PARIS ASTON|SHED BY
MADAME HACKLEY.

Paris, France. March 13.-Of
the many foreign students who
have come here to study, perhaps
none of them have ever accom-
plished more than Nine. E. Azalia
Hackley, of Philadelphia Pa. who
came here little over a year ago
a perfect stranger, and unable to
speak our native language. Dur
ing that time she has studied un-
der three of our greatest masters
and repctiteurs and teachers of die.
ton. She had. been here, but a
very short time when she had won
the admiration and esteem of the
entire class, and her unusual sweet
and hexable voice, quick concep-
ton of music and aimable dispo-
sition soon placed her in position
where all students looked to her
as an authority to solve all difficult
musical problems. She was Sc
lected to lead the choral class of
the Holy Trinity Lodge Ca parish
house for English speaking wo-
men, The class is the most en-
thusiastic class here and is COM
posed of students representing
nearly every country, therefore it
may be truly called "Universal
Glass" Last June she was en-
gagged for the year beginning in
September to lead singing in the
st. Luke's Episcopal Church,
which is the only American church
in Paris, as well as teach the Sun
day School their songs.

New Thought
Review of the Various Topics Showing the Unesmated Ad
vantages to be Gained by the Their Study.

Third. The scientific value of
New Thought has a world of
value, for it is an ac-
quaintance with the laws that
govern all phenomena. 1t dis
covers not only appearance but
causes and shows their action and
interaction and reaction one upon
another on the onward march of
unfolding and development
Fourth. The value of New
Thought to the student of philos-
ply cannot help to be of the first
Importance. The student of caus-
es is always asking why such a
thing is so and so, this way or that.
New thought answers his inquiries
by showing that all things proceed
from one great and efficient cause
and when this ultimate cause
known ell things may be traced to
their origin or genesis and from
their source follow out through all
of their rami6cations to their latest
effect or result. This power alone
to the thinker of truth has no
comparison in value.
Fifth. Value of New Thought
is its psychic value. Here lies a
realm of truth and facts that has
not been touched but by few schol-
ars. The psychic phenomena has
been the mystery Of ages. People
who do not understand this de-
partment of knowledge have look
ed upon its devotees and disciples
as mystics, necromancers, witches,
enchantresses, class or sect to be
avoided and despised, not knowing
that here lies realm of knowledge
as real and useful as the knowledge
of the physical world with which
they are SO well acquainted. What
seems to them a mystery is to the
student of New Thought, fact as
plain and intellegible as any of the
ordinary facts of the material
world. Only space forbids us of
enumerating the investigations
and analysis of psychic phenome-
ma which New Thought so clearly
unfolds and explains.
Last but not least, New Thought
throws a radiant light on the relig-
ious and spiritual life of each in
dividual. Religion an experience,
a new birth, but very few have any
J idea as to how this relationship of
the soul comes into contact and
apprehends spiritual reality and
possess itself of spiritual knowl-
edge and joy of fullness and fruit,
of power and peace. New Thought
prepares the way for compre-
hensive study of the whole ques-
ton of spiritual life and its unfold
ment. 1t causes the spiritual

Special to Colorado Statesman:


Among the worlds forces for the
betterment Of a common humanity
the Y. M. G. A. idea has grown to
be second only to that of the
Christian church itself. Broad,
liberal and catholic in the spirit of
its conceptions it invites the sup
port of humanity at large and plac-
es its benefits and advantages with
in the reach of all, regardless of
creed or race.
The great strength of the Y. M.
G. A. idea lies in the vital hold it
has upon the inclinations apd af-
fections of the young manhood OF
any country. Its principles of
helpfulness and deep seated de-
sire to extend sympathy and prac-
tical aid at period of life when
influences are most potent to di-
rect the youthful talent and energy
along lines that are useful, worthy
and renumerative, are among its
functions, which if no other bene-
fits accrued, would alone justify its
existence.
When consideration is given the
many other advantages it has to
offer, the healthful, uplifting assoc
iation: the entire absence of cor
supting influences; its advocacy of
all properly healthful and manly
athletics and more than all the
full and free effacement of self
and the desire for broader. nobler
and better lives which is sure to
come to those who breathe it's at
mosphere such associations have
assuredly stamped themselves up
on our times as both necessity
and blessing to any community.
Perhaps there is no other city
in America, where conditions are
so favorable to- the successful es-
tablishing and maintaining of ian
up to the minute" Y. M. @. A. for
colored men, as Washington. The
men to be reached are here in
large numbers. The earnings OF
these men are of such pro-
portions as to permit OF theil
setting aside a liberal percon
tage for the support of the cause
Their training, intelligence and
strong moral incentive and all pc.
tent factors and furnish splendid
material for foundation upon
which to rest an imposing super
structure for association work.
The Y. nj. G. A idea for colored
men, which enjoyed brief practi-
cal prosperity here dozen or more
years ago and has since rested in
somnolent ease, was thoroughly
revived couple of years age and
has recently shown signs of active
vigorous and enduring life.
The Colorado statesman., 1907-03-30

