THE THINGS NOT SEEN.
BY Dir. Frank Crane

over, aDove behind and within the
things seen are the things not seen.
and they are the most important. So
much more vital are they that a great
, thinker said. We look not at the
Things that are seen, for the things
seen are temporal, but the things NOT
seen are eternal
The house is a thing seen. bur
home is a thing unseen; brain can
De seen, mind is unseen; you can
see mothers face, but not the love
behind it, flags are seen, patriotism
unseen; you can see body. but not
soul; a word, but not an idea;
church, but not God.
Our first crude notion is that the
things seen are real and the things
not seen are fanciful We call those
who handle stone, wood and meat
practical, and those who deal in the
orems, sentimentists, and morals, the
oretical.
Sometimes we hear one say that he
goes in for the tangible goods of life,
such as food, clothes, and money, and
he prides himself on his sound sense
But the truth is, what is seen is
mostly illusion, The earth seems
fiat; it is round The sun appears to
reVoIVe around us, but we revoive
around it. What we call education is
but the process of correcting the false
ideas we get from things visible by
the things invisible. The baby, who
can see as well as we, is continually
humping himself against the things
seen until he learns how to use his
judgment, reason, and other unseen
| faculties.
Behind every tangible thing look
for the intangible, which is more sol
id and essential. For it is not lust
you need, but love; not money, but
abundance, which is spiritual sub
| stance; not clothes, but self-expres-
sion; not bread, but truth; not beau
| tlful objects, but a mind that can
see beauty anywhere; not an amulet
but courage; not wine, but health and
enthusiasm.
Why are you unhappy? Because
you are hungry. You put material
/ food every day into your stomach and
you drink water, but you do not draw
| into your inner man, into your real
self, the boundless supplies of the
| Infinite. Love, joy, peace, mirth, and
all the good vital forces are about
you, as the atmosphere is. about you,
but your spirits mouth is shut tight,
because you are stupid and vain, and
think you are clever in that you will
only believe what you see
| If you would be happy, buy without
money and without price; eat and let
your soul delight itself in fairness, for
the infinite storehouse is yours, and
the humblest soul may revel in its
unseen treasures.
