TRUTH, THE BASIS OF LIFE
Part Two
BY Mr.. II. p.

~ cess, power, wealth, attainment,
- with very little conscious effort;
others conquer with great difficulty;
still others fail altogether to ,reach
their ambitions, desires and ideals.
Why is this so? Why should some
men realize their ambitions easily,
others with difficulty, and still others
not at all? The cause cannot be ply
sical, else the most perfect men, ply
sically, would be the most successful.
The difference, therefore, must be
mental-must be in the mind hence
mind must be the creative force, must
constitute the sole difference between
men. 1t is mind, therefore, which
overcomes environment and every
other obstacle in the path of men.
1t is the actualizing of interior
quality through the creative power of
thought which has given us great lea
ders like Alexander, Napoleon, Crom-
well and our own, Washington; cap
tains of industry like Carnegie, Nor
gan, Rockefeller and Hartman; in
ventors like Stevenson, Morse, Mar
conf, Edison, Tesla, and hosts of
others. If, then, the only difference
between men lies in their ability to
think, to use and control their
thought, to develop tiff the secret
of all success, all power, all attain
ment is the creative power of mind,
the force of thoug ght-surely the abil-
ity to think correctly should become
the paramount object of every man.
When the creative power of
thought is fully understood, its effect
will be seen to be marvellous. But
such results cannot be secured with
out proper application, diligence and
concentration. The individual will
find that the laws governing in the
mental and. spiritual world are as
fixed and infallible as in the material
world. To secure the desired re-
suits, then, it is necessary to know the
law will be found to produce the de-
sired result with invariable exacti-
tude. The individual who learns that
power comes from within, that he is
weak only because he has depended on
help from outside, and who unhesitat-
ingly throws himself on his own
thought, instantly rights himself,
stands erect, assumes a dominant atti-
tude, and works miracles.
Scientists tell us that we live in the
universal ether. 7 his is formless, of
itself, but it is pliable, and forms about
us, in us and around us, according to
our thought and word. We set it in
to activity by that which we think.
Then that which manifests to us OBJ
jectively is that we have thought or
said.
Thought is governed by law. The
reason we have not manifested more
faith is because of lack of understand
ing. We have not understood that
everything works in exact accordance
with definite law. The law of
thought is as definite as the law of
mathematics, or the law of chemistry,
or the law of electricity, or the law

SACRED CEDARS VANISH
Used For Fuel During War
Selected
Selected
r HE cedars of Lebanon have al
most disappeared from their ma

InOSt disappeared from their ma
tive home in the picturesque
mountains of Palestine, and yet one
hears no great protest. Trees 1000
years old, that passed through their in
fancy hundred years before the
opening of the Christian era, were
cut to supply fuel for military loco
motives during the late war.
The wholesale destruction of WON
derful works of art during the war
brought forth groans that were heard
around the world, but the woodchop-
per, without a murmer being heard
in the world outside, has destroyed
this living thing that for centuries has
been used as a symbol of physical
strength by nations forgotten except
in the pages of history.
These beautiful giants thrived best
in their native home in the mountains
of Lebanon in Palestine just south of
Beirut. Their wood is so durable that
Pliny, the Roman historian, said it
was everlasting. For this reason the
ancients made of it their gods. The
Arabs regarded the trees as endowed
with the principle of continual exis-
tence, and when the great age of some
individual specimens is considered they
had very good reason for holding this
belief. They also credited the trees
with reasoning powers.
Timbers unearthed by excavators
in the ruins of the ancient Assyrian
cities were found to be practically un-
changed after passing through 1000
years of various vicissitudes..
The cedar forests, which were his
toric when the armies of Sennacherib
laid them waste in 6O8 B. G. as re-
corded in the Bible and which are
beautifully mentioned in the Psalms
of David, have now been ravaged as
a war necessity by the Turks to feed
their locomotives which drew trains
between the military station at Beirut
and the ancient capital at Damascus.
This destruction was made imperative
by the severance of all outside sup
plies of coal. The conquerors of the
Turks continued the practice. 1t be-
came common sight to see long lines
of automobile trucks of the invaders
make their way to the "goodly noun
tains" for load of the wood.
The cedars of Lebanan have the
reputation of being particularly fra
grant. In ancient times the oil of
this tree was thought to have curative
properties and as such was applied to
the body by those suffering from
leprosy. The Romans used the oil for
the preservation of their manuscripts.
The great size of individual trees
produced profound impression upon
the beholder. The trunk often
reached the girth of forty-two feet,
which is not beggarly even when COM
pared with the giants of our Califor-
MIA forests. A height of ninety feet
was common and with this is to be
considered the fact that the spread of
the trees branches exceeded this.-Ex.

