contemplate and visualize what they wish to achieve in life. This is the way of the future not the pyramid shaped societies of today of the rich and famous at the top and the masses of other peoples at the bottom.
I copied the
above text from a forum on the subject, here is another article with a somewhat
related similar message: please note these two items are copies from the
forum,not my words:
Not all scams are on the Internet and I think this one should be given the light of day.
I am not exactly sure where this belongs because there does not seem to be a category here.
A few weeks ago, I received by snail mail an offer to receive some free information telling me how I could become richer in life, wealth and love.
The letter was very flattering and stroked my ego as well as a desire to be wealthy and travel the world. This is all by design for you to take the bait.
The offer said that I had to return or fax back a form requesting the free info before that Friday coming up.
With hockey playoffs and the final arrival of some warmer weather for spring, I did not get around to actually reading the information until the Saturday past the deadline. I decided that for the price of a stamp, I would take a chance and send my form in.
I had been specially selected for this honor because I was entering the "second cycle" of my life and can accept the "Secret Society's Inner Secrets" that are over 2300 years old and been used by all the rich and powerful throughout modern history.......Whew! Heady stuff!!
Well, I guess I got lucky and they were not paying attention to the deadline that they had set. I am now a "New Secret Society Member"!
I am now in possession of my "Secret Society Orientation" booklet and according to the instructions, once I uncover the secret message inside the 5 true stories in the booklet I "will come upon wealth and fame".
Now if I happen to NOT discover the secret message...."you still absorb it when you read your enclosed Secret Society Orientation booklet, and within two weeks, THREE very good things will happen to you involving money, power and love!"
This whole deal is to try and draw you in to buying the 680 page "Inner Secrets Manuscript" for the low, low price of $200.00 USD, L130.00 British Pounds, $270 Australian dollars, $235 Canadian dollars 150 Euro's $345 New Zealand dollars and the best part.....1,680 South African Rand but they only accept cash or credit card if paying by Rand......
This is all very convincing if you have read or seen any DaVinci Code or Angels and Demons books or movies.
Here is where Google becomes your best friend. There is a name in the booklet. "Kirsten Hart" comes up with enough warnings of fraud.
I have the free booklet. I read some....I'll let you know in 3 weeks if I become rich and famous.......
I received the booklet and related propaganda in the mail, I never asked for it. Visa or MasterCard for $200 is payable to The Society...that's it, 7 day offer expires Friday..any Friday I guess..

on this secret society scene, I posted this on the fraud forum....don't ask me
why...!

Missed the Friday response deadline I guess.
Finally opened the envelope, found the booklet with the 5 articles and some other stuff.Guess this is a special offer just for me, the price was reduced from $250.00 to merely Can. $200.00 guess I am really special.
There were a few other pieces of printing in the package, one page printed two sides promised a big dick.
No kidding. The illustration showed 4 different sizes, mini to large the big one about 12 inches..I'm afraid I was so appalled I ripped this page up,should have kept it. In defense of the advertisers I believe it was in a separate envelope marked adult content.
I will reveal a secret here,looking down I can relate to the smaller of the 4 tools described but I can not for the world of me imagine why one of my greatest wishes or desires would be to have a bigger dick...what on earth for,my gadget has given me enough trouble in my lifetime....
Anyway, I must admit I was entertained by the unsolicited mail but sorry, not interested in the 630 page book for $200...
