Scientific Talk At

That occult teaching has made many
strides in the past few years was evil
dent from the lecture by DR.. Baker on
THE Development OF Occult Power"
last Sunday at Theosophical Hall, 1915
II street northwest. He swiftly and
lucidly covered large field of inquiry.
and showed how those who were rot
content to follow the beaten track could
find rational explanation for facts in
clairvoyance and telepathy otherwise
inexplicable. In explaining the mocha
nism of consciousnesss it was found
that man was related to three worlds
in his nominal evolution which is
taught in the Christian Scriptures, and
not to Zone only as the materialist
claims. His touch with them is So close
that in the natural course of evolution
he must develop the power of COM
muning at will with the inhabitants of
other spheres, by which he is now sur
rounded. The genius, the philosopher,
the scientist, the preacher. the states
man who are now unconsciously sensi-
tive to spiritual influences, will develop
the power of direct communication.
Religious teaching would be profounder,
and a deeper reality II man would re-
member the mystic phrase, the king
dom of heaven is within you.' and ac-
cept il as a spiritual truth.

Higher Thought.

In a talk Friday night Miss Van
Voast said in part: ut is a.well-known
fact in modern science that, in the eX-
penditure of force or energy, the re-
turn current brings back the energy
from where it is sent to the place sent
from, re-establishes itself. IL this were
not true, We would have no telegraph
or telephone SNow Gustav Lauman,
German scientist, claims the inflow of
gravitational and the outflow of
thermic energy is in exactly equal
measure for the sun, which means
eternal universe.
Mind is another force or energy, and
no less an authority than Sir Oliver
Lodge said recently is continuous as
all force or energy is. Mind receives
its direction and kind of energy from
thought, which is mind in motion,

ergy, it Is a grave responsibility to

Fear vs.. Health,
Subject Of Talk

Fear and its effects on mind, body.
and estate, was the subject of the
Wednesday evening meeting Of the
New Thought Center at the Washing
ton Loan and Trust building. Fear Of
accident, of enemies, of failure, of dis
ease. in short of evil in all its FORMS
fills our minds. depresses our nerves,
lowers our vitality. and injuriously af-
fects the secretions of the body to a
tremendous extent. That sudden fear
or shock will paralyze digestive func-
tons. turn the hair white, stop the
flow of a mothers milk, every one
knows. but the constant daily wear and
tear on the body. by harboring minor
irritations. fears and breads, we forget
to estimate.
Fear is distrust Of God. it is break
ing the first commandment, Thou
shault have no other Gods before me-"
IL God Is omnipotent the only power,
II Is bowling down before another god,
to fear evil. ''He that dwelleth in the
secret place Of the Most High shall
abide under the shadow of the Al
fall thee" This is not merely eastern
imagery; 1t is one Of Gods promises
it Is spiritual law. To live in con-
scious oneness with infinite love and
power, to recognize the God within.
and our divine heritage, Is to make
his truth our shield and buckIer, and
to be panoplied against all fear. This
is not formal religion TO prepare us
for some future life 1t is an invtncible
source Of strength. happiness and sue
cess here and now.
II fear tears down, destroys, defeats
what will happiness and confidence do
for us? The converse of a proposition
is not always true, and it needs proving.
The subject for next Wednesday will
be Joy, and Its effects" and will be
presented by Miss Gray and DR.. Kicker
after which the meeting will be open
for discussion.

miles to attend services One mission

anxious when We heard of a new place
to preach or of some person who was
interested in the Gospel: now every
