Lower Animals Seem

Perhaps the inclusive term ''individ-

scribe the attitude toward living which

The animal, absorbed as he is in
the business of arranging for the sur

far less capable than man of diStin-
gushing between himself and his race.
We need not naively attribute to him
any philosophy in order to explain his
behavior, but it is evident that he acts
as though he had arrived at that attt-
tude which is accounted by some eg-
ponents of social ethics as the ults.

Planetary life in all it's forms is a
cyclic and endless recurrence of births
and deaths. Lies naturalization
and standardization are life's great
necessity in order to fulfill the crea-
tive design and reach life's objective.
Man is a planetary being, as indi-
genous to earth as tree is to it's soil.
AS yet it has not been given to man
the faculty to discover life's inner
essence. All that we can know of life
is its outward appearance. We can
know it only by its words and how its
created effects impress US.
Life in hog expresses to the mind
of man gluttony and selfshness that
excludes the rights of other hogs.
Life in dog expresses affection,
gladness and loyalty that is akin to
devotion. Both are vitalized with the
! same life force made to manifest diff
ferent designs and have different OBJ
! jectives.
The great desire of both the finite
and infinite life is for self-expression.
Hence the fulfllment of this urge re-
quires vast variety of mediums thru
which it manifests its versatility, vir-
tues and values, smiles and frowns.
Flowers teach US life's apprecia-
ton of fragrance, beauty, color and
symmetry, but as no one flower can
express life's fullness of love for flow
ers so no individual life can express
but an infnitesimal part of the inf
mite life.
Only when we consider life a unity
and take the aggregate of all the mil
lions of human lives of earth, their
combined wisdom, varied activities
and constructive skill, do we get an
understanding of the mystery and
majesty of life-of God.
But man has within the God-life
and all the potential possibilities of
becoming a super-man, God-like
man. And after man has had long
time exposure of his life to earth's
changing experiences, before its cam
era, then the over-life will develop in
man it's full-size picture.

THE MYSTERY OF
IIFE.
X X X X X X X
By F. F. CORLISS.

In all life's magical maneuvers ii
wells itself, as much in the infinitely
large as in the infinitely small.
To US, life is simple, insignifi-
cant force in its microscopic forms
and finite beginnings. But as it I'M
folds and multiplies itself, it diversi-
fes and becomes more and more COM
pick, marvellous and magnificent.
In mans present state and develop
ment the absolute is beyond mans ca
pacity to understand. We see effects,
behold phenomena and observe the
method in all changes; but the crea-
tive cause, hidden in the midst of mat
tiers, changes, dying and disintegrat-
ing forms, lives and marches on and
and up into new and better forms
without end.
So, all that man can really know
about life and its intrinsic values and
virtues, is gained from it's appear
ances.
We have learned what the first
cause is by tracing effects back to
their source. Further we know that
the attributes and properties found in
man (the creature) must have been
antecedent in his Creator. AS it is
impossible to create or impart to
others something we do not possess,
so life's vital values to man are found
to exist in life's visible manifestations
(not in static life prior to its tangible
appearance), nor in life's disappear
ance into the ethereal and invisible.
These comments are made to give
peace and comfort to minds deluded
by the groundless teaching of Soph-
lists and Spiritualists, who claim life's
materiality is only unreality-just a
seeming.
That in the spirit world, invisible,
life is found in reality and perma-
nence; that it is the spirit life only
that matters, for which we should all
aspire and to which we shall all re-
turn as astral apparitions.
Erudite minds have given profound
study to the laws of life and find that
the methodical process which life
uses to expand, develop and diversity
itself through the universe, has grown
out of life's necessity. Nature has
also done nothing by chance. Back of
everything created there's reason;
confronting everything there's a de-
sign to be followed until fulfilled.
Natures objective is the exaltation
of the infinite life in and through its

innumerable finite parts. That life
might gain a rounded fullness and
completeness of expression, life's ma
terializations in forms diverse, with
qualifications varied, became a neces-
sity that life might be experienced in
its joys and sorrows by living.
Only thus can the finite life in men
achieve a nobility of character and be
endowed with that wisdom, power
love, justice and understanding which
is infinite.
While the universal life is ethereal

