Escape From Shangri La
Philadelphia Record)


 Baby Jean Gauntt, l8 months old, has escaped from immortality. She is now at home with her mother in rooming house on West 78th Street in New York instead of living in Shangri La the 1l0- room home of the Royal Fraternity of Metaphysical ans on Long Island.
 And congratulate her.
 Baby Jean the infant who was never to hear mention of disease death and so become immortal The metaphysicians explained that illness and death are caused by destructive thinking, aid that i'm mortality actually be achieved not as a spirit or ghost" The baby lived with them for Is months she was returned when her mother refused adoption
 Suppose Jean had gone on living in Shangri La and never heard of illness death for years Some day she would have met these dogged pu1suers oi the human race and met them unprepared from previous knowledge
 Or suppose it worked Suppose Jean never be- came ill and lived forever. She would see hei friends and contemporaries grow old and die, while she lived on. Can't imagine her at some distant future deliberately thinking destructive thoughts ane so committing metaphysical suicide?
 No, happy Jean is back home eating po- tatoes and prunes and carrots instead of the fruits of immortality. When she is older Jean will we think agree with her mothers decision to rescue he1 from Shangri La
