price, that he will return upon a certain day specified in a vacant place upon the slip. Mr, White has been living in the open the greater part of the time for a number of years. The forest of the Middle West, the-snows of tho Barren Ground, the cowboy camps of the Southwost, the Intricate ranges of the Sierra Nevadas all of these have furnished him with material. Tho scene of "The Pass" is the last-named place. Among the striking outdoor bookj of the year, Mr.

Horace Kephart's book of "Camping and Woodcraft," which the Outing Publishing Company piomises during August, la one of the best. Few men are as well known, as campers or as writers as la Mr. Kephart. For many years he has spent a large amount of his time In tho woods, and his book covers every detail which the novice or the inexperienced camper can care to know about, from the kind of mosquito netting to the quality of tent canvas. The book more-over is written with all the charm of the story.

A novel by Arthur Goodrich, entitled "The DalaDce of Power," Is announced for publication In late August. It Is the story of tho loves of two friends for the same girl, with a I gripping, vital struggle of every-day American Ufa as a background, a story of hgh ideals and courageous optimism. The publishers of this book, The Outing Publishing Company, gay that It "grips you In the beginning and sweeps you off youf feet in the end," and they boldly prophesy that it will be one of the best selling books of the year. A. S.

Barnes publishers of The New Knowledge, announce that they are sending to press, the fifth large edition of this book. It is significant that during the year when there has been a noticeable falling off in sales of Action, a purely scientific book should have had such a phenomenal success. Prof. Robert Kennedy Duncan, th author, writes the following preface to this edition: "The rapid sequence of editions through which this book has passed, has given me scant opportunity, however, in this edition, of correcting cer- tan typographical Inadvertencies that have caused me to write many griev ous letters of explanation to readers who thought that In them, they dis cerned Inconsistencies of statement. I wish to thank most cordially, my read era, at both home and abroad, for their letters of thanks and good will." "The Praying Skipper." hv Ttalnh TV Paine, Is being translated Into French for publication in France during the coming winter.

These seven questions wil apply to each of us and it does look reasonable to me to think that each of us may realize how deficient the union of God's desire Is in us. The master of the individual body will never fall to respond instantly to the fearless and earnest call from the Intellect to begin the mental cleaning and shovel out the rubbish and error that has been occupying the space (while the lesson of experience was being learnd) that rightfully belongs to these most helpful and loving thoughts for others, coming from your own dear self to teach others the folly that through experience of keeping what you have now found to be useless to the race. I dwell on Fear especially, as tne polar opposite of Love. The North and South poles of our earth corresponds to the magnetic needle as the positive and negative elements do to Loveand Fear.

The North pole attracts from the South pole, and likewise Love enlarges through the process of absorption over Fear. Socialism, as Jesus taught it, could be called equity, the harvest reaped by eacii individual sower of that which he expected an increase. The successful harvester makes a practice of studying the value of poise. First, he prepares the soil to bring forth that which he has sown. Secondly, he obeys Nature laws, and assists when he deems It best to do so, and, lastly, the result of obedience to the law of Love, he reaps all, and many fold more of that which he has given.

Fear, when permitted, will ruin the plans of the exaltedly Inclined, Just so long as the Anchor of Poise has been neglected. The anchor to a boat answers the same purpose as balance does to a human entity, namely the preventitive of drifting has been guarded. When we find the truly poised, we find the absence of Fear, as no current in the stream will carry the boat further than the anchor fastener. Man has been Intended to use the anchor of three-fold kind, which Nature has supplied to keep him from drifting into the stream of error. Love is that anchor, and it to man includes the un-foldment of the physical, mental and spiritual bodies.

Here we may Justly stop a moment and Inquire, "What doth it profit a man If he gain the whole world, and lose his own. soul?" Nature again showers forth her gifts In giving man All Eternity If he chooses to cling to the material and neglect the spiritual. "Man must first lose himself in order to find himself." The grain of the field, the oak of the forest, nd the flowers that gladden the hearts of the oppressed, teach the lesson that In order to grow and develop the grain, the acorn and the hip of the rose must decay to give free expression to the germ, to again manifest to Its fullness of measure. As we measure the grain after the harvest, and find that growth has given us forty, fifty or sixty fold, we rejoicing In the result and for the faith In giving to Mother Earth the seed that has yielded so abundantly. In the botanical sense I appreciate Nature's edict In not placing the bulb In the rose famllyi but I feel that both the bulb and the rose will be lenient with me In my mission for good In trying to show the wisdom of protecting the embryo of the rose until It has been restored Into the nursery of Mother Nature.

