The woman who finds herself question
ing the existence of an over-ruling Power
in this great universe should endeavor TO
cultivate the spiritual quality. and 10
put her mind in touch with the strong
souls who have solved these questions to
their own satisfaction.
Sir Oliver Lodge. one of the leading
men in the scientific world today may
well be listened to when he says: Il tell
YOU with all the strength and conviction
| can muster that we do persist after
death, and that those who have passed
on before US communicate with us, and
that L have talked with friends OF mine
on the other side. know that man is
surrounded by other intelligences. II
YOU once step beyond man there is no
limit until you come to the infinite in
telligence himself Once having gone
beyond man you go on and must go on
until you come to God.
But it is no strange land to which
am leading you. The cosmos is one. We
here on this planet are limited in GER
tain ways and blind to much that is going
on, but ! tell you that we are surrounded
by beings. working with us, cooperating
and helping, such as people in visions
have had some perception Of and that
which religion tells us saints and angels
are. That the Master himself is help
ing us is, believe, literally true"
Another shining soul who has given
her life to the study of these questions,
Anna Besant says:
This one thing is sure: Man is today
a living soul, over whom death has no
power, and the key of the prison house
Of he ho,l 10 Ia, ha de hat
he may learn its use IL he will It is
because his true self, while blinded by
the body, has lost touch with other
selves, that death has been gulf in
stead of gateway between embodied
and disembodied souls"
So great is the accumulation of proof
regarding worlds beyond that it seems
almost like a phase of arrested mental
development when a human being de-
clares himself an ATHEIST If you desire to
ke-thcsbesty possible use of this life, Ia
eattain the highest results in your chosen
work. to be helpful TO humanity, to
realize happiness, then seek 10 develop
faith in the Overruing supreme intelli-
gence and Il belief in the lives to come
Take little time alone each day. Just
before retiring is perhaps the Best hour
TO choose. Sit quietly by yourself with
closed eyes and lifted heart; ask only for
light and guidance: make your mind like
that OF little child who goes to its
parent for comfort and protection; lei
no day pass without entering the tower
room OF your mind. In that tower room
permit no thought to enter but the desire
for an uplifting Illumination
There is a room serene and fair. ~.
All palpitant with light aud air
Free from the dust-world's noise anC
fuss
Gods tower room in each of us.
Oh! many stair our feet must press,
And climb from self to selflessness
Before We roach that radiant room
Above the discord and the gloom.
So many, many stairs to climb,
t{ut mount them gently-take your time
Rise leisurely, nor strive to rum
Not 50 the-Iniehtiest feats are done.
Rise lelsurely; the stairs once trod
reveal the mountain peaks of God;
And from its upper room the soul
Sees all, in one united whole.
He who seeks for knowledge which
shall bring faith in it's train shall surel,
find IT Il he climbs often to the towe
room of his own being.
