Perhaps you are unable to dip to the mysteries of your own lul to know the answer to that kawing hunger for something at u not, that aching void which . lakes you suffer in the darkness the small hours of the morn- K and perhaps you have given i seeking the solution. But there is an answer! Great minds have found it You in find it.

MAN A K about one's work each day, know ing that all is well, projects not only a power but a happiness into life, which is a part of The Way. EARLIER Dronhet glimpsed somewhat the truth that the Master realized and revealed so completely when he said: 'And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye In it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.' "Said that great industrialist, Henry Ford, who, sensitively or ganized, has a contact with some thing somewhere which the ordin ary man doesn't have and which to my mind accounts for his abil ity to see ahead of the other fel low and to -project things on a large scale: 'We are central sta tions with myriads of entities go ing and coming all the time with messages. Thus no one is alone, no one is helpless. All the ma terial and insight that exists is available for those who send for it and can use it The more you use the more you have. One of the cardinal rules of life is use. If you want more of anything, use what you have.' "Our conversation had been about the inner powers and forces, and I then made bold to put to him the question: 'You feel, do you, that if thought is a force as we must recognize it is there is such a thing as cultivating it in some way, so that we may use it more effectively than we ordin arily do say, by way of some definite direction of it, by concentration?' IS answer was: 'Intensify your thought and you set up attraction. Concentrate on n job, and you attract all the things necessary to accomplish it. You attract the things you give a great deal of thought to. I have had to quit many jobs and wait because Ir haven't spent enough thought on them. I have had to wait for certain things to come around. . . . You attract what you need by putting a lot of thought on it, then all the necessary elements or entities come around where you can use them. A thing will build itself up if you keep your thought on it. Thoughts are materials.' "It is interesting, almost amaz- "H1 "Yes, there is a reality, a di recting power that will not fail us, if we will but trust ourselves to it, if we will do ' our part." ing and truly gratifying, to find by talking with them how large is the number of men of affairs, big affairs along one line or an other, who are alive to these truths, who are studying them, and pursuing them, who are inter ested in the laws of these inner powers and forces of life, and who are using them in their lives. "They are realizing that these bigger and more real things in life, the things of the mind and the spirit, together with the real ization of the oneness of all life, pay, after all, the larger divi dends, and bring the real and abiding pleasures and satisfac tions in life. Mk t AY I digress for a moment y to mention an occurrence which suggests itself here? Some years ago it was my pleasure to stop off in Michigan for a little visit with a friend who when he died some time later left a fortune of many million dollars. Inherit ing nothing but a good mind and a good native ability, he had made a fortune. His health broke and ( - Jpv ' The above picture is of a bust of Ralph Waldo Trine. "All the material and insight that exists is available for those who send for it and can use it," he said. he lost it all. After the restora tion of his health several years before my visit, he had com menced again to build a fortune that he started on his . kitchen stove. "He was a man of rare vision and patience. Tall and of splendid physique when I knew him, he told me he was but skin and bones, as the saying goes, when he started his way back to health again. Exhausting the skill of doctors and specialists and sani tariums, even in the summer weather he was encased in three suits of underclothing and an overcoat, moving here and there in his wheel chair. "One day in conversing with a friend, he was told of a little wo man in the same city who had accomplished some remarkable things in the realm of healing. He was seized with a strong con viction, and had himself wheeled to her little cottage. Describing his condition, nnd his futile efforts in regaining his health, he told her that he had come to stay with her. "'But,' she protested, 'I have no room for you. I can't take you.' '"That's all right,' he replied, 'but I am here, and I am here to stay.' Seeing his determination, she found a way. To explain the situation he said to me: " 'I realized in the presence of this little woman that she had something that I with my busi ness and executive ability didn't have.' "He then set forth in a graphic way how at the very first treat ment he could feel the quickening and the warming of his blood as in a vitalised form it coursed through his system. IE BECAME interested in 11 the things she knew. This interest grew, and he began to make careful study of the Inner powers and forces of life, which he pursued with increasing ardor as the years passed. He was prac tically healed, ho said, when he left the little cottage, and he left it with a far greater knowledge of life than when he was wheeled into it. "He then begun to make a study of foods, an intensive study; for he felt that the preservation of health, which is the chief value in life, was dependent to a very great extent upon the food we eat. The blood stream is the very fountain of life, of the bodily life, externalizing in the body always of its kind; and the right elements In food must be supplied to man ufacture a vital and healthy type of blood. "He became convinced that what Is the matter with the great " proportion of people with whom something is the matter is defec tive eating, primarily the eating of too much denatured food, as well as unwise combinations of food, and in many cases over-eating, with under-exercise. This, combined with his own recent ex perience of the influence of the mind and the spirit on the body, gave him a knowledge of health that he had never had before, nnd 1 enabled him eventually to be of great help in this realm to many people. KQUT getting back to the prim O ary purpose of relating this anecdote: My friend had pur chased some acres of ground ad joining his factories on which he had built a number of very at tractive cottages, each with an adequate parcel of ground. These h : sold to his workers at practi cally the cost of construction on liberal terms of payment A little beyond them, he had built a simple cottage for himself nnd for quiet. When the cares of the growing business and his contact with people began to get him away from his bearings, he would go there sometimes for a couple of days at a time, to be entirely alone, for rest, for thought, for meditation, and re-creation. He recalled how necessary he found this in order to preserve the right balance in life, to keep himself up to par, that he might the more fully enjoy life. "It is an interesting bit of human experience, and it carries a lesson for all. Life is more than eat and drink, more than business, more than money. Business and money are a means to an end, like riches, but never an end in them selves. "And before leaving the matter the little woman! She had sat at the feet of the Master, and she believed His word. With a natural interest, and evidently with an unusual aptitude in herself, she was impressed with His acts of healing. She heard Him repent so many times, 'Believest thou that I can do this thing?' and the an swer being always in the affirm ative, she heard Him, 'According to thy faith be it unto thee: Be thou whole.' "She realized then that to heal, or to be of help In the healing of another, it is necessary, through the genuineness nnd the power of one's own life, to instill a confi dence in that other sufficient to arouse his subconscious mind to such a degree of activity thnt a subtle force is engendered, which produces tho healing. "With so much physical suffer ing in the world, so many dis traught minds and nerves, nnd so many ill bodies, there nre muny who have wondered, many who still wonder, why the church has so completely forgotten or even repudiated the example and in deed the direct command of the Master. After Instructing His dis ciples and apostles nnd demon strating to them, He commis sioned them, as thoy went out to spread His gospel and his mes sage, also to render a henling service 'He sent them to preach the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.' MQUT on second thought, and O when we know the history of what transpired later on, why this occurred becomes clear, and will be considered more fully later. It was a part, and a very important part, in the life of the little congregations that begnn to take form here and there, wher ever His disciples went. "The Master was always keen ly alive to every form of human need, and we cannot help believ ing from the meagre accounts of His life we have, that He inten tionally made the alleviation of human suffering, which took so many forms in His day, a very real portion of His ministry. "There are individuals, and there are various groups, nt whose hands it is finding a revival, and in some cases a very significant nnd vital revival, among His fol lowers of today, in our own and in many other countries."
