9 Itatioers' Ha!l. July, Publisbed Quarterly], THREEPENCE. The flifl of Uderstadig. mog all thigs desirable ad attaiable by huma effort, the Gift of Uderstadig is pre-emiet. For ext to the Holy Grail (huma love i its highest ad truest form), which is oly give to a few, this costitutes the most satisfyig ad permaet wealth. Those who possess it have the key to may treasuries; they commad may sources of pleasure, avoid may dagers ad afflictios, ad ejoy iestimable advatages. Ad because we fail to realize these facts it is oly that so may of us rest cotet with a meagre amout of kowledge (the basis of Uderstadig), with uobservat eyes ad ureflectig, uequirig ad impoverished mids. The extet of our Uderstadig is the true measure of us all ; ad is also the chief factor i our affairs, both i this life ad i those which wait us i the future. Our ability o all plaes, resourcefuless ad savoir faire i all circumstaces, success, friedships, ejoymet of existece, ad evolutioary progress, deped almost etirely upo Thus it. it cotrols every situatio, regulates our usefuless, ad moulds our destiy. I every busiess ad professio it is of utold value, for it is the fudametal ability, source of tact, foresight, prudece ad eterprise. The physicia, soldier, statesma, lawyer, ad pastor, alike fid it idispesable, ad fail or succeed accordig to their possessio or wat of this gift ; ad whether i the home circle, the court, or the legislative assembly it gives pre-emiece. I i all cases it the hall-mark of attaimet is fact, ad power. Without it we suffer limitatio ad fail. The employee who ca grasp affairs quickly ad do the right thig at oce is maifestly of much greater value tha a uitelliget worker. Promotio comes to such the Gift of Uderstadig securig it. The expert motorist with a seeig eye ad a hearig ear, ca istatly diagose the cause of a temporary failure of his egie He kows what to do, for he uderstads. But a dull-witted driver may be delayed for hours by the same mechaical trouble. Wise ad taleted people fid it difficult to associate itimately with igorat ad stupid oes. The most brilliat thiker ad talker becomes iexpressive ad silet i the presece of those who are icapable of appreciatio ad respose. Ad, cosequetly, me ad wome who lack Uderstadig exclude themselves from circles which are illumiated by itellect ad culture. I marriage, above all, there must be extesive comprehesio if there is to be ay large measure of happiess. We all gravitate to our ow sphere, ad if we remai dullards, with such must we cogregate here ad also hereafter. If we kow so little that we still love vaity, superficiality, ad worldliess of the most elemetary ad iae sort, it is folly to expect to ejoy the society of agelic beigs whe we lay aside our robes of flesh ad stad revealed i metal ad spiritual poverty. Lack of real adormet will disiclie us to itrude amog those with whom we should be maifestly out of harmoy; ad we shall istictively go to our ow place util such time as we become qualified to associate with souls more highly evolved. Wat of Uderstadig is the cause of our failure to comprehed the vital coditios ad pheomea aroud us, to kow ourselves ad each other, ad to co-operate with the physical ad spiritual laws that determie weal or woe. Ad such miscoceptio causes early all our bluderig, trasgressio, sufferig ad disappoitmet. For istace if we are igorat of the laws of : physical health, we make mistakes, ad brig upo *' The grad esselials of happiess are somethig to do, somethig to love, ad somethig to hope for.'

