nOnexistence, it only changes from one
form into another. In physical eXer-
ton one can easily trace the change
from muscular force into some other
form, but in mental eXertion it is not
SO easy. We think thought, and
where or into what form goes the force
that accompanies that thought? Per-
haps that thought has consumed as
much life force as it would take in
muscular eXertion to detach the one
pound weight from the powerful mag
net. But where has it and the accom-
panying thought gone? Who has ever
seen thought? Who has ever put the
force accompanying thought under
microscope and analysed it? If no one
has ever accomplished either of these
feats, there are those who have in other
ways succeeded IN learning something
of the hidden force of a thought after
it has left the brain of the thinker In
what ways? Let us see. l first mention
telepathy as one of the surest means
through which we have learned some
thing of the hidden force of thought
after it has passed from the brain of
its thinker.
| believe it is now established beyond
a doubt that thoughts may be trans
ferred from one mind to another with
out the agency of recognized organs of
sense. The hidden force in AS brain
causes change or movement of mOli
cules accompanied by thought, the
thought is transferred to BIS brain and
when B thinks it, there is of necessity
a change in his brain. Between these
two brains there must exist train of
physical changes, in short, between
these two brains there must have been
the hidden force of thought. All
that was necessary to cause that
hidden force to be accompanied by
thought was for it to strike the sensi-
tive brain of B. Beyond all question
the hidden force of all human thoughts
is radiated off into the universe or sur
rounding media, and l would call your
attention to the inconceivable amount.
In summing up believe it is safe to
say, that we are not only surrounded
by thousands, perhaps millions of hid
den forces-but that they pass through
us also. Let me close by reading an
experience Elizabeth Cady Stanton had
with Hidden Force:

with gas, bright fire in the CRATE,
everything looking fresh, clean and
attractive. Being very tired, 1 lost no
time in going to bed. AS usual I left
the gas burning, and looked under the
bed and in the closet to see that neither
men nor cats were anywhere concealed.
i was soon sound asleep, when sudden
ly found myself in the strong grasp
of powerful man. At the same in
slant cry OF despair rent the air, an
agonized voice shrieked, "Oh, save me.
mother! Save mew Terribly fright
ened, sprang from the bed in horror.
But all was still | searched the room
in vain. No one was there, the gas was
still burning, the door locked, every
thing as left it on going to sleep. So
l concluded the terrible experience |
had just had must have been night
mare, and as | was thoroughly tired by
my long journey of the previous day,
my excitement was soon overcome and
[ feel asleep again. Only few mo-
ments had elapsed, however, when l
again felt the clutches of those desper-
ate arms, and my ears were filled with
the sound of that piercing shrek: "Oh,
save me, mother! Save mew Again |
shook off the horror, and, fully awake,
convinced myself that [ was alone, and
that no one had entered my room.
Gradually | grew calm, and then, from
sheer exhaustion, slept once more. My
rest was as brief as before, for in an
instant, it seemed, the grip was around
me and the voice tore at my veay heart
strings: "Oh, save me, mother, save
mep'
1t is useless to rehearse the contin-
ued torture of that night. Suffice it to
say that with the dawn only, it ceased.
When the maid came to make the
fire, she said: GLOW did you sleep,
MADAME" 1 replied, 81 have had a
night of intense suffering" "Oh," cried
she. bursting into tears, 81 told them
not to put you in this room. A man
died here yesterday with delirium tire
mems. His cries could be heard over
the whole house. For days his con-
slant appeal was: ooh, save me, mother!
Save mep" l.. B.
