THE SPIRITUAL MAN

The Spiritual Man in you is that part of
you that cannot be hurt. 1t was the Spirit
ual Man in Jesus Christ which enabled
him to be crucifed without being killed. 1t
is something which can make you unaware
of pain even when your physical temple is
Icing cut and bruised 1t was the Spiritual
Man in Peter and James and John which
enabled them to sing when they had been
Leaten and were in JAIL which Illuminated
Stephen when his body was being battered
to pieces with stones. The Spiritual Man
makes brave men out of cowards and has
eriabled many victim of lust or liquo, or
drugs to cast off the false, unsuitable al
retites of the Elemental Self. The Spirit
ual Man, in a word works always for
fullness of life. No matter how adverse
the conditions, the Spiritual Man makes
possible that "peace that passeth under
nding."-Herbert Coolidge in Nautilus.

THE VANISHING FAMILY CIRCLE

Only a few days ago glance through
the shades of night had fallen would have
revealed family gathered around a center
table; mother sewing or knitting father
and children reading, or all engaged in
some domestic pursuit of equal interest and
uplift. 1t is not so now. The oldfashioned
and wholesome family life of America is
nearing the vanishing point, and what
have we to take its place? The club the
movies" the golf course, the automobile.
Good things in their place, but not worth
what they cost if that cost is to be the
destruction of that wholesome family life
that made this nation great and strong
through the lessons therein received.
With the vanishing of the family circle
we are losing much that was good and
W wholesome in the training for the future
citizenship, and we are gaining nothing
worth while to take its place. Lessons of
industry and thrift, love of home, high
luealS, SPlTitudl uPllIt diu hio"lea90 vi
worthwhile affairs-all these are being
lost sight of since the family life of Amer
ica has given away to the sordid pursuit of
wealth or the morbid pursuit of pleasure.
When James A. Garfield made that famous
speech in which he extolled the American
home as the place where all great questions
were discussed and settled, we had fam
ily life in America. Where would Garfield
go today to find that settlement place? The
home is deserted. Son has the family
automobile out somewhere. Daughter is
at the club dance or autoing with some
other son. Father is resting up after a
tiring afternoon en- the golf course and
mother is settling questions of art or litera-

throughout the temperate zone. Tremen-
dous storms will devastate North America
and northern Europe and the Atlantic.
Billiards will occur in latitudes hitherto
immune. Two great American cities will
be damaged by the weather, and a tornado
is indicated for section of the middle
west. In April there will be extensive
floods in central North America, in south
eastern Europe and Russia.
The month of June will be noteworthy
for severe earthquakes, entailing great loss
of life, in the near orient and in Central
America. These disturbances may extend
into August
Heat will be extreme throughout Ameri-
ca, Europe and Asia during the months of
July, August and September, but sufficient
rain will fall to insure good harvest,
which will be better than that of this year.
So much for the weather. In politics
the seeress foretells the sudden and tragic
death of four prominent statesmen, three
European and one American, during the
year. They will meet their death at the
hands of human enemies she asserts.
On the contrary, the year 1928 will see
the star of an at present unknown states
man rise in England until he will attain
dominant position in world politics.
In May or June there will be severe poll
tical disturbances in Europe. A world
wide war will be prevented only by the
intervention of great neutral power at
present staying aloof."
An interesting statement in the almanac
is the prophecies assertion that "the year
1928 will see three great nations pass laws
forbiddng the sale of alcohol. Countries
with such prohibition at present will re-
main dry"
Late in the year a revolution in "a
southern European country" will seriously
endanger international relations of that
country. A king, at present powerful, will
lose his throne and will be forced to
emigrate.
AS regards Germany, Nine. De Theleme
forsees, darkly, -trouble-trouble.
The financial difficulties of the allies will
not be solved during the year. The year
1923 will, however, "see a new campaign
in favor of the league of nations. ."--Ex.
