TRUTH, THE BASIS OF LIFE
CONTINUED from page I


which we shall be permitted to retain that
degree of liberty and freedom which we
have been accustomed to look upon as an
inalienable right, because as Prof. A. F.
Lange, director of the California Univer-
sity School of Education, says: Democracy
is safe at home and in the world only if
national preparedness means such things
as growing surplus of health, accumu-
lated efficiency in public and private bus
mess of whatever sort, continuous ad-
vance in the science and art of acting to-
gether, and the increasingly dominant en-
deavor to make all these and all other
aspects of national development center and
resolve about ascending life, single and
collective, for which science, art and
ethics furnish guidance and controlling
motives"
This method is based on absolute
scientific truth and will unfold the posi-
bilities that lie dormant in the individual,
and teach how they may be brought into
powerful action, to increase the persons
effective capacity, bringing added energy,
discernment, vigor and mental elasticity.
The person who gains an understanding
of the mental laws which are unfolded
will come into the possession of an ability
to secure results hitherto undreamed of,
and which has rewards hardly to be ex-
pressed in words.
This method tells of the use of Mind
Power, true Mind Power, not any of the
substitutes and perversions; it has nothing
to do with Hypnotism, Magic or any of
the more or less fascinating deceptions by
which many are led to think that some
thing can be had for nothing.

which is so rare, the kind which is the dis
tinguishing characteristic of every sue
cessful business man, the kind which en-
ables men to see the possibilities as we'll
as the difficulties in every situation, the
kind which enables men to discern oppor-
tunity close at hand, for thousands fail to
see opportunities almost within their grasp
while they are industriously working with
situations which under no possibility can
be made to realize any substantial return.
1t develops Mental Power which means
that others will instinctively recognize
that you are person of force, OF char

want them to do. it means that you will
attract men and things to you; that you
will be what some people call 'lucky,"
that "things" will come your way; that
you have come into an understanding of
the fundamental laws of Nature, and have
put yourself in harmony with them; that
YOU are in tune with the Infinite; that
you understand the law of attraction, the
natural laws of growth and the psychology

Mental Power is creative power, it gives
you the ability to create for yourself; it
does not mean the ability to take some
thing away from some one else. Nature
never does things that way. Nature
makes two blades of grass grow where
one grew before, and Mind Power enables
men to do the same thing.
knowledge is the sum of facts and
truths and nothing but them, CLEANED from
experience, education or comprehension,
without prejudice as to the channel
through which the influx of knowledge
may come, the source of the education, its
nativity or the adjectivity of the compre-
hension.
Understand, this was only an explana-
ton on the articles that are to follow, so
look farward with enthusiasm; its some
thing worthwhile knowing. Part one will
appear in an early issue.
