Natures Law of Justice
Continued from page one.)

There are many objections that are
raised to the doctrine of Reincarnation,
for instance, it is frequently asked: eff
we have been here so often before, why
don't we remember our past lives ="
The physical brain does not reincarnate,
that only belongs to one life; but thru
this brain the true man, the soul works,
incarnation after incarnation. The
personality, John Doe, does not REIN
carnate; but what does reincarnate is
the individuality, the immortal thinker,
which ensouls John Doe. The charac-
ter with which John Doe came into the
world has been wrought out by this
indweIling Ego, which is the true man.
1t has had many past life, in many
lands, under many civilizations.
When John Doe dies-as we call it
that is when the soul throws off his
Outermost covering that character en-
dures, and is the richer or the poorer,
the nobler or the baser, for its last ten
ancy in the physical body. The soul
or thinker of John Doe remembers,
and his memory acts as intuition and
conscience. A highly developed man
has not to learn that it is wrong to tell
lies, he knows it. He has not to learn
that it is wrong to steal, he knows it,
without having to 60 thru the unpleas-
ant experience this time of being put
into prison for theft. He'has not to
learn that it is right TO be kind, and
loving and unselfish. he knows it, for it
is the fruit of his past.
John Doe can 80 train himself that
he can recover many memories Of his
past lives, by living pure life, and by
daily aspiring to live in his soul con-
seriousness. He must realize his true
self, not IS something outside of him.
bat as himself, and his personality as
the instrument which he, the soul uses.
The training is slow and difficult, bat
there comes time when flashes from
the past will illumine his lower con-
seriousness; until, in time, he realizes
fully his heritage, and henceforth, his
life will be lived for Eternity, and not
for fieeting Time. A. III. T.

Running Away From Life.

To fight life's battles one must
keep close to the firing line. Pain,
sorrow, worry, and trouble must
be vanquished at close range.
They must be conquered; they
cannot be ignored, they cannot be
deserted. Running away from
self is running away from life. 1t
is as foolish as trying to dodge
ones shadow. A man cannot get
divorce from himself; he might
as we'll realize this and make him.
self as likeable companion for
himself as he can.
Thousands in the world today
are seeking amusement, travel dis
traction, and change of scene; not
new wisdom to cure wound nor
new strength to bear it, but mere
ly some way to deaden pain. They
are seeking not peace but tempo
rary oblivion, not self-conquest,
bat eelf-forgetfulness. They are
taking emotional chloroform,
which, like all opiaies, has dan
gerous reaction.
The swiftest engine in the
world cannot carry US away from
a grief that holds our very heart
in it's close, deadening pressure.

No matter how rapidly the mile
stones are whizzed backward, we
cannot escape the pain. It is
still with us; it is smuggling close
by our side and is eclipsing all the
beauties of life and nature around
us by it's dull, insistent note.
The magic spell of music may
carry us for a little out OF our
selves, may temporarily fill our
hearts with rest, calm, and peace.
may silence the voice of conscious
ness of forsaken duty or an un-
conquered pain; but unless the
music inspires us with the wine of
new purpose, the vital impelling
courage to act as we should, it has
been no real help.
If we could pack our worries
and manifestations restless imps
that feed on our happiness and
starve our souls-in storage with
our furniture, before we set out on
a travel tour, change Of scene
might be of real value to us, before
a mental refreshening and a moral
re-birth. But if our worries are
going to camp out in our state
room at night, and loom so large
before us that they shut out our
view of the Alps and darken the
skies of sunny Spain-why, We
really might as well have fought
the battle out at home.
Society is another Of these by
paths to mental oblivion. We
might imagine that six nights
week in evening dress would, of
itself, Danish our sorrow or stifle
our secret grief. But what is the
use of it all if, when the evening
clothes are removed, we find our
selves still in the unremoved
strait jacket of memories we
would give aught in the world to
escape forever?
There are times when we must
just stand still and face life as it
is. If our sorrow be inevitable we
must bear it bravely so that we
may bear it easier. If We can get
salvage or hope from the wreck of
failure we are lessening the loss.
Fighting may help; flight never.
Our environment is 80 largely the
radiation of our individuality that
we can never truly desert it. Run
ming away from life is merely a
towards useless alibi.-Ex.

