Ideals

IN these momentous times statement
of ideals will not be out of place. The
contemporary ciamor for rights is sub
merging the emphasis on duties. Anun-

the fact that permanent gain comes only
by way of obligation thoroughly fulfilled.

most by serving most.
They mean that il shall deserve the

CRITICISM OF TWO KINDS

Did you ever stop to think that there
are two kinds of riticism-destructiv
and constructive And before we offer
criticism of our town or the people in
it, we should stop to consider under
which class our words will fall If
we decide the criticism is destructive
we should not utter it. But if it is
constructive, if it offers something
better, then we should not hesitate
either because of being criticised our
selves, because of self -consciousness
or because of any other reason, to give
our criticism. We should try to better
our surroundings when possible, not
by means of ruthless, destructive crit
icism, but by giving voice to we'll
founded plans of improvement.

MORE TROUBLE
AHEAD

Many estimable people are fondly of
the opinion that the troubles of A
merica are at an end-at least in SO
far as our relations with foreign gov
ernments are concerned.
They believe that because we raised
an army of 100000 in a few months
and sent 100000 to France we have
demonstrated our superiority in such
striking manner that the rest of the
world will be glad to let US alone.
They are in error, as was clearly
shown when England and France calm
ly ignored the threat of President Will
son on the Jugo-Slav question.
England and France expected enor-
nous additional credits from the u
nited States government. They did
not get them.
They expected the United States to
assume much of the burden of reha-
bilitating devastated Europe. They
were disappointed.
They charge that we commercialized
the war and annexed the wealth of
the world, and that now we will not
open our money bags for the allevia-
ton of humanity.
They are disappointed-cha grined
sore
They will abide their time until the
proper opportunity presents itself, and
then they will strike, either CONNER
cially or with the mailed fist, or both.
Just what particular form that re-
taliation will take, no one on this side
of the Atlantic knows
But Europe has a long memory,
1t never forgets.

ate and painstaking writer of reports
on inventions, and schemes that prom
Use great returns to investors.
His fame is such that if he reports
will risk a dollar to promote it. Be
cause of his painstaking accuracy as
an investigator, The London Daily
News offered him $500 to investigate
Christian Science and make report
that they could give to their readers
with confidence.
He gladly undertook it though up
to that time Christian Science was I'M
known to him. Ell studied the whole
matter, joined the Christian Science
church, tested their statements in
every way, followed Mrs. Eddy to the
letter and in the true spirit, and was
SO entirely convinced of the truth
taught by Christian Science that he
became one of their most successful
healers. Because of this he would not
take the $500.
But he came to feel that God was
as near to him as to Mrs. Eddy and as
willing to teach him so that he came
more and more to be an independent
student and practitioner. This re-
suited in his finally leaving the Chris
tian Science church.
In his late visit to the Los Angeles
and Pasadena the writer had several
chances to see and hear him. And is
fully persuaded that Mr.. Rawson is a
most capable and honest man and that
he does get wonderful results.
But it must be said that like other
men he is not infallible, and has no
monopoly of the Truth. He says so
himself.

TOO MANY
MILLIONIARES

The number of abnormally rich
men being created in this country is
matter of grave concern.
The accumulation of such great for
tunes in a short space of time would
indicate the employment of dishonest
methods Certainly the practices re-
sorted to by these men in their scram-
BILE for gold are not in accordance with
the precepts of the golden rule.
Wholesale dishonesty in business
brings reproach upon the fair name
of America, and supplies the ground
work for future discomfort and posi-
BILE revolution. It means disaster in
years to come.
No country can survive in these
days when the majority of the wealth
is in the hands of a Few. Revolution
becomes the court of last resort. This
great country itself is the outgrowth
of rebellion against repression.
Two million dollars is enough for
any man to own. If he can not live
on that amount there is something ra-
Ideally wrong with him.
Congress would do well to place a
limit upon the size of the fortune and
the income of every resident of the
United States, whether that resident
be citizen or alien.
The splendid work of our forefathers
should not be jeopardized to the greed
of the financial octopus.

new THOT AND
CHRISTIAN
HEALING
SEVENTH PAPER
(By r. NJ. Webster)

Among the most able and helpful
writers and teachers along Metaphy-
steal lines is Judge Thomas Troward.
| have studied with very great inter
est and profit four of his books. The
Edinburg Lectures on Mental science
Given in Edinburg, Scotland, The Dore
Lectures, so-called because given in
Dore Hall, London, the Creatives Pro-
cess in the individual, and Bible Mys-
teries and Bible Meanings.
| am fully convinced that no thot-
full and honest mind can study these
books without great profit and de-
light.
would not take the largest private
fortune in America for what [ have
received from these books, if that
meant that | must forever be deprived
of it.
cannot, in these brief papers, go in
to the subject matter of these great
wroks. But for those who have an
appetite for the Truth and who will
read them it is not necessary, while
for those who have no appetite for the
like it would be useless.
However to those who will read them
with hunger and thirst after right
eousness, / can promise a rare treat.
The thoughts are clearly and elegant
" expressed, and they concern the
greatest matters that can engage the
human soul.
/ know we'll that a mind entirely en-
crossed with getting living or with
making money or pushing business,
will soon be weary of such noble lit
erature. Such minds must wait for
life's experiences to change their out
look and to create a new set of De-
sires. But the student who can en-
ioy them will find in them, as Jesus
said of his own words, the Truth that
shall make him FREE.
The books are very modern, but can
be had now at most of our Bible Lii
braries, or at almost any Metaphysi-
cal Library, while for those who, like
the writer, prefer to own such books,
they may be had of any well furnish
ed book store.
More than one person has heartily
thanked me for calling attention to
these books. l hope this little article
will have a similar result.
A great deal has been said and writ
ten of late concerning F. L. Rawson
of London, England, man of science,
we'll known in his own country as a
Chemist and Mining Engineer and by
reason of his reputation as an aceur-
