Principle of Life Is
Health and Strength.

you can't talk about the power
of God in your life one day and
whip around like the wind the neXt
day and talk something else. You
can't expect your diseases and your
troubles to vanish if you Keep call
ing them up, and telling your
neighbols and your friends about
how you once demonstrated over
that thing, but it has come back on
YOU, and you wonder why It is Ina
YOU don't. get along faster. The
principle of Life is health and
strength and it is healing. Stick
to it. Don't allow any other thought
to come in. don't talk about any
thing else. People salt themselves
down in the old thought, like Lots
wife, by looking back and calling
UP in thought and conversation the
sinful past Once you have dem
onstrated over a thing. drop it right
out of your mind as if it never had
existence. Sin and sickness never
were any part of your true life
Those unhealthy conditions, those
discords Of mind and body, were
nightmares If they had been true
we could not so easily get rid Of
them; we could not wipe them out
with our words of Truth"
one can feel patient, with the
Old Thoughter, who has no knovl-
edge and no belief in the mental
power to control conditions.
But it is difficult to feel patient
with the teacher or the devotee Of
this religion who goes proclaiming
it from the house tops. and then
descends to the lower rooms to talk
of gloomy, sad and disagreeable
things.
Not every one is strong enough
TO accept the Spiritual philosophy
in fun. and do away utterly with
old methods of cure when III.
But every one ought to be strong
enough to avoid talking Of disease,
describing operations, dwelling on
sorrowful subjects and INDUCING in
gossip and tale bearing.

HOME INSURANCE COMPANIES.

TO the Tditor Of The Georgian;
In lhe last twenty years millions
of dollars that formerly went to
Eastern insurance interests never
10 return has been kept at home
through the patroniziug of home
insurance. The raucous cry that
is being raised today for legislation
along Insurance lines at the APP
preaching session of the legislature
is raised for the purpose of crip-
ping home insurance rather than
to protect it by suitable legislation
The great state Of Georgia ought to
nourish the growth Of home insur-
ance instead OF aiding ia making it
possible TO destroy it.

CICKNESS is very largely the
want of will. Everything is
brain. There is thought and
feeling not only, but will; and will
includes in it far more than men
tai philosophers think. 1t acts
universally, now upon the mind,
and then just as much upon the
body 1t is another name for life
force. Men in whom this life-or
will powers great resist disease
and combat it when attacked. To
array a mans mind and will
against his sickness is the supreme
act of medicine. Inspire in men
courage and purpose, and the
mind power will cast out disease.
The doctor was himself the best
medicine and often cured by his
presence those whom drugs would
have scarcely helped. These cures
through the spirit of his patient he
regarded as far the most sl1illful
and philosophical. Nothing ails
her 1t is only her Imagination
said the nurse to him one day.
Only Imagination? That is enough.
Better suffer in bone and muscle
than in Imagination. If the body
is sick the mind can cure it. But
if the mind itself is sick what
shall cure that ?"-Henry Ward
Beecher in Norwood" printed 1851
That the healing power is not in
the remedy, but in the faith that
is placed in the remedy, is often
illustrated by amusing instances
like the following:
"Middlebourne, w. Va.-Roused
in his sleep in the dead of night by
intense pain caused by acute indi-
gestion, T. P Swan, road commits
sioner, swallowed three shoe but
tons, mistaking them for pills Aft
er taking the supposed pills the
pain wore off. Swan went back to
bed and was comfortable until this
morning"

Yet 1t seems there is not a Geor-
gian in all this great state who will
utter one word Of protest If some
one should divert the little insig
nifcant Indian Spring from its
course, or despoil the Tauulah Falls
a thousand Georgiaps would at
once cry. "To arms! To arms!"
What is the remedy? What can
be done? 1t is easy enough. The
state could buy a few acres on the
beaches of each of these islands for
the benefit of the people and that
would give right of way to the
people to the beach and it's enjoy

purchases could not be made. then

MEMORIAL ON SOUTHERN SOIL
TO GREAT ENTANClPATOR.
Mrs. j. Z. TeIford.