educational side of the eociety's
work should, in the opinion of the
writer, be broadened and strength
ened. While this recommends
ton may not appeal to all with
equal force it must be remembered
that it is by the union of many
motives and aims that make our
meetings interesting and instruct
i've to every one.
It is because of the uncertain
character of mental equipment
possessed by applicants that the
membership has not been increas-
ed to 36, which is the limit per-
mitted. A belief that compare
lively small membership with an
even average in mental calibre and
attainment is much more desirable
from every standpoint than a
larger circle having greater pro-
portion of members unable to as
sist or appreciate the necessity Of
maintaining high standard of
literary excellence, is one that has
the unqualified support of the
Warden and is, I believe, shared
by a majority of our members.
1t is with much pleasure that
the president testifies to the valu-
able assistance and unfsiling sup
port given him by the vice presi-
dent and secretary in all matters
wherein co operation was essential
to successful accomplishment. It
is also a pleasure to remember
with expressions of praise and
gratitude the important duty per-
formed by our worthy critics. The
president is not unmindful of their
aid in making our meetings sue
cess and herewith extends his
deep and grateful appreciation Of
their work.
This report would be incom-
plete without proper acknowl-
edgement of the cheerful and un-
selfish contributions made by our
musical members at our meetings
that have added so much pleasure
TO our programs. We express the
hope that this feature will be con-
tipued and strengthened. The
interest of our Warden in the
successful accomplishment of the
Chautauqua has been a source Of
encouragement to all members Of
our circle and it is with much
pleasure that the president bears
witness to his indebtedness to the
Warden. Deputy Warden and AS
sistant Deputy Warden for their
support and hearty cooperation
given him during the past year.
In conclusion, sincere thanks
are rendered the members of the
Pierian Circle for their cordial
support, and the presidents last
word is to express the hope that
the coming year may prove equal
ly pleasant, profitable and enjoy
able, as the one now passing into
the depth of Pierian history.

The Presidents
Annual Report.

]
is brought to a close. In review
ling this period the president will
touch lightly upon past events
concerning the work of the circle,
dealing with what has been &C.
complished and attempted, and
Offering a few suggestions that he
hopes may prove of benefit to all
concerned. The year now past
has been a most notable one in
the history of the Pierian Circle.
It may be said without fear of
contradiction that the range of
subjects presented, covering in
scope the fields of art, science,
history, literature and debate with
attendant intelligent discussion
thereon, is unequalled oy any 9TH
er society with a like environ
ment.
The program presented at each
meeting dealing with one or more
of the subjects previously men,
toned has been of great educa-
tional benefit to every individual
member of our circle. The dis
cussion following every paper has
been full and free, being a feature
to be encouraged and maintained.
The work of the past year is
rendered conspicuous by partici-
patton of several members in the
production of a successful mln-
strel show given in the chapel for
the benefit of all connected with
this institution. As the initiative
was taken exclusively by men,
bers of the circle it is fair and
right that it's success should be
credited to the circle. Equally
worthy of mention is the splendid
program presented at the close of
the first quarter when the Warden
honored the circle with his pres
ence and won from him words of
praise and encouragement. These
two examples of our work are
cited from many that were merit
orious and are mentioned to pro-
mote further efforts along this
line-a more sustained esprit de
corps being essential to a high de-
gree Of success.
The ever present question of
maintaining full quota of men,
bers is one of the most perplex-
ing as we'll as vexatious problems
that confrouts the president. At
the beginning of our last year the
membership was 30. By reason
of discharge, parole or personal
reasons the membership fell to Is
the circle losing at this time
several of it's oldest and best
members. In spite of the earn
est efforts of the officers of the cir
Gle and the enrolment Of many
new members it was several
months before the membership
rose above Is. The number to-
day on our rolls is q.
It is we'll understood that
larger membership is desirable as
it increases the interest of our
meetings and affords a greater
field from which to secure volun-
teers in time Of need. In justice
to the president and committee
on mem bership it should be re-
membered to their credit that they
have reported favorably on all ap-
plications for membership where
the applicant could furnish some
proof of his ability to deal intelii-
gently with SUBJECTS suitable for
presentation before the circle. 1t
must be evident ito all that only
by enforcing some test as to mem
tai equipment can the standard of
intellect now present in the circle
be maintained in the future. In
