erns, said in his great conclusion: "Amld all the mysteries by which we are surrounded, nothing is more certain than that we are ever in the presence of an Infinite and Eternal En- ergy from which all things proceed"
 The Infinite is represented by "I." The ''I'' in man is the soul. 'Know ye not that ye are the temple of the living God?" asks the greatest of authorities.
 God is almighty. To the extent that His spirit rules in the soul, just to that extent is the person invincble The 'I'' is dictator over mind and body, and never should be ov erruled The q" was absolute in Washing ton, in Jefferson, in Henry, in Lincoln and Grant and Lee, and all great men. The divine attribute made them great,-the habit of thinking and acting as the "I'' dictated. To this supreme authoritity, only, did they ever yield. Their purposes were noble, constructive unselfish. Being human, they made many mis- takes, and suffered from them, but they were supermen, nevertheless. They really were gods, to the degree that the Infinite ruled in their soulsThe spirit is the real being, which IS part of the Almighty, and the part IS identical with the whole. The same is true, in degree of every human being. Our race IS divine, to the extent that the soul is developed When we realize this startling truth, that God ac- tually dwells in us, that we are royal, divine and immortal, we will think more of ourselves and keep the mind ceansed of selfish, i'm pure and destructive thoughts, which can pro duce only evil Clean and kindly and unselfish thoughts, dictated by the spirit until they be- come habitual, forming channels of useful ness in the mind produces only good for ones self and showers of blessings.
 
 Let no sinner imagine that in the effort to state, in simple terms, for mutual good these scientific principles of human. conduct, that the "chief sinner'' is such an egotist as to claim for himself the superior virtues which infalibly result from living in harmony with the universal spirit. Many a physician needs a tonic Many are the surgeons who need the knife. Many who proclaim the truth, being in tclligent find it a constant battle to embody It in their lives.
 Any thinker will approve this cold, syn thetic diagnosis of the ills of humanity as seen in the light of reason and not of revela- ton. It is the high duty of the press, wicked ly neglected by the Lords of the Fourth Es- tate, to publish the Truth which ''shall make us free.''
 T,.e press is the forum of the unregenerate, where sinners herding in the darkness along the rocky road can tell one another what's wrong with the world. Sinners in advance should yell their warnings to those following behind The greatest possible benefit which the press can promote is to make men think on these things; to realize that God reigns, and that divine love rules the world. Today it is the highest duty of every newspaper edl- tor, who has a soul above a porcupine and brains above a goose, to hurl in the teeth. of the destroyer of faith the living truth that the Christian religion, as taught in every church where the powers of the spirit are revealed to men is the greatest thing in the world; that 1t is the only hope of halting wars, the only way to abolish poverty, the only possible plan of developing civilization, and of overcoming the evils which are flooding the world with woe.
