How unreal seems the existence of the inner life!  How vain our intent to catch its meaning, and portray its deepest lessons, and yet, it is the reality.  It forms the center around which all external life revolves, from which all outward being receives its vitality and assurance of existence.  The passive soul heeds not the ever-recurring changes which its very continued life indicates, and will, when unveiled by the transforming hand of death, wonder at its wealth of life.  The conscious being, ever alert, notes the changes and the indications of ever-progressing life with delight, and awe, and a profound recognition of the law of its being which sets the star of its existence higher and higher in the heavens, and lures it on for its own perfection even unto the perfect day.  To such a soul there is little peace, or rest by the way; but it may finally learn a godlike heroism and patience which will enable it to trace its steps, and see in all its life’s experiences a sequence which is divine and beneficent.

Power is silent; power does not fume and bluster.  It holds firmly and steadily on its way, and wins by force of its resistless and relentless sway.

ROOT OF EVILS.

The most unaccountable phase of philanthropic effort put forth by good people for the help of humanity is their utter failure to apply their remedial suggestions, or helpful agencies to the real roots, or causes, of great matters needing attention.  Everything is approached and dealt with entirely from the external.  Either from ignorance or fear of the probable results to be met with upon close inspection, the beginnings, the real causes of evil doings are let alone to grow until they become unbearable.  Then comes the “hue and cry” joined in by all who seek to have wrongs righted.

Such has been, and is the “white slave evil.”  Ignorance is the cause of all evil; but the special cause of this great, terrible, devastating wrong starts with the utter lack of the education of children by their parents, especially of the necessary instruction of girls regarding their own natural functions, and their relationship to men.  The most vitally important knowledge that can ever be theirs is left entirely out of their home education, and the natural curiosity of the young left to the foolish ignorance of their young mates, or of designing underlings.

Woman is the magnet that draws souls to this life.

BEST IN CHANCE.

There is no method so surely successful in barring the progress of the soul as that of permitting a prejudice for one phase, or presentation of occult law to so blind the perceptions of the mind as to cause it to entirely disregard all such views as are not already set forth, and accepted.
