Or. Frederick Van Eeden. the Dutch
physician and author. always kept IN
sight the injustice Of fate that sub
jects the poor to tortures from which
the rich are exempt. He told the fol-
lowing bitter little anecdOte. which
occurred during his student days in
Amsterdam:
Once poor man was brought IN

disease of the spine that caused him.

Jump and to continue hopping when ne
tried to stand on his legs. Our pro
lessor wanted to show this to his stu
dents. and he requested the patient to
stand on his feet. The poor man
looked ut the crowd around and SAID
with Il pathetic. imploring look:

laugh" The professor promised they
would be serious.
And yet when the man began to
hop the gentlemen" roared. And

Secret societies are SO ancient that
their origin is lost in the mists Of the
past. They existed in Egypt. Persia.
India. ut the earliest times with
which history or legend gives us any
insight. 1t seems to be natural for
men to organize such societies for both
good and evil purposes. Nearly all the
ancient religions were Of Il two faced
character. popular and secret. or. as
they are called. "esoteric" and "ex-
oteric." the first for the few. the in
itiated. the second for the rank and
file. The philosophers would teach one
thing to the masses Of the people and
another to the select few who made up
the Inner circle" Cicero tells us that
the wise men of Rome and Greece be-
lieved quite differently from the COM
mon run of Greeks and Romans.
