questions of eager men and
women-especially women-regarding
New Thought
What Is this new philosophy Of
asked. Where can we learn about it?
What can we read? What must we
do to understand it?'

England, lacking the spirit of the sim

for more tangible faith, more prac-

deep, earnest, persistent longing goes
up from a human heart, some response
Is made in time from the Invisible
Source of Supply. When many minds

woman, DR.. Julia Seaton Sears. Mrs.
Sears did not know why she felt such
powerful desire to go to London.
She was a stranger there. She had
more work to do in America than it

voice, and every hour of her DAYS was
nlled with successful speaking, writ
Ing, teaching and healing.

London, and to London she went last
autumn to spend those most inclement
months Of the year in the worst win

And she did this in face of the fact
that she was born in a family where
every member was expected to die of
tuberculosis, out of respect to ances-
tors. and after having been told Years
