ed the harmony of different tones and
plays them in proper rythm and relat-
edness. In dealing with things Of any
and every description. satisfactory OF
harmonious experience in handling
them is possible only when full know
ledge of their nature, qualities and pro-
| per methods of utilizing them has been
acquired. In the intercourse between
human beings in general, knowledge
OF their nature and needs and require
ments also is necessary if lasting har-
mony is to be achieved. Deception
may be practiced and prevail temporar-
lily in dealing with fellow human beings
but in the long run it will destroy those
who practice deception as their regular
stock in trade.
Every difficulty and obstacle that We
encounter in our activities indicates
that we lack essential knowledge re-
quisite for achieving the end aimed at
or that we attempt to disregard the I'M
manent principles of being. By hav-
ing knowledge of natural laws and
being willing to act in conformity with.
them all difficulties can be avoided.
There is a saying from Professor
William James to the effect that every
mental state or everything psychology
cal that goes on in our makeup finds
an outlet in some form of action. and.
by action he means movement Of the
physical structure of the organism.
1t has been demonstrated over and
over again that not only does our thot
find an outlet in such actions, but thot.
feeling and emotion are expressed in
many other forms of bodily actions that
are hidden from the ordinary observer.
The flow of gastric and intestinal juices

FASTENED or retarded. depending upon
the nature of the mental processes at
a given time Renewed interest and
enthusiasm invigorate. What is going
on in mems minds is reflected even in
the sweat glands and in the delicate
muscles of the arteries and capillaries.
In Limos mental science class of
July 9 the subject of wealth was being
discussed. Mother Earth and natural
forces and agencies of every descrip-
ton were pointed out as the substan-
tial treasure chamber and source from
which all wealth is gained, and physical
human labor directed by human intel
LICENSE make it available for human
satisfaction and use. Only when raw
material has been modified by human
skill and made available for use can
lit be called wealth. The word wealth
is combination Of two. words, ''weol"
and things" and signifies that the
things in question make for human
well-being are useful to mankind.
Now, it is self-evident that this wealth
or useful things, under any and all cir
cumstances, remain just things and
nothing more. Things cannot control
man, and to talk about the right and
the power of wealth is all bosh.
But, of course, when peapIe believe
that wealth can and does control, they
are controlled by other men who use
things to dominate, control and ex-
plot them. People can and are being
controlled in that way nowadays just
as people in all ages have been influ-
enced by some fetish. totem pole, idol
or imaginary threatening monstrosity of
some kind or another.
No matter how much of useful
wealth aanyone may produce, unless it
can be freely exchanged and made
available to the people who need it it
becomes a dead loss on the hands Of
the producers. The vast production
made possible thro modern machinery
requires corresponding methods Of ex-
change or distribution to give justifi-
cation to every productive endeavor.
For it is certainly the greatest kind of
"a folly to produce superabundance
of everything that can satisfy human
wants and then to Illustrate its utiliza-
ton and resultant human enjoyment
and happiness.
Anyone who looks abroad upon hui
man affairs with sympathy and intel
ligence must be struck by the non-ad-
justment Of human business activities
to human needs. And he can come TO
no other conclusion than that this lack
of mutual adjustment and harmony in
human affairs is due to an inadequate
understanding Of what attitude, DISPOSE
ton and conduct is requisite of every
member in a community in order that
concord and general satisfaction may