VI SIdVlldtIOIl. WHICH we DcSln 10
understand that happiness, health,
success, prosperity and every other
condition or environment are results,
and that these results are created by
right thinking, either consciously OF
unconsciously, we shall realize the
Importance of working knowledge
of the laws governing thought.
Those coming into conscious real
ization of the power of thought find
themselves in possession of the best
that life can give; substantial things
of higher order become theirs, and
these, sublime realities are so consti-
tuted that they can be made tangible
parts of daily personal life. They
realize world of higher power, and
keep that power constantly working.
This power is inexhaustible, limitless,
and they are therefore carried for
ward from victory to victory. OBJ
stacles that seem insurmountable are
overcome. Enemies are changed to
friends, conditions are overcome, ele-
ments transformed, fate is conquered.
The supply of good is inexhaustible,
and the demand can be made along
whatever lines he may desire. This
is the mental law of demand and sup
ply.
Our circumstances and environ
ment are formed by our thoughts.
We have, perhaps, been creating these
conditions unconsciously. If fthey are
unsatisfactory, the remedy is to con-
sciously alter our mental attitude and
see our circumstances adjust them
selves to the new mental condition.
There is nothing strange or superna-
tural about this; it is simply the law
of Being. The thoughts which take
root in the mind will certainly pro-
duce fruit after their kind. =
The greatest schemer cannot ga
ther grapes of thorns, or figs of this
ties" To improve our conditions we
must first improve ourselves. Our
thoughts and desires will be the first
to show improvement.
To be in ignorance of the laws
governing in the mental world is to
be like child playing with fire or
man manipulating powerful chemicals
without the knowledge of their ma
ture and relations. This is universal
ly true, because Mind is the one great
cause which produces all conditions
in the lives of men and women.
Admitting that you agree with
everything that has been stated, thus
far, and most persons will take no ex-
ception to anything that has been said,
it still remains to make practical ap-
plication of the law.
In order to take advantage of this
law, and put ourselves into harmon
ious relationship with it, so that the
benefit may be made manifest in our
lives, it is necessary to see that the
conditions are all met for its proper
operation. We may know the laws
governing electricity, we may have all
the proper mechanism, the light,
globes, the wires, the buttons, and we
may even know how to generate the
power, but if the connections are not
properly made, we can push the but
ton until doonsday and no light will
appear; so with the law of attraction
it is in operation all the time, every
where, something is constantly being

