A MESSAGE Of PEACE
ON EARTH AND GOOD
WILL TO MEN.

II gives me profound joy my
friends that through the Editor
of the IDerian | am able to submit
for your consideration the sub
joined article from pen Of Charles
Lumus Robinson on the ''Secret
of Prophecy" TO me it has been
an inspiration. From my earliest
years I've been a student of hu.
man nature, and | most sincerely
believe IN the innate goodness of
men. To make people holy you
must first make them happy
Hsredity and environment deter
mine character. Injustice has
filed the world with poverty and
crime, but today we have set our
selves the task of reforming the
inhabitants of Sing Sing!
Dark as the night may seem all
the signs of the times indicate
that the Kingdom of Heaven is
soon to become divine realty
here on earth. The text of this
most ILLUMINATING article follows:
"SOme 2 900 years ago our old
and esteemed friend Isaiah des-
cribed "a new heaven anu a new
earth,' but he wisely refrained
from naming any specific date for
the advent of the new dispensa-
ton. The same identical phrase
is repeated Id "Reve elatIon."
Some centuries after Isaiah came
Jesus, the carpenters son, and de
olared: "The Kingdom of Heaven
is ct hand" and so it was, for him,
since the "kingdom of heaven Tor
harmony is) within you" Isaiah
uttered prophecy; something to
be experienced in future Jesus
stated two facts based on his own
personal experiences.
When the ancient Greeks dis.
covered the law of balance in It's
relation to psyche physics and ex
pressed that law In three words:
"NOthiDg Too Mucb;" they endeav
ored to monopolize their secret,
as they found 1t a source Of un
limited wealth and the power that
goes with it. Isaiah followed the
same source Of secrecy, for he does
not reveal the real source Of his
"gift of prophecy" Here it Isl:
He who is familiar with the law
Of balance, In it's relation to hu
man affairs, sees clearly that just
90 long as the law IS not obeyed, !,
human affairs will be out of bal
ance, or upside down, as 1t we're,
and knowing that sooner or later
q certain spiritual force will con
quer, or balance the physical
forces, he is absolutely safe In
predicting that things will be
right side up.
Those who lose the most will
think the most, and thus We zee
the law Of compensation, which
is one aspect OF the law Of balance.
Mohammed was the frst Prot.
estant, not Luther. Mobammed
said: "God is just and merciful,"
and on that eternal foundation
his mighty work was bnilded.
Just as Jesus was love incarnate, so
was Mohsmmed justice incarnate,
and the history Of events during
the past two thousand years
proves that Mohammed had the
most practical Idea Of the two,
and the reason is this: Justice Is
the soil from which love must
spring. We will never understand
q god of love until we irst under
stand god of justice. Justice,
conceived by the early Greeks as
q goddess, is the mother Of all the
virtues. Justice, when applied
to daily life, is the golden rule,
and 1t will surprise some folks to
learn that CoDfucins formulated
that rule nearly six hundred years
before the advent Of Jesus.
Where, then, did such leaders
of men obtain their ideas Of jus
tice a3d iovei Obviously within
their own consciousness. And
what does this fact prove? That
there is Q living god Of justice,
d dwelling within man and working
through man, for man is not self
created except to the extent that
he cnltivates the spiritual forces
that he finds within himself as in
stincts. The habit of self culture
must begin IN the nursery, during
the period of helpless childhood,
and thus 1.-THE hand that rocks the
cradle rules the world" When
that hand 10 paralyzed by ignor.
snce-the mother Of all our woes
we reap the fruit Of ignorance,
and the result may be seen IN
Europe today. Civilization has
been Mrottlsd IN the nursery because
the mothers of Me race haze neuer
yet been permitted to understand the
deep significance Of the fact that
education, religion and life are one
and inUisible.
Now for an interesting fact in
nsvchOlOCy. the mOet neglected Of
