Theosophy and New Psychology


We are talking all the time of
this New Psychology; but the un-
derstanding of that is nothing, is
but as ii We're. child's play TO those
who are working for the evolution
of these higher and nobler facu!-
ties. For there is only one motive
that makes the strength the cour-
age and perseverance TO FOLLOW this
toilsome road to its end. and that
channel of the Divine will in evo-
luton. You may tread part of that
way with the desire 10 serve your
separate self; you may find some.
thing of courage, endurance, and pa.
tience by the prizes of power held
out to you along the path But this
also will fail as the difficulties
grow greater; for the man who fixes
his thoughts on power for the sep
anted self is working against the
Divine will which works for unity,
and although he may become splen-
didly intellectual, although he may

Things That We Shall See


To The Ardmoreite:
The Boys Corn Clubs, which you
are encouraging, are bigger things
than most people dream of They
suggest possibilities for this coun-
try that would shock our o,d moss
back farmers were we to attempt
to tell the half of them. If mere
boys can force an acre of our land
to produce from one to two hun
dred bushels of corn, the object
lesson will not be lost on even
our old razor back" breed of peo-
pie in this country who delight
to call themselves farmers.
That man will be considered
simpleton indeed, who will be con
tent with from ten to twenty bush
els to the acre, wnen the boys
around him are beating him ten
fold. These contests among the boys
are going to revolutionize this
country Think what will happen
when the average is increased from
15 bushels per acre to five times
that amount.
And this is only a starter. Our
present methods on the farm will
in a little while be as Far out Of
date as the OK mill and the flint
lock gun. The possibilities of our
soil have hardly been dreamed of
yet.
One acre of our best land set
in alfalfa will bring more money
than all the crops which many of
our so-called farmers can raise on
10 acres by present methods. And
We have not begun yet to improve
our great staple that all the world
must have. Instead of skimming
over three or four acres each year
TO get one bale of cotton, we will
be gathering three or four bales
from each acre. The same will be
true of wheat, oats. barley and all
feed crops.
And when it comes to fruits, ber-
ries and vegetables, there is hardly
any limit to our possibilities. Even
our worn out, washed off, hillside
timbered lands, that are thought
worthless, will under a system OF
intelligent culture, take on new life.
They will be set in those crops
which draw from the air those ele-
ments now wanting in the soil, and
will be among our most profitable
lands.
The fact is, We have here, the
crude materials that will satisfy ey-
cry want, AMI crafty every desire
of a dense population, and a spirit
OF development, such as is suggest
cd by the Corn Clubs will bring

all these products are prepared for
the markets of the world, and where
there will be employment for all
the surplus brain and Drawn the
country can furnish.
All this is coming, and we will
not have to wait for it until all
the old mossbacks are dead. Our
coming industrial awakening, will
make even them useful. They will
be irresistiblY borne along with
the advancing procession, and will
soon catch the step and swell the
enthusiasm.
Our children are being taught in
the schools, the possibilities of our
soil, and the best methods of bring
Ing them out, and a better day is
coming.

towns to help such matters along,
as baseball is one of the greatest

The promoters of Ardmore have
been at quite an expense already,

to see some good baseball in Ard

Anthea hesitated but, after all, he was gone and
nobody could hear; and Small Porges was so very
SMALL and who could resist the entreaty in his big,

sudden gesture of abandonment, she leaned forward in

manly, small shoulder.
"Yes!" she whispered.

Anthea grew suddenly hot with shame and
nightly angry with herself and would
straightway have given the world to
have it unsaid; the more so, as she felt
Small Porges' clasp tighten joyfully,
something like triumph in his look.
