Now Reader, what Is your opinion
as to the real use the Greater has for
these things? Take a look at the ques-
ton from this point OF view
There rs a law of Mature and Of
Natures God that things slowly evolve
from lower planes TO higher, a sturdy,
steady and dignihed advance toward
more perfect things In both the Phys
ical and Spiritual world. The ponder
Gus tread OF evolutionary deyelopement
Is fixed by the Infinite and win not
be qulckened out Of natural law by
any Of mans methods
Therefore we see many Illustrations
showing how nature checks too rapid
advance Illinois raises phenomenal
crops OF corn for two or three year.
II she continued TO do so every year
her farmers would advance I'm wealth
far beyond those OF other sections or
countries. So Nature interposes a bar
every three or four year and brings
on a bad year
Here we see the leyelins influence

for a number OF years and grows rich.
Then Nature sets the "leyeling innu-
ence" at work on him. Some Of his
investments lose he becomes luxur-

then comes the wreck, Sure Sure,

The law OF the unit Is the law Of
the mass. Man goes through the same
process. Weakness (ln childhood),
gradual growth Of strength. energy,
thrift, probity. prosperity wealth COM

Only now and then can a man stand

so the Greater has use Tor Whisky
Tobacco and Coffee to level down the
successful ones and those who show
signs OF being successful and keep
them back I'm the race, so that the great
"held" (the masses) may not be left
too far behind.
And yet we must admit that same
