THE MAN WHO TALKS

The great unWaShed' IS pOlltlcal phrase by favor, but much broader of application; in fact, it knows no. line except that of cleanliness, and 1t is in society as we'll as out of It. It is more than likely that there Is a great variety of noses. Perhaps this is dem onstrated by the variety of scents which find favor, for you know musk and violet, or lavender and eau de CO., l0wne, are a great ways apart, to say nothing of scores of other perfumes. | have never wondered that some great mind said: "Cleaniless is next to god liness," or that the world recognized at once that this was a gem of thought and kept it alive. Cleaniless needs no perfumery, and mixed smells are no delight. Musk always seems to be cover and most other drug shop smells excite suspicion. The starchy smell which seems to be fresh from the laun- dry or the bureau drawer, is evidence of the use of soap and water, and it doesn't need to be retouched. If every 1 thing was sweet, the idea of universal l brotherhood would be more taking. The great unwashed can never attain to saintship-soap and water as well as clean thought leads to that.
 There are two acts in life which | form balance-giving and forgiving and there are too many people who l do neither. and too many more who | do one or the other grudgingly. An ! able writer has well said: Tn giving and forgiving reside the symbols of spirit union. When you give you do not deny your right of property-you emphasize it: when you forgive you do not lower, but raise, your self-es- teem. This Is the mystery of souls, we find ourselves only as We give our l selves to another" Do you know a l seed thought when you see it? This 1 is one! Grasp and hold it that you may secure to yourself power and wisdom. We all grovel too much-we expect another to lift us up when we 1 should lift up ourselves. The power | of self-elevation resides in our own minds; and we have only to become conscious of it and to command our sleeping energies to wake up, and we feel our broadening zone of spiritual power. We have eyes to see the nat ural and the spiritual and why should we be blind?
 1t was a oeod thing for me when l took a new view of heredity. In the first place this Is something a body may fool themselves with by thinking too much about it. One day I con ceived the idea that if I had inherited something I didn't want I'd cast it out of my mind if I could not cast 1t out ,I of my body. l saw 1t was no use to allow it a place in my council of life; and denied that to it, right away. refused to recognize it as a gift or a parasite. It did not take me long to conquer that bit of self created folly It clears the way so that you fec your blemishes and your blessings are all your own. You do not want rats of misconception nesting near you1 heart. It doesn't pay. You are not obliged to shelter the megrims youl great-grandparent did. You cant shun evil and nourish heredity in any way. To the pure all things are pure and to the whole all things are whole

 After the frost has wiped out the col

 They seem to know lntuitively tha
