can never reach the seeker. Here you will note that the atmosphere created by severe tension of the mental forces breaks off harmonious vibrations from the fountain of supply. To again connect your selfhood (entity) with the source of all wealth, look first to your atmosphere. If you accept and believe the truths of the philosophy as I have herein presented them, you know the way. Follow it. Turn not to money-lenders or to friends indiscriminatelythe so-called "hustler" does that; and if he hustles hard enough, he may find (stumble on) the harmonious chord, though having first broken a thousand other chords of harmony's harp, which may not be easily mended.

The true way, the only way, is to wait in the silence till you again make your atmosphere true. If your needs are pressing, intensify, not your anxiety, but your stillness. Let your intensity express itself in hope and faith and trust. Your philosophy, if you have learned your lesson right, long ago would have told you there were no devils. If no devils, then no fear-if no fear,then no possible cause for anxiety.

Do you tell me that the plane of absolute faith and trust, beautiful and grand though it be, is a slippery one for mortal feet to rest upon If so, you have made it so by wrong thinking,

?

and by asserting untruths. If you are one with all creative force, all power is yours. Hold this truth-assert it, and forever banish every devil (evil) from your consciousness.

Yet you may be prompted to ask, What if we stumble or fail? Do not even ask that question--do not speak those words as having power over you. Remember, once Jesus failed -the harmonious vibrations between himself and all infinite force were stopped; yet, even then and thereby, the whole waiting world learned a new truth that he, who had overcome sickness and sorrow and suffering and poverty, had also overcome man's historically named "greatest enemy," Death.

Sometimes we ought to fail-later experience with their lessons prove it. We did not fully understand, it may be, the real purpose of the desire; but our faith, if we have merged ourselves in this philosophy as we should, ought to be great enough to teach us to know that all is well, and to enable us to thank the infinite force of creation even for seeming failure. On the earth-plane we may not always be able to distinguish between the real and the seeming. Let us in faith always hold in mind that even failure can be to us only the alphabet to success.

To attain the purpose which forms what we call the ambition of our lives, we must first, in the silence, learn if it be simply an idle wish or a spiritual desire of the soul. It will be told us as we wait; and, if a real desire, it will prove itself such from within. Recognizing that, we know it is God's message of promise; then our work begins. We turn first to books relating to the subject in question and read them, that their influence may help us to throw out attracting forces on the ethers surrounding us. Our prayers are not rhetorical climaxes, nor the half-expressed longings of a declared unworthy to be recipient. We know we are worthy--God told us that when He touched the chord whose vibrations thrilled and filled our being with the glorious truth that real desire held in itself the bright promise of attainment. Our silent hours, regularly and sacredly kept for the purpose, first, of making our atmosphere true, are our seasons for communications with the Infinite God-with Him with whom we are one. This mighty Impersonality we cannot define; but yet, this infinite force we can appropriate. Hardly have we completed our elementary task as to perfecting our atmosphere, before the true vibrations begin. We do not force them-we cannot. With our

atmosphere true, they begin their outreaching and their intermingling-the great harmony sought for has come. Oh, how true the words, when we understand them, "For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light!"

Seekers for truth-wherever you may betell the world now waiting of the pearls you have found. Herein I present you with an easier way than the Yogis of India have practised. I have proven its worth, but find another, if it seem best in your particular case. Know, above all things, that vibrative harmony must be gained to bring you into oneness with Being. Find the path to this. Growth, then, begins with the finding of one's divine selfhood, and is sustained by linking that selfhood, through soul-vibrations, to the Immanent God.

"He has found himself who knoweth,
That the power he may crave

Reveals itself, and showeth

That it came but when he gave

Gave of himself to other souls

Who struggle hard and long
To choose the path from varied ones
That join; but in the throng
Are jostled, wearied, spent, and worn,
And find no peace or rest.

'Tis not of other's knowledge born,

But deep within each breast."

A PSYCHIC LAW IN STUDENT WORK.

THE progress made during the past fifty years in the work of the schools is something marvelous. The actual work done in our preparatory schools and our colleges, embracing a period of eight years of study, is stupendous compared with what was done during the same period of time fifty years ago. Then, students carried their pallor on their faces; now, their faces are ruddy with the glow of health. There is much to be said in favor of a method that has brought about such results.

Divers causes may be assigned for this improvement. In part, it may be attributed to better teaching, but one may ask what brought about that better teaching. In part, it may be attributed to the ascending scale of more generally diffused intelligence-to the more systematic courses of instruction from the primary schools onto the advanced age and to its demands. Giving to each and all of these factors their full measure of compliment, to my mind, the true cause-the real factor-is behind them