The bulb, through harmony of natural law. and In accordance with His promise affords you and I the pleasure of the beauty and fragrance of not only one rose, but many, from the one. Would you who hear me. Of read this, tell me of one person whom you may know who derived happiness In the craving, or hoarding of money? We are told in our Spiritual text-book that "it is more blessed to give than tJNTRIMMED Mats p.um French and fancy rough chip and Tuscan straws that sell usually at 65c to fl.50; R. price, to receive." Wise Was He Indeed to speak thus.

Man must give his money for the illusionary or real needs for his comforts, as we each have learned the lesson of the talents, and consider as our ownself, he who had the one talent. It was taken from him and given to the one who had used the talents given him, rather than bury the one to save it, only to lose it. Man, why wilt thou not learn thy lesson how? Learn that the Spirit of God is manifesting In you now; that you are a part of that eternal scheme of Omnipotent Good. First 3-16: "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in your We are each told that we are a perfect image of the Creator, and that through Him, (father-mother) God, we live, move and have our being. What have we to give In return since each of us Is a part and receives our all through you.

The Absolute? God answers, "Love thy neighbor as thyself." "Love is the Key which unlocks the treasures of the human soul and gives Its wealth into the possession of another." "Love Is the permeating essence (of the unseen, unfelt, and I may venture to say, non-comprehensible) of God's highest and best, ever made evident In Nature as Good. To be peaceful in turmoil as well as the calmness of a haven, will do more to help us appreciate, and thoroughly understand the intrinsic law of "Divine Love," than all the words ever written, or spoken by man. "Except ye become as a little child, ye can in no wise enter the Kingdom of Love." An Informal discussion followed this paper which was 1ft a sense a resume of our last four weeks' work. The variety of ideas of what lovo means set one thinklnk. The President said that love to her was the fulfilling of the law, the constant manifestation of the golden rule.

She has little use for love in the abstract, for love which soars, or sits aloft, or has to be bought or acquired, for she believes thfe.t it should be ingrained, ever present, constantly In use, and bounteously dispensed. Love Is expressed In right living, be it in writing what will uplift humanity, or sweeping a floor as to the Lord, In a Samaritan act, or In forgetting self, in appreciating the works of God, or in assisting others to do so. An other speaker believed that it wa best expressed in self denial. Another believed that the spirit of love attracts the best to you In any land. In discussing the subject a very instructive evening was passed.

The talk on "What and Where Is the Healing Power," to be given at No. 1094 Main Street tomorrow (Monday) evening at 8:15 o'clock by Professor G. Sterling Wines of New York City, will give our cltzens a rare oppor-tuntv to hear one who for nearly half a century has been associated with people of Independent thought. To quote Parker H. Sercombe in August "Tomorrow," are beginning to show "f.nat we can find heaven here our feet on the ground.

Those oh the picket lines of progress have caught up the urge of the simple life propaganda." Years ago Prof. "Wines parents befriended in their home in New York those who were struggling for Truth's Sake, hence he has known all the great men and wemen such as Blavatsky, The Fox Sisters, Madam Dis-de-Bar, and In recent years has been associated with the late Hodgson and with Dr. W.

We shall use some of his lessons for our Sunday talks when we have no speaker. Mr. Larson announces that he is to give practically all his time to this Journal, so that in future it will be enlarged, but the price, 50 cents a year, will remain the same. New departments will be added, and the editor now offers three subscriptions for $1, or ten subscriptions at the rate of 25 cents each until August 31st. This article on "Enthusiasm" did our hearts good, and the magazine from cover to cover is uplifting.

