cause of it all? Why so much hurry and bustle and scurry? What need for the feverish rush and maddening desire for wealth which on Wall Street turns men into hungry beasts of prey, ready to rend each other on slight provocation?

There is eternal life in which to "live and move and have our being." Plenty of time ahead. The world needs a rest sometimes, and it was to emphasize this that the Christ said, "Come unto me, all ye that labor.” But alas! the world of labor will not come unto Him. "Ye will not come unto me that ye might have life."

And so the tired brain, and starved nerves, and hungry soul, wear themselves out in the search for the things which cannot bring peace, and because man will not relax and, sometimes, wait and rest, his body, the tempie, becomes fouled and the eternal Mind cannot enter to inspire and vitalize the weary brain cells.

Do you remember when the Master entered into the Temple, and cast out the money changers and overthrew their tables, using force and power to cleanse the temple? This is but a symbol to-day of his power in the temple of man, who has made of his body "a den of thieves" instead of a "house of God."

In the renewal of life by whole-hearted consecration, we should sometimes spend a little while in considering what we have laid down at the feet of the Master, to be used for his service. The memory and imagination, are two active faculties of mind, individual mind, which requires special cleansing and purifying by the universal Mind.

Let us forget all that does not serve the Highest Good. Let us picture mentally only the highest ideals. To remember the evil things and to picture the distressing ones, is to realize conditions which are unsound, insane.

The economic conditions which affect our young girls in the big cities render it hard for the light of truth to penetrate. Materialism rules, and eternal life is sacrificed for the momentary

flash of a fierce flame that shoots up, to die out, and flicker, and fade, and be forgotten.

The preventive of insanity is rest. The remedy for insanity is rest. Work or labor amidst right conditions breeds soundness. Work or labor amidst wrong conditions breeds unsoundness.

The conditions demand time for re-creation. To re-create demands that one be brought into renewed relations with the power which creates. The creative power is sexual vitality;

and it is therefore a scientific fact that the Lord God "is in the midst of thee."

The prevalent insanity is caused by an ignorance of this vital, central source of power and its relation to the seat of the soul, the solar plexus.

During the past four years the writer has been privileged to be instrumental in restoring to sanity, many of both sexes who have been victims of perverted desires, aided and abetted by the stress of economic and unjust conditions.

We are prone to think that the asylums alone look after cases of insanity, and forget that for every one in the asylum there are at least a hundred in a worse condition outside.

It is impossible for mind to enter in and properly manifest its power where the organism has been impaired and its nerve forces and vital essences vitiated and lost; there must be restoration by conserved energy to feed the crying need of the starved nerves communicating with the cerebrum and cerebellum, and thus the conscious co-operation of the patient is desirable and requisite.

Only so far as we are able to arouse the voluntary co-operation of the patient can we expect to be rewarded, and to arouse the will of the individual is to arouse the Christ within.

The one way to restore to health and normality the race of to-day is to send out teachers who will proclaim the truths of the regenerate life; and only as these streams of life-giving

power go forth into the waste and desert of worldliness, will sanity become possible.

The psychology of insanity may be interpreted as relating to the soul hunger of the unsound, and this soundness on the three planes of body, mind, and soul, must be the outcome of the perception, appropriation, and national practice of a great and mighty truth, that vested in the maintenance of the regenerate life.

To this end there are helps and aids of which we must not lose sight. The matter of dietetics may be briefly considered scientifically. The body is composed of molecules in a state of vibration, and the quality of these molecules is dependent upon the quality of assimilated nutrition, whether the food be intellectual or physical.

Now, so long as we prefer swine flesh, and boiled cabbage, and starch bread, our molecules will be gross, dense, and partake of the character of our nutrition, and our rates of vibration will be slow and ill adapted for the light to penetrate. The law of highest use should govern us and our selection of food should be such as to build the outer temple with the best possible materials to last, and become fitting for the abode of the Spirit. While all food serves under various conditions, I have no hesitation in saying that the foods which comprise a diet of fruits, grains and nuts, to which may be added the occasional use of honey or olive oil, are the regenerative foods par excellence, and in their processes of assimilation and conversion into blood, and into the stones of the temple, afford the highest possible nutritive value and purifying influence.

If the fanatical zeal of the average temperance reformer were devoted to the source and cause of the drink trouble instead of to its effects, we might the more readily reap the benefit. Present conditions in the busy world demand more than a superficial or customary outlook. The reform must begin with ourselves in the home life, and when the ordinary home is ill adapted,

we make one, hence, the formation of the brotherhood idea. Right generation in the world must precede regeneration, and we have in our midst countless thousands of sexual perverts whose normal abiding place is in the astral world, and not here. at all. Many of us are obsessed by thousands of il prepared souls who, in this Christian era, are thrust forcibly out of their bodies under the remorseless demands of an unholy war.

We waste time on problems dealing with cleaner political life and economic relations. The world needs only love in the home, be it manger or palace, and as love rules, and homes worthy the name multiply, all problems will solve themselves; and wisdom will provide the methods. We need to send out teachers broadcast, and fit them for telepathic unison at all points; for a greater war is hanging over us and darkness is upon the face of the earth. During the coming year many will be tried, purified, and will see the light, and take part in the war as faithful soldiers. It will be at its height in the year 1909 and the closing months of 1914 will see the "sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings." Let us make haste to take our part in the redemption and to fit ourselves to function, as members, in the body of the Lord.

We mark with light in the memory the few interviews we have had, in the dreary years of routine and of sin, with souls that made our souls wiser; that spoke what we thought; that told us what we knew; that gave us leave to be what we inly were. Discharge to men the priestly office, and, present or absent, you will be followed with their love as by an angel.

FAITH, PRAYER, FEAR.

By Adnah.

Faith is confidence that the All-Good shall supply every need. Prayer is faith in operation because of an active, present need. Prayer and Faith are drawing powers, the result of confidence in and conformity with universal law.

Fear is transgression or perversion of law; it undertakes to break the use and relatedness of nature; it passes judgment,-it says such and such is evil, and no sooner is such a declaration made than those very qualities are created in the individual that so judges; judgment becomes active within him. So it is that whatever we affirm, we judge of, and we set in operation the law that was embodied by the Master in these words: "Judge not that ye be not judged." Nothing exists without a cause. We should have such confidence in God as is a constant assurance that all things serve a season and a purpose, that they will remain or pass away, not by our will, except that our will conform to the divine will that recognizes use for all things; when the use ceases, then the server of that use ceases-all under direction of an all-wise, all-provident, orderly will. Let us then seek knowledge of this universal purpose, that we may conform to the laws of God and behold no evil and fear no evil: to such there is no evil.

This is why the pure in heart shall see God, and, that love thinketh no evil. If we will pursue this thought constantly the most difficult passages of Scripture-especially the plan and meaning of the Christ, will become plain.

Those who enter the regeneration commence a life of perfect system, far more practical and scientific than any known science
