1.-THE MIND CURE.
Some Of the Principles Upon Which II
IL Based.

Especial Corrcspondence.l
Boston, Aug. 16-Nothing Just now at
tracts so much attention as the mind cure,
and nothing could possibly be more difficult
of explanation. Ii seems to be one Of those
things that must be absorbed rather than
learned; it can be better understood than eK-
planned by its advocates. Even the teachers
of it can talk hours without uttsring anything
an anxious listener can take hold Of and make
practical DIR. W. F. Evans, the great head
Ii hit Of mental Therapeutics, in his latest
work, ~Esoteric Christianity" says:
As sickness and health are opposite and
contradictory states and cannot both be pre-
dicted of a man at the same time, if we can
cause him 10 perceive and feel that he
is not sick, he must feel that he is well, for
one must he true. We have all read many
times the story OF certain medical students
making man in health sick by causing him
to think and believe that he is sick In the
phrenophatic method of cure We simply re,
verse this process, and make the man well by
inducing him to think himself well; not that
we would deny the fact of the disease as
state of his consciousness, but simply that the
immortal ego. the spiritual entity and real
man, is neither diseased nor unhappy. The
below, or what means the same, is external to
the mdn-the essentially human nature and
principle. How We may best effect this radi-
cal change in an invalids way of thinking of
himself is question Of supreme mo
ment, and one which We are called
upon TO answer. It is to be done
by the simple power Of thought, uttered in
appropriate words or symbolic signs or unex-
pressed. There is living force and saving
energy in thought 1t is thought which shapes
and governs the worlds and it is our thoughts
which mold our fate, for thought and exist
ence are one.
In treating patient by the mental meth
cd, with kindly positive and affirmative at
titude of mind, We are steadfastly to think
the truth in regard TO his inner self, and
maintain in our minds the correct idsd of
ourselves and of him; and the silent sphere of
our minds, according TO the law Of thought
transference, VAL influence him in degree
proportioned to his susceptibility"

THE POTENCY OF MUST
Our Professor of Metaphysics Reads
Chapter.

Especial CorrsspOndcncel
BosTON, Aug l6-The word must says
our professor Of practical metaphysics, has,
If frequently thought Of and spoken in con
nectiOn with your business plans, "A magical
power for making those plans succeed, BE-
cause this word is the symbol Of the thought
of power, Of force, of demand, of impOrtu-
nifty. When you say, This thing MUST lie
done" you create for yourself mood OF
mind which is ever attracting more power to
push your plan forward The MUST mood Of
mind will inevitably attract to you Others
who have MUST" in them. You will win
their confidence as they find MUST in you.
Confidence between man and man in trade
means both cash and credit
The mood for bringing success most quickly
is not the mood of beseeching, or supplicating,
or wishing, or begging. 1t is the legal mood
OF MUST. Don't say, Il wish / had better
house, better fare, better surroundings than
those now have" Say lin mind, Il MUST
have better, keep your eye on the best. Look
critically on the finest things of this world
so you can judge well of their quality, know.
ing that the MUST mood will bring them to
you When it does, you will then know how
TO make the best selection.
The thought of MUST will ever push you on
toward the thing you say you MUST have,
1t will keep bringing to you new plans,
schemes and devices TO get that thing. Such
plaLs need not be those Of trickiness or de
ceit. The power generated in you through
an impeTious aspiration is a power coming OF
the elements Ii robs no man. II makes you
richer, and all others richer. II you say: Il
MUST have this or that thing through DECEIT
full methods, you employ an inferior power
of must. If you say: Il must have it
through dependence on the bounty Of
others or their endurance Of me as
beggar," you employ also the inferior
power Of must. You then get the thing
you desire but it comes with a shackle; the
shackle of the lie You told in some way to get
il or the shackle of living on another
bounty. Mind, through the imperious and
imperial mood Of MUST, can draw 10 itself
every really good thing. When you fling
yourself back on your own power, your own
MUST, the thing desired comes to stay. II
you depend on any one else, or, in other
words, on the inferior power of must, the
thing will come, but not to stay.
The more you think MUST and mean it
the moro will power come to you. The
thought Of must will ever push your body On
to new eyertion. 1t is not the body that wins
this fight, it is the silent thought kept in the
mind You will grow at last to a complete
faith in the power coming of this thought
You will then know how faith can really re
move mountains" II is the silent power of
must that cuts through the hills, digs canals
and builds railroads. 1t is MUST that is to do
more wonderful things than these Keep the
thought Of must ever III mind and you are
sending from you a real force which Is at
work for you when you sleep, when you eat,
when you play. So says our professor.

he was made managing editor in 1871 On
account of his excellent work he was sent as
war correspondent TO the Russo Turkish war,
and furnished that paper with their brilliant
specials on war topics In 1873 he became
connected with The Baltimore Gazette, and
in 1879 he went to st. Louis as managing ed
itor Of The Post Dispatch. When Mr. Pulit-
Ger purchased The World in 1888 he selected
Col COckerill as the best man in his judg-

who does little else than attend 10 this class,
and it Is a light day indeed when two or

a number of cranks 20 Washington, and
every new event SEEMS TO turn out a new
class When Garfield died the cranks were
more numerous here than they have been at
any time since then, AMI they seem Ia in
crease or diminish in proportion To the noto-
riety which any Of their number attain.
The White House cranks are more numer-

They come here on foot and un the cars, and
some of them look as gentlemanly and talk as
plauSibly as many of our congressman. One
class Is represented by the man who is carry
