Poetry



Be not content. Contentment means i~nactiOn;
The growing soul aches on its upward quest.
Safety is the twin to satisfaction;
Ali great achievements spring from life's
unrest.
The tiny roots, deep in the dark mould hiding,
Would never bless the earth with leaf and
flower
Were not an Unborn restlessness abiding
In seed and germ, to stir them with Its power.
Were man cOntented with his lot forever,
He had not sought strange seas with sail un-
furled;
And the vast wonder of our shores had never
Dawled on the gaze of an admir1ng world.
Prize what is yours, but be not quite cOntented;
There is q healthful r~estlessness OF soul
By which a mighty purpose is augmented,
In urging men to reach a higher goal.
So when the restless impulse rises, driving
Your calm content before it, do not gr1eVe;
1t is the upward reaching and the striving
OF the God in you, to achieve, achieVe!
Ella Wheeler WNcOT.

the history of the world. Many Of
their cries are inconsistent and absurd.
Many of them know not what they
want, nor do they know their own
friends. They blunder. They stumble.
But they are still moving forward.
They are being swept forward by the
tide of an age movement Of the masses
upward. It cannot be stayed. It may
be impeded for a time. If so, it will
halt only as the food halts in the mar
row gorge. Every moment of delay
only piles ton on ton of pressure back
of the obstruction. At last the Obstruc-
ton will break and with the hiss and
boom and roar Of a Niagara the food
will bear everything before, resistless
In its furious sweep.
Federation is the order of the day.
Capital learned this secret years ago.
By it the economic world was mas
tered and made capitalistic. The labor
ing world is now learning federation,
and whenthey have thoroughly learned
it the battle of the ages will be fought
between the federated giants. Private
Millions of Dollars against the Coop
Grating Millions of Wealth Producers.
The result of that conflict, I firmly be-
lieve, will be Liberty, not Slavery.
Equality in opportunity instead of
Despair; Fraternity and Humanity in
stead of War and Brutality. May God
hasten such a day. Followers of Jesus
of Nazareth, where will you stand in
this struggle of the race9 Let us hear
in this hour his voice:

lose it,"
Bear ye one another his burdens"

you, That We love one another"

wont to call it; and according to the
measure wherein he escapes it, he con-
siders himself fortunate and su 3cees-
full. Upon this force is continually
pressing the alternative of choice-a
responsibility man would fain shift
upon some one else. Disappointed in
the event, he calls it "for the best, ~
which is but another way of saying
that he cannot help himself. Upon
the relative everywhere depends the
resistless movement which we call de-
velopment-that mill Of the gods,
which, however slowly it may grind,
is perpetually revolving old things into
new.
Here, then, IS the parting of the
ways Either a certain rule of con
duct is right because every other rule
is wrong, or it is right because among
all rules il appears to be the one least
wrong. Along these diverse ways pro-
coed the moral movements of the a
the change of which from one to the
other always constitutes an epoch in
history. AS to which principle makes
the more for morality, both in in the
ideal and In realization thereof, men
have never been able to agree; and all
the less, because each principle, separ-
ate1y, has inspired some of the most
moral types of the ace
For their own peace, if not for the
peace of others, an absolute criterion
of duty appears indispensable to those
deficient in the quality Of self-reliance,
and unhappily absoluteness is INSOFAR
able from authority; and they who are
in authority are seldom proof against
moral d~egeneracy, if their authority
be prolonged, and the state of society
admits.
The conception of the relative as a
principle of thought and action can
exist only in minds that have under
gone a certain degree of development.
Re~lativeness, therefore, while a ruling
principle in fact, never has been a rul-
ing principle in theory with the ma
jority of mankind.
What, then, is morality, this pre-
server of individuals, of families, Of
nations, and of civilizations9 1t is that
conduct which makes most towards
the development of our higher powers
the active exercise of that inward
sense which assures us that the doing
of what we conceive to be right does
either please an infinite intelligence, or
help forward what ought to be, in
place of what is. Every civilization
in which mans chief end is the graft
fcation of sense has ultimately given
way to one wherein man magnifies the
fortifying virtues, in other words-to
one wherein man is more moral.-AI-

FIVE SOULS WITH BUT A SINGLE THOUGHT.
The investigation of the psychical
faculties Of animals is comparable to
a journey into fairy-land. We do not
know, and according to Du Bois-Ray-
mond we shall e know, how
own mental activity has originated;
yet in spite of this we deliberately
form theories and opinions concerning
the psychical powers and faculties of
other beings, that in point of nervous
organization are perhaps altogether
different from us. But when we g
an animal perform before Our eyes pur-
posive acts, and we recognize that u
own thought operates in accordance
with definite, rigorous laws; we shall
still have to say to ourselves that a com
parative animal psychology is, after all,
not necessarily so hopeless a thing as
one might be led to believe from the
bold, and yet faint-hearted ~'Ignora-
bimus" of the distinguished Berlin
psychologist. And, as a matter OF
fact, the range of insight obtained in
very recent times in this very field is
highly encouraging. On this occasion
I should like to select for discussion,
one of the most remarkable of ques-
tions, that, namely, which concerns
the psychical activity of m~Gny-souted
animals.
O,,i+o q ctir uoC made COOoo wears
ago in scientific circles, when Haeckel
began to philosophize about the souls
of cells, or so-called plastidule souls;
for it was patent that the course of life
in the individual single cell of an ami
NAL or vegetable body, flowed on in
such strict conformity with reason,
that it was logically necessary to post
the presence of psychicaI guidance in
the instance in question as much as in
the case of composite cellular colonies
in higher organic beings-especialy
since every single. one of these COM
posite organs begins its life as a simple
cell, from which the others afterwards
spring.
But let us pass by these subtle spec
ulatiOns to turn to a class of animals,
in the case of which we may speak
with more propriety than in the case
of zoophytes of a plural soul, since
physically and psychically they act in
every respect as if they had grown to
gether out of five or more individuals

and the Star-fsh ~(Asteroidea) in par
ticular.

portant for present discussion, and