The ethereal Esprit world) is the
place where finite forms of life, like
suns and planets, moons and men have
their beginnings.
1t is natures storehouse of mex
haustible metaphysical substance.
Within it embryonic life lies dormant
sleeping, until quickened into growth
by the dynamic soul life which domi-
mates it.
Nature abhors a vacuum. The laws
of life teach us that life is progress
sive continuity ever rising through
forms and transformation from low to
higher levels. 1t never suffers retro
gression-a desire to go back to its
embryo or to an eternal, unconscious
sleep. To life once endowed with
reason, self-consciousness and mater
ialized, life in the spirit is an hal
lucination.
Natures purpose for life makes a
spirit life impossible, even if plausi-
BILE and desirable.
If human lives ceased to exist at
the grave because of life's diseased
and worn out physical embodiment,
then life's high purpose of exalting
life to it's highest achievement thru
finite lives would be aborted. Then
seventy years (Which is far beyond
life's average longevity would meas

for gaining that wisdom and expert
ence for which he was made. And
nature would lose her million of years
of effort in creating him.
Whereas when the departing life
steps out of it's old clothes into a
young and better physical embodi-
ment here on earth, then life's con-
tinuous progression is not broken OF
hindered but its POSITION must be ad-
vanced.
The death of the physical body is
just as natural and just as essential
to life's progressive youth and future
attainment as life's birth in a physi-
cal body is.

sea.
Nature teaches man that she will
suffer no break in the continuity of
life's evolving process; that the full
fiilment Of her intent and desire is
that life shall ever be renewed in ma
terializations more and more refined
and be kept dynamic that it may ac-
lively function to the complete ex-
preston of all its attributes.
To send life back at the grave to
that ethereal realm of spirit where
life sleeps in an unconscious, static
state, would be violation of natures
changeless laws. Impossible.
1t would be denial of mans right
to reason (the greatest gift of God to
mani. The use of mans intellect is
what makes him a co-worker with his
Creator in the evolution of life in it's
highest aspects and the sole exponent
on earth of love divine.
The mystery that life presents to
man is not one but many. And the
most battling is to isolate it, find it
and analyze it. With all the devices
that the genius of man has invented
to augment the acuteness of his
senses we can not find life's head
quarters in man or in matter, and
when we try to conceive life as a
thing apart and separate from matter
is becomes non-existent to US.
We call it the soul of man. Know it
as the soul of the universe. But the
great dispute is, whether life is the
designed or the designed. Is it the
creator of all things or by all things
created? Is it product or pro-
jeny, due to the marriage of the ele-
ments, welded by the blind force of
their affinities, their opposite polari-
ties and without an objective?
And friends, after you have studied
all the ologies, from the zoo to biol
ogy and theology, read all the philos-
ophy pro and con of the Orient and
the Occident, you will find great
minds differ in their answers.
And as you and must go through
deaths valley alone, so the answer to
life's mystery each one must discover
for himself.
One noted doctor says that the ma
iority of men believe that life's intel
ligence creates the brain cells and
other structures. Bue he dissents; re-
verses their order. I'm glad his is
minority opinion.
To assert that life is a product of
brain structure and cell quality is
analogous to saying that the engine,
its shape and iron quality is what
gives gas its energy.
We know that the engine is essen
tial to the gas, but as medium thru
which gas energy may be released and
expressed in speed, power and useful
ness.
The soul-life and it's embodiment
are made to work together, each COM
plements the other to make a finished
whole. When separated neither can
function to express values.
Life in a spirit world, disembodied,
is the greatest delusion of the ages
because it contradicts our reason and
natures laws.
Emerson said
Glitch your wagon to star"
That you may live and travel far
And glad are we of earth
For having done it.
Our star has raised US to par, why not
stay on it?
Back to ether's darkness, sameness,
means our nonentity.
For life to do and be needs seen sub
stance for identity.
So Mother Earth, home of our nativ-
ity, quite suits me;
Here we can work, love, laugh and oh,
so happy be
Thus we lessen life's great mystery.