In previous articles on this sub
ject we have spoken on "What is
New Thought?" the various New
Thought schools, and last week our
subject dealt with 1.-THE Approach
to New Thought consciousness" "
We come now to speak on the po-
lentiality and value of New
Thought truth to each individual.
We would advise that you first re-
view each one of the proceeding
articles and then carefully read
this one.
What is the value of New
Thought knowledge to the indiv!d-
ual who gives his time and efforts
to possess it? The reply would be
in general terms there is no value
by which to compare let alone to
estimate it. The value of New
Thought truth cannot be reduced
to terms of figures or computation
but we shall try to simply enumer-
ate few of the relative values.
First, In regards to health New
Thought knowledge teaches the
perfect laws in regards to anatomy,
physiology, functions, hygiene,
food, care, rest and work and in
this knowledge alone one is profit
ed a thousand fold. Many of the
ailments, physical disabilities and
troubles of humanity would be re-
moved by an intelligent and CON-
prehensive grasp of New Thought
teachings in regards to health.
Doctors bills would be saved and
happiness would respond to the in
dividual.
End The intellectual benefit to be
derived from New Thought would
be great blessing to people who
read and study. The Great Paul
speaks of certain class who are
"ever learning and never able to
come to the knowledge of the
truth" This class has not de-
creased in our day but if anything
has multiplied. Many people have
knowledge and facts, an abund-
ance of both, but have not got
their knowledge systemized and
arranged so that it may be handled
at moments notice New Thought
has its foundation in an orderly
natural and regular unfoldment OF
the mind and therefore our har.
monicus and constructive arrange
ment of the mind. In this alone
New Thought offers world of ad
vantage for our present possession
of acquired information and pre-
pares the way for logical and com.
prehensive addition and assimila-
ton of new learning. 1t makes
new learning easy and pleasant be
cause it makes it possible ane
profitable.

1t is proposed to build a $4,000
home for the Association and half
of this cost has been donated by
Mr.. Rockefeller, the condition be-
ing that the other $25, 900 shall be
raised by July of this year.
The fact that more than 1000
men attended the regular Sunday
meeting on the 18th inst, on
which occasion the President of
the Board of Commissioners for
the District, the Hon. Ell. B. F.
Mcfarland was the speaker, will
show how deep an interest the
men of Washington are taking in
this movement.
DR.. F. j. Shadd of Howard Uni
versity presided. DIR. Shadd is a
recent convert to the Y. M. G. A..
and in brief, felicitous speech
pledged his efforts and portion
of his time and money to the work.
Other features of the meeting,
were singing by the famous Tenn
pie Quartet, Messrs Joseph Will
son, Dewitt Wilson. VIM. Carter
and VIM. Cooper also several vio-
lin performances in the usual re-
fined and artistic manner of Clar-
ence Cameron White.
Mr.. Netherlands address wasya
common sense, practical, heart to
heart talk, which was highly ap-
preciated. In speaking of the pro-
posed building he said ut will
stand out before the eyes of the
whole country as your achievement
in the National Capital and with
the eyes of all men upon it, every
where in every city and town and
village throughout the country, it
will say that many of the charges
made against your people are moth
ing more than lies. 1t will repre-
sent pour thrift and industry
it will represent your generosity,
your public spirit, your civic pride
and above all it will represent your
religious devotion.
In this connection the speaker
pointed to the fact there were a
Egreat number of colored men who
had accumulated property and who
were able to contribute generously
to this worthy cause and that il
was their duty to do SO.
Mr.. Mcfarland might have EN-.
phasized this in the most positive
way, for in no other one essential
of progress is the Negro SO back.
