GIVES UP ALL
FOR CREED!
A. Houghton Pratt Tells Why
Madame Parma's Teachings
Transformed Him

Atlantic Highlands, N. j., Sept. q
If you were wealthy, of enviable social
and cultural position, exclusive club
man, member Of a big publishing firm,
married to rich WIFE,; would you give
it all up to starve for a mystic ideal
ism?
A. Houghton Pratt says you would
If only you understood!
He has done so, and in the Sane
tuary of the Divine Mother, the home
of the Life Religion at Atlantic High
lands, he told me of the coming cata-
clysm aEDut to engulf the world. Here
he is preparing himself to meet it
modern Noah.
"It is no mere social upheaval,
world wide war or revolution, but a
real cataclysm like the great Deluge,'
said Pratt. God has told me the
rushing of water, the trembling of the
earth, will mark the new upheaval
which is very near at hand.
"%No, it is not he end of the earth
not at all--it might be said to be the
beginning."
Madame Parma .,.
On a couch by Pratt's side, clad in
a white satin robe embroidered in
mystic symbols, was Nine. Parma, the
teacher who introduced him into the
mystic revelations which now guide
his life. She is beautiful young
woman, who was student Of I.odin,
the sculptor.
Since the revelations Pratt's wife
has divorced him. His mother-all
his family-have been estranged from
him. "
"These ties are nothing compared
to the greater ones" said Pratt II
you are willing to trust to the Su-
preme, even when you don't know
where your next meal is coming from,
YOU have reached the highest
Woman's Era
"The new era, which will follow
the readjustment after the cataclysm,
will be the woman's era. And the
great fight will be against accepting
the Mother God-the Divine Mother.
Even now the, signs of the Divine
Mothers approach to the earth for
Judgment may be seen in woman's
awakening and emancipation.
,"God is both male and female.
Heretofore man has refused to rec
lognize the woman element in the Di-
vine. But she is THE great element" "
Pratt's Altar
Before the artistic Pratt bungalow
which is an aesthetics dream Of ex-
quisite color and line, stretches the
garden toward the sea. In the fore
ground is a Korean altar, with a lion
and palm tree in reef.

desirable location so near New York
was passed by until we were guided
here.
