About This Book

A modest, faded churchwoman, Miss Philura Rice, endures a life of quiet resignation until she attends a metaphysical lecture by Mrs. B. Isabelle Smart, who urges that desire, expectant belief, and thankful affirmation can manifest good. As she takes these teachings to heart, Miss Philura experiences an inner renewal that reshapes her self-regard and outward presence. The narrative contrasts humble piety with fashionable spiritual optimism and traces personal transformation through the adoption of thought-as-creative-force, examining how belief, gratitude, and persistent expectation can alter both inner life and social circumstance.
