BY DR.. NJ. |. GATES

by his lecture one week ago, Dr. Gates
will deliver a second lecture on Vital
Science next Thursday at the public
library in this city. beginning at $500

Heaven or He'll
Since the dawn OF history moffoes
have sought to unveil the mystery OF
their existence and to gain dominion
over their individual environment. THE
belief has been instilled into the hui
man mind that mankind Is at the
mercy OF many powers. all seeking to
bring upon him bodily harm and suf-
fering, or even to accomplish his total
destruction.
The search for q means of relief
from this disheartening condition has
been almost without exception. along
pure material lines and through theor-
les and systems the development Of
which has followed the belief that
matter holds within itself the power
and intelligence to cause or cure the
Ills and discords OF body and mind.
These material views have necessarily
the conclusion that deliverance must
come II at all through material
science, but there must be something
wrong in the philosophy that inter-
prets life in a way that men and wo-
men sour on the world before they
have reached even middle life. They
tell us that nothing interests them
much and they prove their words by
an indifference to anything that is
really life giving.
There is no way out OF the fact
that thought is a builder of all the
facts and forms that are in the in
dividual's life. and this establishes
the law upon which we may depend,
and enthusiastically declare the i'm
age of the ideal.
To keep up an interest in life one
must believe Ia incaPssant growth. He
must believe in incessant growth. He
tions Of knowledge and power can
present themselves to his conscious
ness. He must not think that all is
known or that further achievement is
impossible for him.
One who lives In life Of objective
trust in the powers and knowledge OF
his mind as the powers are known,
feels as though he had subjectively
gone before and prepared the pro-
gramme and then came along OBJ
Jectedly to become conscious OF Il.
The informed man knows that
through harbored images his world has
been made with the same precision
that the harvest Is the product OF the
seed. Life is what he has ordered It,
