International City to Be Home

A grandly idealistic project has recent.

years Of altruistic labor and study or
the part Of Hendrix Christian Anderson
an American-scandinavia sculptor re.
siding in Rome. assisted by some forty
sculptors. artists, engineers, architects
and scientists, and has for its object the
establishment of an ideal world city
where all International activities are to
have their home and inspiration.
A City without Slums.

become the intellectual artistic. and
practical International capital Of the
world: a clearinghouse for the various
social. cultural. scientific and political
aspirations of humanity.
las designed 1t will cover some ten
square miles Of ground. Its architectural
plans are SO drawn that 1t can be built
at almost any spot accessible to the sea
that the nations may choose. While
there is ample room within the limits
of the city for the homes of the perma-
nent inhabitants and the necessary busi-
ness and manufacturing plants. the heart
of the city is composed of buildings
adapted to the unifcation of interna-
tional interests.
These are grouped into three centers
devoted respectively to science. art, and
physical culture. The. scientific center
is connected with the center Of art by
the broad Avenue OF Nations, ianked
on cithc side by palaces which will house
ambassadors and delegates representing
their respective nations. 1t has for its
crowning motif the gigantic Tower of
Progress. which rises to the height of
LOCO feet or more. On the summit of
this tower will be installed a wireless
telegraph plant and on the lower floor
of its colossal base will be found a world
printing press.

spiritual region to which the thought
Of the suppliant aspires. The subtle
vibrations of the spiritual realm play
on the up-reaching soul, awakening
the corresponding divine elements that
lie latent within il. and these. thrill
ing into answer. flood the man with
a new sense of power and make him
realize something of the nature of d.
vinity. Inasmuch as the Divine is
everywhere. as in Him we live and
move, that appeal to the Divine with
out us causes an activity which reacts
on US. awakening the Divine within
US, and this God with u.s. imparts to
the mind and heart the energy Of the
spiritual nature, making US conscious
Of our own divine power.
Thus we pass from the spiritual as
pirations almost imperceptible into the
prayer which is pure worship. pure
alteration, from which all petition is
absent, and which seeks only to pour
itself forth in sheer love of the per-
feet, dimly sensed. Such prayers,
grouped as Glass c, are the means OF
union between man and God, drawing
the worshipper into the being he
adores. In these, the consciousness
limited by the brain contemplates in
mute ecstacy the image II creates of
Him whom II knows to be in truth
beyond all ina ginning. and oft, rapt
by the intensity Of its love beyond
those concrete limits imposed by the
intellect, II scars upward into the
realm where limits are not, and feels

turn 1t can tell in words or clothe in
intellectual form.
Prayer Is Heard.
Then in prayer the mystic gazes on
the Beatific Vision, then the sage
rests in the infinite calm of the wis
dom that is beyond knowledge, then
the saint is penetrated with the ra-
diant purity in which God is seen.
Such prayer irradiates the worship
per and from the mount of such high
communion descending to the plains
of earth, the very face of flesh shines
with supernal glory, translucent to the
flames which burns within. Happy

Theosophist Explains How to

LIVING THINGS INVISIBLE
Once Grasped. They Range the
Astral World to His
Pleasure"
By DIR. w. w. BAKER.

The question is continually asked: do
GU Theosophists believe in prayer?"
and it may be helpful to some to study
the subject of prayer in the light OF
occult knowledge. prefacins the study
with the remark that the belief of
Theosophists will vary according to their
knowledge, and that no Theosophist, save
the writer. is committed to the state
ments that follow. The public does not
yet realize that a Theosophist is not
fitted with a ready-made suit Of beliefs
when he enters the society, but is only
supplied with material from among
which he may choose those which suit
him, and must then proceed to fashion
his garments for himself. The views
that are here submitted are given simply
est he views of an individual student. as
materials for study.
The first thing necessary in considering
the utility Of prayer is to analyze pray
er itself. for the word is used to cover
various activities of consciousness. and
they cannot be dealt with as though they
formed a simple whole. We find pray
ers are petitions for definite worldly ad-
vantages, for the supply of physical
needs-prayers for food, clothing, money.
employment. success in business. recov-
cry from illness, etc. These will group
together as class A. Then We have
prayers for help in moral and intellectual
difficulties and for spiritual growth-for
the overcoming of temptations, for
strength. for insight, for enlightenment.
These can be grouped as class B. Lastly
there are the prayers that ask for moth
ing, that consist in contemplation and
alteration of the Divine Perfection, in in
tense aspiration for union with God-the
ecstacy Of the mystic, the meditation
of the sage, the soaring rapture Of the
saint. These We will call class c.
Ladder os Humans.
The next thing that we must realize is
the great ladder of living beings from
the subhuman elemental to the Logos
Himself, ladder in which no rung is

Iand commented on the Lord S
Prayer" emphasizing the thought of
plural prayer and the powerful in
| fluence of christians gathered in the
prayer meeting. Familiar hymns

prayer of deepest devotions by the
consecrated christians made every

claim.
