VOX POPULI.
SAYS ABSOLUTE LIFE
HAS BEEN MlSREPRESENTED

Editor Pensacola Journal.
VIII you kindly allow me to correct
some OF the misunderstanding about
absolute life, some mention OF which
appeared in recent issue of your
paper? The quotations given here are
from the reports generally made.
Absolute life Is not a cult organiza-
ton; 1t sets up no creed and has no
membership list. The term absolute
life designates not only what has been
working out here In Chicago but also
the worldwide new spiritual move
ment which is being manifested in so
many walks of life. That which a few
people are living here, Is only a part
of what Is taking place everywhere.
The term absolute life merely means
living absolutely true In all things; 1t
is the practicalization OF Christianity,
1t is more a social Regeneration than a
religion.
The statement that Mona Rees, 'is
completely free from all material
things" that she is pre- eminent in
her transcendant spirituality" is not a
statement made by me. Those words
do not properly represent absolute life.
Absolute life is social, still it's foun-
dation is laid so deep that the char
acter of the personal consciousness
changes-the new spirit dissolves the
deep elements from which selfshness
and meanness spring, called in the
language of the revelation, mortality
and perversion. With selfishness and
meanness gone, the person becomes to
all practical purposes new type OF
character. This is not perfection by
any means, but it is something worth
winning

Tn a letter from Fred n. Rose, as

that probably the most important
event to take place in the state Of