LITERARY NEWS Continued from Page 34. MRS. ATHERTON'S PLANS Gertrude Atherton, author of The Bell In the Fog. The Travelling Thirds, and other hovels, has left California, where she has been spending the win ter, to go for a short trip up Into Can ada and the Northwest. She ex pects to be In New York some time In the early weeks of August.

Mrs. Athertcn has been making some close studies of California life, which she will use in her next noveL. A SPLENDID NEW STORY August 9th is the day set by the Harpers for the publication of Justus Miles Forman's new novel, Buchanan's Wife, which report says, Is to be one of the signal successes of the fall bub llshlng season. The story deal with modern life, the chief figure being a young and beautiful woman who has married unhappily. As a last refine ment of cruelty the husband decides to evade his burdens and responsibilities, and disappears In such a manner that the wife cannot find out whether he is living or dead.

The way in which the woman dares face the cruel fate that mocks her, and to wrest to herself the happiness that should have been hers by right, makes Up a novel and thrilling romance. The story of a woman's fight for Jove has never been better told; and while the book Is bound to provoke discussion, like The Masquerader, it neither "preaches nor teaches," but la simply a story for the story's sake, characterized by a certain unusual quality of breathless Interest, Stewart Edward White, whose new book, "The Pass," is sure to add to the reputation already brought by "The Blazed Trail," "The Forest," and many other books, spends a great part of his time away from his home, "The Jumping Off Place," Santa Barbara, Cal So little 1 he at home, la fact, that he has had little slips printed, which advise the correspondent that; "Mx. WfeA i la the mountans," and '81. He believes that science Is sys-temlzed common sense. He la a deep student and investigator of all Fsyco-logloal phases.

Has written on Hypnotism and Crime, Law of Suggestion h.nd besides being a graduate of the Divinity School at Harward, worked under Prof. James at Harvard Investigating all phases of psychic phenomena, and is a recognized authority on mental science. He considers hypnotism to be a proof of phrenology, and has achieved an International reputation as a writer aj.d lecturer along all psychological lines. We hope to detain Prof. Wines in our city long enough for him to give at least eix lectures, which may be arranged for at a nominal price.

While here will be at the league room, af-ternons between 4 to 6 o'clock and evenings between 8 to 10 o'clock to meet any who wish to see hlrn privately. The subject upon which he has been asked to speak are: The True Self or The Science of Being, The Philosophy of Prayer, The Philosophy of the Conscious and the Sub-conscious Mind, The Philosophy of Idealism and Its relation to Mental Heallns. The Philosophy of Disease, and many practical suggestions regarding healing. Among our guests on Tuesday evening were numbered Mrs. M.

J. R. Treat of Hays, Kansas, the mother of Mrs. F. M.

Wilson, Professor and Mrs. G. Sterling Wjnes of New York City and Miss Florence Ahl of Pittsburg. We hope for a full house Monday evening, August 13th, to welcome Prof. Wines, as he will talk on a vital Bubpject that of possessing health.

Miss Alma Khobloch of Washington, D. will be the speaker for next Tuesday evening, having as her subject, "Body, Mind and Spirit." Prof. G. Sterling Wines will speak on the Psychology of Opinion," at our Sunday afternoon service from 4 to 6 o'clock. Note the change In time please, and bo prompt and bring a friend.

We had thought to review August "Tomorrow," but it Is all too good to enable us to select any single part. Sercombe himself Is In evidence. He sems full Of the humor of life, and has his feet on the ground "Shore Nuf." He is vital In his tendencies, and also his likes and dislikes. In short he is human, and alive, and we want to tell him that "Tomorrow" hvpnotised us into going down town with out a hat and on the return trip caused us to be carried two blocks past our home, so Interesting did we find its contents. We liked VThe Barrel-Dosser." bv John F.

Valter im- menselv, because we like humanity, 'and "Still in the Ditch." by William J. Mullen, touches our hearts, because we love Italy, at home or abroad. H. Bedford-J ones' Gaelic bits are charming, and should be set to music. There we did not expect to mention a thing from "Tomorrow," but have been hypnotized again.

Where's the power, Sercombe Mrs. Sue B. Bigger sent us a donation for our character building Institution on Thursday last and such a kind letter. She has been In Progressive Thought for many years, and we like the vibration she sends and thank her for It. Next? 1 Eternal Progress for August, Christian D.

