social illness and prescribed the rem
edy. After a brief statement of the
evils that afflict society at the pres
eH4 time he directed the attention OF

tisn of substance to time and place.
Mind, energy and matter are the three
powerful elements Of nature. Sub

form. Energy is the force that moves
aid arranges atoms and molecules into
form. Mind directs energy TO the in
telligent construction Of form. Mind,
therefore builds inert matter into form
aid continually directs its every
movement and operation. Life Is en-
tirely q mental process, Thds is the
OILY creative process that has ever
taken place and 1t Is as active now as
it ever has been.
Sub conscious mind-the intelligent
creative force within us--is directed
bt the dominant ideas that we hold
osir belief. All progress is due TO
ar increasing knowledge of facts, not
mere beliefs We have now reached
a stage in evolution that enables us
to consciously and intelligently direct
THE creative force in developing hap
pier and healthier body.
"This cannot be done, however, as
long as the mind is in bondage to fear.
Tn our dominant ideas are the result
OF fear Of evil evil will be the result.
IL they are based upon trust in the
ALL pervading goodness Of nature, the
result will be in accordance. As we
SOW so shall we reap.
