"V RECKON IT'S perseverance:
jes' KEEP on iivin'." said the
centenarian when the reporter
asked him how he lived TO be 80
old. retaining at the Same time good
heaith. good sense and good spirits.
In like manner perseverance, in GUST
ing evil mental attitudes and holding
fast TO pleasant ones Is the everlasting
preachment of the people whom the
popular tongue names them Moo
Thotters." Among the many confer
ences and conventions OF the spring OF
1905. few have been more noteworthy
than those OF the cult OF the new
thought. as Il is called. Its followers
hold that. back of all material objects
and happenings. the formative cause OF
things fs thought. BY getting our
thoughts just right and "in tune with
the Infinite" outward things will In
time come just right to us. The extent
to which these notions are permeating
all. classes in western world civiliza-
ton Is feature OF the times.
Some i've years ago "a number OF in
dividuals who hold 20 this doctrine met
In New York city and formed what IL
called the New Thought alliance. This
organization has society I'm Boston

Another distinguished uphoIder of
the system is the poet. Ella Wheeler

Its most ardent disciples declare that
by pursuing the new thought route. at
the same time constantly regarding
ourselves as one with the infinite
power. we may lift ourselves above
poverty, sickness and unhappiness
But we must follow this scheme per
