which refuses to give up its identity or
the thing to which it has been used.
tor it is what we call the nature of the
instructive or .sub-conscious action of
the human mentality to ever hold IN
violate and keep in continuous expres-
sion the thing which it was taught to
90, and where the ability Of self-think-
ing has not been developed, person
IS simply an automaton Of the dead
past.
James Ernest coIlinge says IN lis
Occultism Of the Occident," that
man is the climax Of all evolution
on this earth plane, and this is made
possible through the subjective action
OF human mentality. which is the store
house of habit, memory, or all accu-
INFLATED instinct from the time Of Iife's
first expression upon this earth plane
up to Its present manifestation thru
human form; evolution ever being !
further expression Of intelligence thru
an individual who transmits the same
to his progeny, in whom ii becomes
added instinct which he automatically
expresses; this is the underlying prin-
ciple of evolution and the cause Of all
instinct
The only difference between ne and
those that go on four feet, fly in the
air. grovel in the earth, or live in the
water, is the fact that we have a
CHOICE OF THOUGHT (can observe,
perceive, and learn). which is great

THOUGHT AUTOMATICALLY EX-
PRESSED, lin view Of this fact, Jesus
said. Father, forgive them, for they
know not what they dol for il con-
tains a new dynamic energy which be-

that eventually dominates the lesser
(inferior in intelIigence) instructive
thought-hence our evolution.
1t is the stationary, self-righteous
pharisaical mind that always perse-
cutes. 1t sets itself up as competent
judge as to the merits or dement's Of
new ideas of which it knows nothing.
1t sets up criteria and standards Of con-
duct entirely unapplicable to the dis
covery and places construction upon
the new teaching entirely foreign to
its content, intent, and application. 1t
is because of this that after nineteen
centuries of the dissemination of the
good news of the Golden Rule, as
guide of life, its practice has not as
yet been adopted and made the rule
of life in every transaction in so-call-
ed Christendom.
Speaking of the subject of tolerance,
the Duluth Masonic Calendar quotes
the American Encyclopedia Diction-
airy as follows:
"A disposition to be tolerant, pa
tient or indulgent toward Others whose
opinions or practices differ from or
are opposed to ones own, provided
such opinions or practices spring from
sincere and upright motives or consid-
erations. Kindly have in mind the
provided" Opposite the word toler-
alton we find this: Specifically. the
recognition eof the right of private
Judgment in matters of faith and wor-
ship; the liberty allowed by a govern
ment to every individual to hold or
teach his own religious opinions and
to worship how. when, and whom he
pleases, provided he does not violate
thereby the rights of others or infringe
laws MADE for the maintenance Of
decency. morality, and good order, or
for the security of the state.
And what do these good people con-
slider essential for maintenance of the
security of the present state2 That the
rights of property established through
violence and deception and maintained
through cunning and deception to-day
take precedence to and are superior
concerns, as compared with the re-
quirements of the wellbeing Of the
great mass of the people here and
now? The old predatory animal in
stinct, deeply rooted in and finding ex-
preston in. the sub-conscious action of
human mentality, dies hard and refus-
es to give up the things it has been
used to. These expressions of instinct
were perfectly normal and in keeping
with the personal point of evolution
when they were first expressed and
equally were they then the expressions
Of intelligence. but they have been OUT

come not only obsolete. but outright
