The Llano colonist. [volume] (Llano, Calif.) 191?-1937, 1922-10-28

There can be no question about il that
| this is the problem Of the hour, and it
is only on the basis Of a common un-
Outstanding Of genuine truth that such
an organization can result. And when
we set up distinctions Of any kind By
labelling any general truth and APP
pending some particular name to ii. we
introduce elements of division. The Inn
portance of knowing the principles Of
| the functicning Of the human consci-
business and of using a uniform termio-
lnology is essential to bring about uni
yersal cooperation by all who are i'm
bued with motives Of beneficience fol
1.-THE whole human race. The great Joy
of benevolence{ will be ours when we
identify ourselves with it and become
channels Of constructive action that
will bless the world with plenty, happi-
lness and peace.
| At the last meeting Of the mental sci
ence class at Newllano one of the stu
dents wanted to know the meaning OF
the word PRINCIPLE. He had the no
ton that principle changed with every
Individual and locality, although the
science of chemistry, mechanics, math-
ematitics, etc. had been cited. as being
universally uniform in their constitu-
tional principles and processes Of utili-
cation.
The word principle as used in men
tai science, and iii general sense, &C.
cording to Webster. means the cause,
source or origin Of anything (beginn-
Iing); that from which a thing pro-
tceeds; as the principle Of action; The
principle of motion, Dryden calls ii
|prlmordiaI substance, element; con-
Istituent factor Of the universe. Being,
that which produces anything, opera
tive cause. Ageneral truth; a law mot
a statute enacted by human Iegisla-
Itcrs) embracing many subordinate
truths. A settled rule of action in hui
man nature.
Consequently, genuine immanent
principle Of nature does not depend on
human caprice, gusses, opinion or in
ference, it is discovery verified by ex-
Fermentation and demonstration. Ii
does not vary with anyone or any To-
cality, but is universal in its scope and
application.
A knowledge Of and life in ac-
cordance with these eternal principles
of right is the only real liberty avaiIa-
bic to man. We shall become liberators
of mankind as we disseminate these
principles Of truth for the freeing
ance. The path Of greatest attainment
and success is thru life Of service, Of
usefulness, One of the best affirma-
tons that the membars of our colony
can use is: I am becoming more use-E
full every day in every wayI" And BY
living up to that affirmation and con-
sciously determining to increase our
usefulness to the colony every day
there IS nothing beyond our ability to
achieve. No desire of our heart will
be denied to us, provided we will pay
the price of highest possible useful
ness.
Everyone should make of himself or
herself the object Of artistic aspiration
This is the highest aim of human en-
deayor and devotion. To develop a
noble manhood and womanhood is the
highest type of worship. All the OBJ
jects OF art in statue, painting and ar
chitecture pale into insignificance in
comparison with the art displayed in
the most useful kind and ben
sficent type of mankind. And we
ylorify the creative principle in nature

ourselves to this purpose. Thus only
