Equivalent TO Miracles.

About the Mind Cure.

advanced theosophist yesterday. He
claims for certain Boston theosophists
that they have discovered many OF the Sc
crets Of "adepthood," or, as some might
term It, ''msgic.n But he makes no mys-
terry Of necromancy about It, simply as
sorting that results equivalent to mira
cles can and viii be soon wrought through

mental training; that such power con.

and that some of the relative possibilities
Of such training will be the reiuvenation
OF the body, the attainment OF a perpe.-

old age or the loss OF any power
mental or physical; but, on the contrary,
a steady increase, as well as the reallza-

an almost instantaneous resting and re-
cuperation Of mind and body at any time
during our waking hours--no matter how
great the fatigue.

"Simply by inducing the passive state
OF mind. In other words, by ceasing to
think OF anything for few moments. In

into ones self. People have no idea how
much strength they expand In simply
thinking. Every thought represents an
outlay OF force. People think ten thou

daily, which had better not have been
thought at all. Now, this withdrawal
into ones self rests the interior being.
