It is suggestive rather than explanatory, it’s object being to stimulate men and women to the discover of the perception of the truth that:”They themselves are the makers of themselves” by virtue of the thoughts they wish to encourage; that mind is the master weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.