created, something is appearing, every
thing is continually changing, but to
take advantage of this process, it is
just as necessary to comply with the
law as it is in the case of electricity
or gravitation.
Mind is creative and operates
through the law of attraction. We
are not to try to influence any to do
what we think they should do. Each
individual has right to choose for
himself, but aside from this we would
be operating under the laws of force,
which is destructive in its nature
and just the opposite of the law of
attraction. A little reflection will
convince you that all of the great
laws of nature operate in silence and
that the underlying principal is the
law of attraction. 1t is only destruc-
tive processes such as earthquakes and
catastrophies, that employ force.
Nothing good is ever accomplished in
that way.
To be successful, attention must
invariably be directed to the creative
plane; it must never be competitive.
You do not wish to take anything
away from anyone else, you want to
create something for yourself, and
what you want for yourself you are
perfectly willing that everyone else
should have.
You know that it is not necessary
20 take from one to give to another,
but that the supply for all is abun-
.dant. Natures storehouse of wealth
is inexhaustible and if there seems to
be lack of supply anywhere it is on
ly because the channels of distribu-
tion are as yet imperfect. Abundance
is natural law of the universe. The
evidence of this law is conclusive; we
see it on every hand. Everywhere
Nature is lavish-wasteful, extrava-
CANT. Nowhere is economy observed
in any created thing. Profusion is
manifested in everything. The mil
lions and millions Of trees and flowers
and plants and animals and the vast
scheme of reproduction where the
process of creating and recreating is
forever going on, all indications of
the lavishness with which Nature has
made provision for man. That there
is an abundance for everyone is evil
dent, but that many seem to have
been separated from this supply is al
so evident; they have not yet come in
to a realization of the Universally of
all substance, and that mind is the
active principle which starts causes in
motion whereby we are related to the
things we desire.
1t is evident, therefore, that he who
fails to fully investigate and take ad-
vantage of the wonderful progress
which is being made, in this last and
greatest science, will soon be as far
behind as the man who would refuse
to acknowledge and accept the bene-
fits which have accrued to mankind
through an understanding of the laws
of electricity.

an early issue.

FRENCH BRIDES
 RETURNING HOME

Pittsburgh, April 29. - Incompati- bility of American and French cus- toms has caused 12,000 of approxi- nnately 50,000 French war-brides to return to France, according to Mrs Reginald H. Johnson, president of the recently organized LEspoir Franco American club here. The club, form ed at the suggestion of Mile. Odette de Bouglon, of Paris, who was in Pittsburgh recently, is expected to broaden the interests of French girls who became the brides of Americans overseas, and to make them content ed in their new homes.
 Mrs. Johnson, herself a war bride, and wife of a professor of languages at the University of Pitts burgh, declared that members of the club are learning English, of course, but slowly, and when one cannot talk, one thinks too much"
 We of France are individua1ists, '' she said. we live within ourselves and our own people, and that makes it doubly hard for the French girls who have left their homes and fami- lies. Not that they do not love their husbands, to be sure. but they miss their people,"

Orange. More than a score of years ago he conducted two cafes here. He was married to Miss Mary Ann Cur ran of this city in 1878.
 MT. Tracy was a member of St. Mary's church of Derby. He was a Democrat.
 Although he had held several pub lie offices in New Haven and Orange during his long residence, MT. Tracy was best known for his connection with the Knights of Columbus.
 One day in 1882, Tracy, with seven other men including Daniel B. Col we'll, met in c. T. DriscolTs little law office in the old Heublein building, then standing at Church and Court streets, and organized the Knights of Columbus. This small body, San Salvador council, No. 1, was for some time the supreme and only body of the now great and powerful K. of c.
 The death of Tracy leaves only four of the original founders of the organization alive. These, all living here, are William Shellwood, Daniel Colwen, c. T. Drisco1 and William Geary. The other organizers, now dead, were John c. Kerrigan, Dr. M c. O'Connor and the Rev. Francis
  church here.
 Members of MT. Tracy's family said last night that he presided over the first meeting of the organization ever held and that he was the first grand knight. He had the minutes of the first meetings and the only original history of San Salvador council, No 1, which it was said was donated to him by the council a few years ago. Although Father McGivney and MT Tracy were said to have been largely instrumental in the formation of the Knights of Columbus, Tracy's name through some circumstance, was Jeff off the list of incorporators. This matter was brought before the state legislature in 1917, and g bill passed and signed which stated that Tracy was one of the found. CTS.
 Tracy has held all of the higt state offices of the organization, of