10 How 58 -^ The Herald of the Golde age. - ourselves ad also perhaps, upo others who deped upo us for guidace pai, wastig sickess ad premature death. Uderstadig of the coditios upo which health depeds such as pure ad atural food, abudat exercise, fresh air, ad regular work would save ourselves ad them, from much icoveiece, loss ad uhappiess. Kowig little or othig of the ievitable operatio of those higher Laws that are related to coduct, our treatmet of those aroud us, service to our fellow-creatures, ad spiritual progress those Laws which brig certai pealty or reward to every huma soul we are iclied to go carelessly through life ; iflictig ijuries by thought, word or deed; tramplig o the setimets or ifrigig the rights of others; ad thus sowig a harvest of retributio for the days to come. Eve refraiig from active ukidess we are, because of lack of Uderstadig, likely to waste life's opportuity for doig good ; to misuse or fail to use our wealth, itellect ad ifluece ; ad to leave this world little better for our existece, whe we go with empty hads ad wizeed souls ito the searchig presece of those miisterig oes who are clothed with the spirit of the heavely spheres. If it has ever bee thought worth while to ivestigate our latet powers ad to kow ourselves as spiritual etities rather tha as mere physical bodies " which have a soul," we suffer loss because of failure to uderstad our birthright as the childre of God, our iheret power to trasced the material cosciousess ad coditios, ad our measureless possibilities durig the immortal career before us because of this vital relatioship to a all-wise ad all-powerful Beig. Faith beig cosequetly small, our attaimet correspods with it i accordace with the law relatig thereto. O the other had if we have failed to recogise our persoal limitatios ad actual capacity, we are iclied to over-estimate our importace, or to get iflated with a udue sese of ifallibility, ad are the i dager of makig ourselves grotesque. The right uderstadig of ourselves would eable us to avoid both these sources of weakess ad their results. But most importat of all perhaps is the faculty of uderstadig other people. For it is through iability to realize their true itetios ad legitimate desires ad ambitios, their strivig ad temptatio, iherited temperametal weakess or bias towards wrog-doig, the difficulties of their eviromet, or urevealed disappoitmets ad sorrows, that we so ofte act towards them as we should ot do if we oly uderstood them better. Miscoceptio prevets our givig the exact sympathetic help they eed ad thus limits the service we ca reder. It also hiders the growth of friedship, for huma beigs ever get very itimate with people who misuderstad them, whereas they are greatly iclied to welcome the advaces of those who discer them aright. How may heartaches, separatios ad tragedies would be avoided if the Gift of Uderstadig were more cultivated ad less rare! How differetly almost everyoe would act if misapprehesio were ot so commo! much more philathropy we should see maifested, how much less trasgressio of Law, ad bluderig i all our persoal, social ad atioal affairs! Our very empire itself is threateed at this time because our statesme fail to uderstad our real, most vital, ad most urget atioal eeds ; ad are wastig valuable time ad opportuity i party strife or i promotig legislatio that is of dubious value or ecessity! ""^i "^^ ''^1 But some will ask, "How ca Uderstadig be icreased, ad this gift obtaied "? Ad the " aswer is, By real aspiratio ad persistet effort." It caot be bestowed upo a ma or woma like a title or a purse of gold. It has to be strive for, ad acquired by degrees, for it is the result of study, observatio, experiece, ad metal cocetratio. But our quest of this treasure, which Solomo wisely desired above all other gifts, will be furthered if we realize certai facts. It is primarily based upo practical kowledge resultig from attetive observatio ad sympathetic projectio of the mid. But it is also largely depedet upo persoal experiece, therefore the fuller ad richer are our lives, the more will our uderstadig icrease. To uderstad what goes o i a beehive, we must watch the doigs of the ihabitats, ad fid out K'liy they do certai thigs. This meas thoughtful attetio. The same rule applies to me ad wome. If we wat to kow why they do thigs, we must watch them attetively, ad with kidly sympathy, always rememberig that their itetios are probably better tha their actios would lead oe to suppose. Very few of us ever reach our ow ideal stadard, or make the physical istrumet bequeathed to us by our acestors perfectly resposive to our volitio. The, as our ow experiece is limited, we must read what others have recorded for our istructio or elightemet. History ca teach us much ; gettig ito close touch with all sorts ad coditios of me ca teach us more. Ad it were well for us to remember sometimes that although some of the most elighteed of our Race ca o loger speak to us with mortal togues, illumiatio ca be sought from them by telepathic equiry. Most of the " brilliat ideas," flashes of geius, ad revelatios of truth that ehace huma reputatios emaate from super-mudae spheres, for " Ispiratio cometh from above." Ad i every case whe huma metality fails to discer, we may feel certai that "God uderstads" ad will reveal the truth to those who serve Him ad makid. We must do thigs for ourselves ad others, ad be practically useful, istead of depedig upo others for almost everythig. No idolet ad lazy perso ca gai Uderstadig. Capacity ad talet are the result of effort ad practice. The ma who would uderstad gardeig must cultivate a garde ; the girl who would uderstad housekeepig that she may reig successfully i woma's kigdom "The simple duty that awaits our haod, is Goi's voice utterig a divie commad."