The memorial fountain to Abra-
nam Lincoln which will be dedicated
ON the Federal Post Office grounds
in Gainesville, Ga, on Nov both,
will mark new and brighter page
IN American history.
The Lincoln Memorial Fountain is
the contamination of the patriotic
endeayOrs of Mrs. Helen D. Long
street, widow of the famous South
ern commander whose loyalty of
country is a passion The fountain
is being erected by the joint contri-
buttons of both North and South.
The dedication ceremonies will bring
to the little city in the mountains
OF Georgia grim warriors who fol
lowed Grant and gray veterans who
stood with Lee on the brilliant fields
Of the civil war. A heroic figure Of
Abraham Lincoln and a symbolic
female figure representing the
South, radiant and hopeful, with
face set to the east, will surmount
the fountain. It is expected that
the figures will be ready for unveil-
ing in the fall of 1913.
The design includes two drinking
fountains; one side for white peo-
pie; the other for colored. The fol-
lowing inscriptions which will ap-
pear on the four sides of the pedes-
tai, express the appreciation of the
gentle and gifted daughter of the
South through whose loyal efforts
the memorial is being erected:
While the battle flags of this
republic were streaming ahOyo tha
roar Of cannon from 81 to '65, an
American patriot dreamed of a
union of States in which Americans

'1To the Editor Of the Boston
Journal: I desire to express to you
my hearty appreciation Of your atti-
tude on the incident regarding the
relative prominence which it was in

Irish Society banquet should be Civ

wealth and Cardinal O'Connell, and

1t is good to know that we have
a paper in Boston that stands
squarely for American principles,
and viii speak out when the circum-
stances call for such expression
Your editorial is absolutely
right, and no right-thinking man
can question it,
1t was the privilege of the writer
to be present at this banquet and at
the preliminary and subsequent
functions in which the President and
the cardinal participated. The
whole affair seemed more akin to
cOurtship between the President and
the cardinal, the State and the
church, than anything the writer
had ever seen. From the loving
glances, embraces, bowling attitudes,
and almost undivided attentions dur
ing the whole evening, one would
judge that the wedding day Between
the church and the State can not be
far distant
AS Cardinal O'ConneU entered the
reception room Of the Hotel Somer-
set, the members Of the Irish So
ciety bowed their knees st his feet
and kissed the gem in the ring on
his hand. Judges of the Supreme
Court OF Massachusetts and other
officials in high positions bowed the
knee and kissed the hand The
whole proceeding harked back to the
days OF medievalism, when the red
caps, frocks, and gowns fiourished
in the civil courts and swayed the
civil scepter
A writer in the Boston Journal
made the following very appropriate
comment on the affair: What q
misrepresentation of the meek and
loWly Nazarene and Of true Christi
anity was this exaltation and p0mp
sought by the cardinal on this occa-
sion!"
While the President has gained
the favor of the Catholics by parti-
cipation in this event the liberty
loving Americans. who are opposed
to the idea of the church's meddIing
in politics, feel that most vital prin-
ciples have been violated; that what
its chief executive has gained in this
matter has been gained at fearful
price which the nation will pay in
sorrow not far in the future. The
whole affair is regarded as most in
congruous, un-American, and anti
christian 1t has served as an eye
opener and q warning signal indi-
eating which way the affairs in the
nation are tending. We are living
over again the days of Constantine.
The church and State are passing
through the counting transaction,

stantine did, and follow the course

IBy Gable TO The Tribune

Iondon July 16.--The newspapers
continue to grieve over the poor dis
play made by the British athletes at
stockholm. The STANDARD" says:
we idle and loaf over various games
without throwing into physical educa-
ton either the artistic zest of the
Scandinavians or the stern system OF
the Americans. Our athletes failed not
so much through individual deficiencies
as in the way OF proper management,
control over training and discipline, and
the general result is that we cut poor
figure in the eyes of vast crowd of
critical spectators and the world out
side. 1t calls for serious reflection on
our part. Our leading athletes and
enortsmen do not want another fiasco
IN 1916. and at Berlin. of all places.
