Audubon a Missouri Grocer.

1t Is not generally remembered that
the worldwide reputation of Audu-
bon as a naturalist, incidentally, is
due to his failure to establish himself
permanently as Missouri grocery
merchant and dealer in the best
brands of Kentucky whisky.
In 1910 he and Ferdinand Rozier,
of Ste. Genevieve, loaded a keelboat
at Louisville, KY, with 80 barrels
of whisky and groceries and started
down the Ohio and Mississippi to Ste.
Genevieve to open grocery store.
The trip was made during the winter,
and the streams were so full of ice
that the beat was drawn up against
the bank and winter quarters were
established just below Cape Girar.

HOW TO LOVE
AND AVOID DIVORCE.
Bishop FalIows Has q Remedy
to Unite Estrangsd Wives and
Husbands.

Bishop Samuel Fallows, OF the Re-
formed Episcopal Church, who found
ed Christian Psychology, has taken
ano. ler plunge into the occult. He
announces remedy to unite estranged
husbands and wives and kill off the
divorce evils 1t Is to be done by
suggestion and auto-suggestion. He
told all about 1t in an address on the
Psychology of Doubt.
The Bischop declared he had used
the method successfully. He also
gave an instance in which 1t had been
used by a Chicago lawyer to prevent
a divorce between man and wife.
To begin with, when man or woman
desires to win back his or her mate,
the mind must be kept in a receptive
condition. The Bishop continues:
zone cannot believe unless he puts
himself in the position to believe;
one cannot love unless one puts him.
self In the position to love; one can
not continue to love unless one wills
to continue to love. OF course, we
cannot will to love and then love, or
will to believe and then believe.
What the will can do is to create
by auto-suggestion a will in this sub
consciousness to continue in love or
to believe. This l make use of in my
efforts to reunite people who have
entered into the holy bonds of matri-
mony and who think that they have
ceased to love each other. / have
never before made public what l say
in these private conversations, but
will do so tonight to illustrate my
point.
THE first thing to do when one of
these persons comes to me thinking
that he or she has ceased to love is
to set the will in operation to bring to
the sub-consciousness a consciousness
of the past. 1t is idle to say, You
must love one another No amount
of will can bring that about; but the
will can summon recollection.
II say to the troubled one, if a
woman. Go back over your whole
life. Go back and reflect on the time
that you were being wooed and won.
Did you take great magnifying glass
then to look for faults? We're you
happier than now? They say that
love is blind, but this is to be taken
In a limited sense as blind to faults.
Nothing in the whole world Is more
keen sighted to see good qualities.
You are blind to the good and taking
a magnifying glass to the faults. Go
back into the past and think of the
way you sacrificed and toiled to make
the home. Recall the good times you
have had together
"In this way is created by auto
suggestion the will to continue in
love, which may prove more power
full than the false belief that they
cannot love.
This same method can bring about
marriage"
Bishop Fallows concluded with
these epigrams
Love once and you must love al
ways. Love cannot be killed once il
Is instilled. There is no earthly
power that can make two people fall
in love with each other. If two peo-
pie really love each other once that
love can always be revived. Deep in
their hearts they will always love
one another. Divorces are but the
climaxes of half-hearted battles"
