on Continuity" three years ago for
rejecting "the spiritual forms of
truth" and cleaving solely to the laws
of mechanics and physics, he not only
made the scientific world sit UP, but
gave fresh impetus to the new and
great study of universal mind.
In this study we have fascinating
as well as boundless field for re-
search. Up to ten years ago little if
anything had been attempted in this
line in scientific way, and nearly all
progress thus far made in it has been
during the past few years.

of fact mind is subject of which
practically nothing is known. Some
Of our best psychologists are free to
admit that they do not know single
law of thought, but as everything
else has laws, they say it is fair to
infer that mond also is ruled. Why,
then, should a layman, like blum
dering surgeon, make stab at it :?
Only because he has given some time
to the study and because he IS not
going to intrude his own views, but
those of scientific men who have tried
to penetrate this arcanum.
With the exceptions of time and
space, mind is the most expansive en-
tity in the universe. Its rate of pro-
lection surpasses that Of light. We
can think of certain star and in the
hundredth part of a second we can
think of another separated from it
by hundreds Of trillions of miles.
That law can be deduced from the
fact that mind cannot be lost in space,
as we see it, is considered possible,
and some of the keenest intellects in
the world are now bent upon this and
other problems fmentology.
A vast field of research and specu-
lation along these lines was entered
when the electron was isolated. Elec-
irons, the smallest divisibility of what
is known as matter, are being studied
very closely, and some scientists pre-
dict that within the field Of electronic
activity and relation the most tre-
mendous discovery bearing upon mind
may be made at any moment.
Prof. Larkin's Book
Sitting upon his mountain top in
the Lowe Observatory, Edgar Lucien
Larkin has been peering into these
mysteries and bordering upon them
in a profound way. Though many
scientists probably would not accept
some of his conclusions as to psychic
phenomena, / wish every one inter-

volume he declares that electrons only
have been created or produced and
that everything else has been formed
of electrons by directivity-directio
New electrons, according to the
latest scientific pronouncement, al
though they form atoms, are not SUBJ

What created electrons and set them
in motion is not for the evolutionist to
answer, for here we deal with first
causes. DR.. Larkin declares that we
can conceive Of no entity save mind
that Is capable Of such power. What
mind? His answer is a universal
mind.
Over two hundred years ago good
old DR.. Berkeley guessed that matter
was not substance, but he knew moth
ing of it's electrical nature or internal
motion. John Muir had not made the
acquaintance of the electron when he
said twenty years ago that the Sierras
We're built up of minute particles, call
dancing to music; and yet this great
naturalist was unshakably convinced
that htose grand peaks were created
and sculptured by an omnipotent
being. His dancing" is now shown
as that of revolving electrons, and
their activity is the life of the uni
verse.
Our, concepts of minute entities are
staggered when we are told that an