Larson, editor, Cincinnati. i3 conducted on a hlxa paxdinedtmiasA merely settled on the lips. Old French in a measure, overlook the intellect, and look deeper Into the source from which the intellect springs. Could we but realize the value of giving, not particularly of material things, but rather Include all our Individual possessions, we could then have a clearer, a deeper, and a more substantial premise to exercise our reason. "That which a man soweth, that shall he also reap." God, Good, Truth, Love, Omniscience, or any Individual term that exists may be, and are used to express the fullest and highest development, which to me implies giving.

Could the mineral, vegetable, or animal life thrive, were it not that generous Nature gave abundantly for the needs of all? Can we view God othr than a free and loving giver? From my viewpoint I can only see God as a constant dispenser of good. Oh! Spirit Divine, wouldst thou speak, and express to me my greatest duty to God, as I know you are perfectly sane, and self-poised, being therefore prepared to teach, as so few are who are encased in the mortal shell. My lesson to thee, dear soul, is, first, last and always; learn to give. The three preceding speakers who spoke on Socialism, the "Value of Poise," and also on "Fear," were given through that Universal Spirit, of which you are a part, and likewise every mortal of earth, the beautiful thoughts for the freedom of man from slavery, unbalanced-conditions, and Fear, (the monster of all) as undeveloped or less love-manifesting, as it seems to me, in all mortal life. My best evidence Is In myself, and taking as an example for the race, 1 do so from the mortal aspect, and not In any sense meaning the 1 AM, the Fearless body, the Kgo.

The mere fact that the Intellectual body of my economy is ever watchful of avoiding fear in my dally routine of life, creates the image of that which I do not desire. In itself. We are talking ceaselessly of having health, prosperity, and happiness, all of which are ours now. Since, as we claim, they are ours now, what does It avail us to constantly affirm the fact (as such It Is to the spiritual body) if It were not to mold and make over the lesser, into the greater? The law of Evolution is ever changing for the betterment of all, teaching the folly of looking into the past, and fearing the conditions ahead, of what will the morrow bring forth? No, I do hot believe that there is a person living who Is entirely free from fear. Do I always express my thoughts? Do I ever think of what 1 should eat for the best hygenlc effect to produce this or that? Do I wonder at tlmeB what I should wear and if it will look as nice as another? Do 1 think about rain when 1 am going out tomorrow, Instead of patiently awaiting the result? Do I feel like knowing exactly What was said about me? Do I When Love flies from the heart It Proverb.

No. 1094 Main Street. Last Tuesday evening a fine audience assembled to hear a paper on "Love," prepared by our auditor, Frank M. Wilson, which was charmingly read by Mrs. Wilson, as the writer was unavoidably absent.

We give it below for the benefit of our absent members and the refreshment of those who heard It. Emerson has written many pages on the subject for discussion, and, other sages have done likewise. yet. none have made the analysis clear, since no two have the same state of consciousness to discern, as Genesis tells us that "God la Love." To know God Is to know and experience "Love." In presenting you this brief paper on a subject that embodies the essence of the whole universe, we must, to get the spirit of its meaning, dive deep in re- search. Taking this as a hypothesis, I can only speak, as to myself in forming my own conception of the value It is to me.

Slow many times have you tried to tell another of the beauties you have seen in the rainbow? Did anyone, do you think, ever see those delicate shades In the tints you saw, as you endeavored to make the Impression on their conscious mind, and have that impression correspond with yours? think you will say, not one. Consider for a moment that In this Instance only one of the five senses has been brought into action to convey to them the treasures of you- soul development, in color. Then, naturally, reason (the objective faculty) asks the pertinent question, Why? Why do we not see, think, understand and sense alike the finer qualities springing forth from the Inner garden of the Higher Self? Why are those bounteous creations of loving thoughts In each of us not revealed that someone may be helped to raise their aspirations to a higher plane? The question why comes from the intellect, and from that source we have been trying to see what cannot be eeen, and trying to reason, but, in vain, far as basic principle Involves. The indifferent aspects of life may be Nr geenrously harmonized If we will..
