Notwithstanding the earnest protest
OF our government, the imperial Ger

carry out the policy It had announced.
II expressed the hope that the dangers
involved, at any rate the danger 10 neu-

had issued to it's submarine command
crs. and assured the government Of
the United States that It would ;ake
every possible precaution. both to re-
spect the rights OF ncutrals and TO safe
guard the lives of noncombatants.
What has actually happened in the
year which has since elapsed has shown
that those hopes were not justified.

fulfilled.

EVOLUTION.

EVOEU ION. - In Prof. James
SuIIy's explanation of evolution he
deals only with the physical or form
side and has forgotten the other very
essential side, that of the life or
spirit. Without life there can be no
form and without form there can be
no life, but they are not by any
means identical. The evolution of
these two, the form and the life,
evolve side by side or together. Life
Or consciousness is not the result Of
mechanical or chemical changes in
the organism. If this were true we
would be but machines and all alike.
Man is not his physical body. He is
something much greater. He is
= divine spark from God, made in His
likeness and image. That does not
mean Gods outward OF form like
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-10-14

spiritual nature; for instance, God is
love, wisdom and truth. Man is de-
veloping unto the expression of that
perfect love, wisdom and truth.
Man is like God in his spiritual ma
ture, but in man it is but germ or
seed and must be awakened into ac-
tiVity. Man has within him all pos
sibilities, but they are latent. His
evolution consists in developing these
latent GOdlike qualities.
AS man develops more and more of
his GOd-like nature, he must have a
suitable physical body for such ex-
preston. A highIy-developed spirit
Ual man could not use the coarse,
phlegmatic body of a savage; so as
the life or consciousness demands
the suitable form develops from ne
cessity. 1t is impossible for man to
become perfect as 'his Father in
heaven is perfect" in one physical
life, even if he lived to the good old
age of 100 years. He, the man or
ego, therefore comes back many,
many times and takes birth in a ply
steal body In each new physical life
he learns some new lesson. He de-
velops a little more love, becomes less
selfish, grows less bigOted and more
tolerant until at last after many ply
steal lives he reaches perfected man
hood and becomes perfect even as
the Christ. When man reaches this
high state. he need not return to earth
except as a savior of men, just as the
Christ did, to help his less evolved
brother to reach the same level he
has attained to.
AS in the human kingdom, so it is
in the animal, vegetable and mineral
kingdoms. The form perishes or dis
integrates, but the life is never lost.
It comes back into physical form
time, time again, getting new and
greater experience and the evolution
in each kingdom proceeds.
In regard to the creation of the

THE PUBLIC FORUM
KNOCK AND BOOST. - Many
thanks to The Day Book that gives
the public a chance to knock and
boost. Many thanks to socialism
that started the public to knocking,
but not boosting Many thanks to
union labor that has kept us out of
slavery. Sum the three thanks up
and you will find them all in favor of
the working class. Take thanks No. 2
and you will find them knocking hard
away at our president, who is work
ing hard for their cause, not as
Socialist, but as a progressive, free
thinking American who is trying to
treat his fellow beings the same as a
brother, no matter whether rich or
poor.
Take thank No. 8: United we stand
like union labor. Let labor, union or
nonuniOn, stand by the president and
have no fear for the old days of slaV-
cry to come back, but prosperity and
good laws for the working class.
Take thanks No. 8: Let US all
knock and boost, for that is the only
way to find out the right and wrong,
but be sure to boost the little Day
Book that gives you chance to read
these knocks and boosts.-Rob't n.

THE YEAR is GOING.


Christian, bent with age, the year is
going,
Drawing nearer to its close;
For tomorrow will be Christmas
If I'm here,-and who knows.
But my King may wish to call me
Nearer to- His throne of light,
Give me all that He has promised
Call me home this very night?
Have | served Him ever faithful,
Loved Him more and more each day
Lent a helping hand to others
AS we passed along the way?
Have / e'er been kind and thoughtful
Toiling on that they might rest
Made some poor, discouraged being
Start anew and call be blest?
Have l done my Christian duty,
Have l e'er forgot to pray
Have l yielded to temptation,
Have l idled time away?
May my paths be out from darkness
To that everlasting goal,
Lead, oh, lead me Gentle Savior,
Jesus lover Of my soul.
