It certainly is a wonderful medicine to vitalize the system"

H~EART-TO-HEART TALK.

Now, dear readers and friends:
this is a personal letter to you. J
want you to regard it as just as
personal and just as important as
if I had written it direct on my
typewriter and mailed it to you in
a sealed envelope under a three.
cent stamp.
What do you think Of the line
of talk / am giving you this time'
If you believe my New Message
contains something that thepeople
ought to read and think about.
then I want you to appoint your.
self as a missionary to help spread
it among your friends. Tote this
issue around in your pocket and
read it to people you meet and
ask them what they think about
it. You will find more people
thinking along these lines than
you might suppose. And if you
happen to strike a few who have
not yet begun to think on these
things, this paper will wake then
up and put them to thinking.
The whole human race today is
aware of the fact that this OLD
earth is passing through a great
crisis, and that SOMETHING OF
far-reaching consequence to the
people must be the result. The
human mind is in a questioning
attitude, wondering if this really
is the end, and the old cut-and
dried conceptions Of what is going
to happen in the wind-up are be
ing changed rapidly.
Hence the time is ripe for this
New Message, and / want you t.
help me spread it into every nool
and corner of this broad land. L
is going to take a great deal o.
money to run this thing under
present conditions. Print paper
costs about twice what it former
ly did, and some kind Of war ta1

all publishers. And besides that
I am constantly needing to adj

ment to handle the business. 70,

WHO AND WHAT I AM.

WHO AND WHAT l AM.
Some of my enthusiastic readers
out over the world are getting such
wrong notions about what sort of a
critter / am, that a word of expla-
nation seems to be in order.
Some have gotten the idea that I
am a regular "preacher," probably
because I use the word "Sermon" in
the headings Of some Of my dope.
Others think / am a gradute Of sew
eral colleges and theological seminar
les, that l wear a high silk hat and a
claw-hammer coat, and make a reg
ular business of going around lectur-
ing to crowded houses in the big
cities.
No-sir-ee-Bob! All that is just about
as far from the facts as you could
possibly get. ! am not a preacher; |
am not a college graduate; [ am not
a public speaker. In fact, I am not
anything that the world would call
big or distinguished. I am just a
very common little country clod-hop-
per. Never went to school more
than twelve months in my life. Never
saw the inside of a high school or
college. Never got up before an au-
dience and tried to make a speech,
and couldn't do it if my life depend
ed on it. Never got any of the "pol-
ish" that a man has to have in order
to "shine in society,"" [ am ugly and
awkward and droll, and people tell me
confdentially that I don't look like
I had half sense.
| live away out in the woods, ten
miles from any town or railroad. ]
have my little print shop out here and
try to get out Good News all by my
self. You can't have any idea what
a job it is. My wife is a semi-inva-
lid, and has suffered enough to kill
a hundred people. We have no help
in the house, either, and l have to
get the wood, make the fires, tote the
water, and help with the cooking and
dish-washing.
But there was some sort of a fool
| ed in the direction of writing. / be-
gun when I was about ten years
old and have been at it pretty steady
now for over twenty-1~ years. Be-
sides editing several papers Of my
own, | have contributed to dozens ano
scores of papers and magazines al
over CHe country. some o.
the most high-class publications il
America. If all the stuff I have eve1
written could be collected and put int
books it would fill a whole book
shelf. There is hardly a nook or cor
ner anywhere in the United State:
where my name is not known, bu'
most of my readers don't have an,
idea what sort Of a poor little one
boss jumping-jack they are reading
after. Maybe this will enlighten
few of them.

TIME WILL TELL.

are yet many people who do not
believe what I am saying in Good
News from month to month.
There are many of the good old
conservatives and stand-patters
who think I have entirely jump
ed the track and gone off after
a lot of wild heresies.
But these good people are
right in line for the biggest sur
prise of their lives pretty soon.
In a very few years even the bit
terest Of my critics will have to
admit that | was right. When
they see the things come to pass
right before their eyes they will
have to give it up. Ten years
from now the person who does
NOT accept these things as true
will be looked upon as a curiosi-
ty.
Why, Just look at the Prohibi-
ton movement in this country.
When I was a small boy, thirty
odd years ago, you could hardly
find a man with nerve enough
to say he was in favor of prohi-
tition. Those who did advocate
it were pointed out as cranks and
Missionaries. They were thought
to be sorter weak in the upper
story.
[ am proud to-day to announce
that I was one of that little
bunch of cranks. Even as a
child I was a Prohibitionist. I
am one of the few men who can
stand up before the world and
say: II never drank a drop of
Intoxicating liquor in my life. I
have no idea how it tastes"
And now look what our lit
tie bunch of prohibition cranks
has grown to. It has swollen
into a great tidal wave OF reform
and has swept everything be-
fore it, and we have just now
witnessed the ratification of a
national prohibition law.
And the Woman Suffrage
movement has been another case
of the same sort. I was on the
right side of both of these great
questions at a time when they
were very unpopular. And I
stayed right on the job till the
crowd came to me.
And now this Prophecy bust
ness that / am talking about
is going to be another case lust
like the others. I don't know
why it is, but somehow I Just
get started in these things a lit
tie ahead of the crowd. And the
crowd laughs at me and calls
me a fanatic for a few years,
and then very obediently falls in
behind and trots after me
Now please understand that
don't claim any prophetic gift
nor any superior foresight.
When | begin to see the light on
any of these great questions, it
would be just as easy for any
other man to see it if he would
only look. But the trouble with
SO many people is that they don't
want to see, and they refuse to
look. But finally, when the light
gets SO plain that nobody car
avoid seeing it, they will look
and blare their eyes and make 9
big to-do over it.
And so, Mister Critic, maybe
you had better not be SO gill
! with your denunciation of m,
views on Prophecy, until Vol
