Liberty and discipline" says
Prof. John Erskine, properly
defined, are much the same
thing. Or, If you prefer, disci-
pline is the preparatory stage
of the control Of life. Of which
liberty is the result"
In other words. your freedom
or your bondage Is determined
within yourself. And they de-
pend not on social or economic
conditions, but on your own sell
control.
Want to prove that? Then
for lust 81 hours watch your
self, Check the amount OF hap
piness or misery that comes TO
you within one day-and the
source of that happiness or mis-
ery. Then honestly ask your
self: 'Did this happen because
Fate hung it on me or some
other human thrust 1t upon me
or did it arise from some con-
dition In MYSELF"
ASK that bravely-answer 1t
honestly-and you'll be sur
prised!

The Material Universe

therefore is man placed at the
middle point of the universe,
that he may both serve and be
served" This is a character
iStic expression of what we now
call an anthropocentric view Of
the UNIVERSE Greek word
meaning the view that man is
the central point Of all things.
The, astronomical views Of
those days were the joint ex-
pressions Of mans poetic in
stincts and his powers Of un-
aided, natural Installation.
The earth, as the abode Of man,
was Of necessity regarded as
the center Of the universe.
About this center clustered
series Of concentric spheres.
In the surfaces of these trans
parent spheres were fastened
the various celestial bodies.
The moon was naturally on the
nearest Of the spheres; the sun
was located on the fourth, the
stars on the, eighth. Beyond
the ninth sphere, called the
Primum mobile, was the tenth
sphere, or heaven, where God
observed the orderly operations
OF his mighty handiWork and
rapturously listened to the
music Of the spheres" Here
IN is suggested q crude antici-
patton Of the contemporary
views OF Einstein, De Sitter and
Landmark, that the universe
is closed. In the early views
OF the universe, God dwelt in
a sphere which separated the
universe from an "outer void"
The history Of human super
stition is an integral chapter
Of the all-embracing history Of
mankind. Superstitions sur.
vive In many forms, even among
civilized peoples, down to the
present times. It Is almost un-
believable that, during our own

SECRETS OF

Every now and again some
body writes asking about psyche

Although the peak Of popu-

the analysts themselves to have
passed, there can be no question
but what its appeal to actual
