GREAT ENEMY OF HUMANITY
Spirit Of Fear Holds Many Back From

The greatest enemy of the human
race is fear.
If we could Danish fear in all its
forms, it would mean more to civili-

ably improved; much unhappiness
would be wiped out; efficiency would
be greatly increased, and success
would be the rule. With the removal
of fear, would come real human broth
erhood. True democracy would begin.
If you are not as well, as happy, as
efficient or as successful as you would
like to be- you may find the why in
your fears.

astronomical merits, are the soft

for two reasons-because they do not

Observation is quality that is easy

to do so. Try to notice the birds and
beasts, the men and things you. see
every day. Ask yourself at night What
you have seen during the day. At first
your answers will be very short, but
soon you will End that you are
beginning really to see things. 1t
is not difficult, and it is well worth
while. Allied with observation is the

ables us to see things as they are by
means of the second we see things as
they might be. Imagination makes
use not of the outward eye, but of the
