Every student who takes up the study of the laws of mind, will find that many of his lifelong views and ideas must give place to the truths we find in the new dispensation. This will not be hard to do when you remember that no practical help or comfort has ever come to you from the old way of thinking and doing, and we know that great help and comfort do come from the new way. A willingness to give up the false way is in the highest degree essential to one who takes up the study with honest, sincere desire to grasp an understanding of its principles. Jane Yarnall was an interesting New Thought figure in a couple of respects. She not only classified herself as a Divine Science writer but she also referred to her teachings as "Science of Mind" She wrote this when Ernest Holmes was a toddler "We desire to see every student so thoroughly trained in the understanding of these principles that no argument, no ridicule, no opposition or persecution can move him; and so firm that 'the gates of hell shall not prevail against his thoughts.'" - Jane Yarnall

We call this little volume "THE GOOD TIME COMING," because it has not as yet come to all consciously. The good time is already here for all who will open the door and let it in. The good time coming is when the principles we have aimed to set forth in these pages shall be known and acknowledged by every living soul. The good time consists in the knowledge of eternal principles that are of practical value in the solution of the life problem. Not a solution of the financial problem at all; but when a man understands the truth of his real being, as all may understand it, the financial problem is already solved for such.
