If an adult needs help, and desires
It, whether man or woman, husband
or wife or child or other relative or an
acquaintance, there are two ways of
administering 1t, viz, Cd during
sleep and voicing the suggestion" if
convenient and practicable; (2) dur
ing sleep or at any time by merely
projecting the thought, thus having it
reach the subjective mind without be-
ing cogniZed. at the time, by the OBJ
iective mind This, of course, is d.
rected telepathic communication and
can be used for one that is near or
in sight or miles away. The soul takes
no cognizance Of space or distance.
So-called absent treatment" is in
cluded in the foregoing. Absent
treatment" is all right when properly
and honestly used. It has been great
ly ridiculed in consequence of it's mis-
use, j. G., it has brought wealth to a
few persons who have gulled their vic
tins by charging them SO much per"
for treatments which have never been
given, except in typewriter formula
that were previously prepared for all
cases of similar nature; the results,
when such there are, being due to the
auto-suggestion Of the subject, not to
any specially directed effort of the
healer. In thousands of cases the
healer" knew nothing of the condi-
ton of the patient, knew nothing of
the patient and did not come in touch
with him at any time but simply
touched" him for so much month.
There is no doubt that wonderful
potency exists in projected thought
vibrations when emanating from a
highly trained mind
These suggestions" for adults in
clude every variety known, being as
many and various as are the desires
or needs. If the suggestions" are
properly made in the proper spirit and
with sufficient faith, there is nothing
within the bounds of reason that will
not yield. This applies to any habit

cure such harmonious conditions, such
condolences that cannot be secured in
any other way.
A good old Scotch lady in Cleve-
land said to me: Il have a son, a
young man, who is, at present, home
from college. He is unlike any other
OF my children. He has never made
a confdante of me. l cannot go to
his room to talk to him when he is
asleep. / cannot even approach him
on the subject when he is awake.

sired results"

the family were together in the even
ing, each employed as taste might die
tate She should be apparently Occu-
pied--reading, for instance-but, in
fact, really occupied in holding the
thought, with faith believing in it's ul-
innate success.
She did as suggested This was the
thought she held: Il have never con-
fided in mother (the thought held in
first person, singular). l know
should. i will have a talk with her.
Yes, l will"
This thought, held by the mother
for her son, became a prayer tan
earnest desire Of the hearO. She
dwelt upon it when in his presence.
The thought found Judgment in his
subjective mind. 1t presented itself
to his objective mind as an earnest
desire on his part. He obeyed the
promptings. Her prayer was answer
ed. The mother-love prevailed in the
silence when it would have been in
effectual through the spoken word
She reached the objective through the
subjective. This was her first at
tempt at suggestion" through
thought transference." She was sue
cessful the first night. Think of 1t!
Her first trial. Why? Because of
the power of quiescent concentration
that results from calm, unfaltering
faith
The amount of good that may be
accomplished by projecting the right
thought-waves is beyond the power Of
the human mind to conceive.