11 -*> The Herald of the Golde Age must begi domestic work ad superitedece. The same rule applies to everythig. We must be always fidig out " why the wheels go roud " cocerig everythig eterally askig, " Why? " We must lear to thik about thigs deeply, to cocetrate upo them util we kow all about them. To uderstad the people about us, we must do likewise tryig metally to eter ito their iermost lives so as to sympathize, comprehed ad help. Ad if we wat to uderstad our other eighbours the kisfolk of the aimal world, who are very much like ourselves i all their thoughts, setimets ad ways, because we are also icarate i aimal bodies we must thik about them sympathetically ad try to comprehed their virtues, hardships, ad sufferigs, ad the tragedies that overtake them. As the scales are thus removed from our eyes ad we realize the uiversal kiship that obtais, we shall desire to iclude them i the Golde Rule that is the fudametal basis of all true religio ad ethics ; ad shall feel costraied to " o uto them as we would that they should do uto us." We shall the willigly give up all participatio i their eedless butchery, i the eatig of their agoized bodies, or i the wearig of their pludered skis if procured at the cost of their death-throes for our persoal decoratio. It is also worth while to reflect upo the fact that the great seers of the huma Race, the fouders cf religios, ad epoch-makig leaders of thought, have bee abstaiers from flesh-food. It beclouds the psychic visio ad thus hiders the developmet of Uderstadig. As Baco truly said " : Much beef is ot good for the wits." ""^ "^i -"^i The Gift of Uderstadig will make us kee to improve ourselves ad our talets, ad to do somethig worth thikig about ere we pass hece; for it will make us aware that our future prospects ad coditios, both i this ad i successive lives, are determied by our preset actios ad record. We shall also be more careful to see that we do ot take udue advatage of others, tha that they do ot exploit us. Ad as we draw towards the ed of the preset life ad are brought face to face with the life beyod, we shall realize the folly of expectig to fid etrace to the weddig feast without a weddig garmet, or to ejoy commuio with wise ad gifted agelic workers if we, ourselves, are igorat, earth-boud, ucosecrated, ad lackig i high purpose ad achievemet.

E ach geus has its ow particular food, allotted by Nature ; ad Ma's food cosists or should cosist of fruits ad uts. From them he ca obtai all the elemets ecessary for the upbuildig of a healthy body ad derive the greatest amout ; of health, stregth ad eergy. Wheever we eat meat, we ivariably eat a certai quatity of poiso -which it is impossible to avoid. All aimals are costatly creatig poisos withi their bodies by the very process of livig. It would be impossible to fid a aimal body without them. Ay diet that furishes all the utritious properties of meat, without these poisos, is certaily to be preferred o that accout. All the utritive elemets cotaied i meat are also cotaied i a purer ad better form i fruits, grais, uts ad vegetables. Livig wisely upo fruits ad uts elevates the toe ad character of the body, icreases its eergies, ad reders the mid more clear ad active. The legth of idividual life as well as its usefuless ad freedom from disease are largely depedet upo the character of the diet. Ma should live to be at least a hudred years old without showig sigs of decrepitude, whereas the average legth of life is about forty-two jears. Somethig is wrog producig this result. Meat beig a stimulat, excites the bodily fuctios uduly stimulatig ad irritatig them i a uatural maer. Oe stimulat causes cravig for aother. Meat eatig ad alcohol drikig go had i had. The heart of the habitual meat-eater beats from 72 to 80 times a miute, that of a perso livig o a pure diet of fruit ad uts te times less per miute. Fiftee hudred extra heart-beats ever}- 24 hours makes a very appreciable strai upo the vital forces. Xhere ca be o questio whatever that the temper will ivariably improve o a fruitaria diet. " " O the ordiary mixed diet, the system is surcharged with toxic substaces which mix with the blood ad irritate the brai cells- The complexio will also become clear ad the e5'es will become bright. Not oly do fruits ad uts cotai a higher percetage of utrimet tha ordiary foods; ot oly do they maitai the system i a better state of physical, metal ad moral health ot ; oly do they simplify the wats of the household ad the toil of the woma ot ; oly would the adoptio of this diet prevet ie-teths of the misery ad physical sufferig i this world, ad a large part of the crime, debauchery ad drukeess; but, i additio to all this, the adoptio of such dietary would be the chief factor i all social, ethical, ad agricultural reform.

12 6o -* The Herald of the golde Age- -* I The Sbortcoiigs of the Public. (A "A J\i-ply to Layma" ). By A CONSULTING PHYSICIAN. read with much edificatio ad amusemet the slashig attack made o my professio by " A Layma " i the last umber of the Herald of the Golde Age. It is very good disciphe to have the mirror held up to us, eve if be a somewhat distortig oe, especially as i our professio we seldom meet with frak criticism, from the circumstace that we have a moopoly ad hag together as loyally as we ca. It is rash to criticise moopolists as Mr. Lloyd George has foud out to his cost. Nor do we frakly criticise i our tur, for the laity, though ot moopolists, are at least the holders of the purse-strigs, ad we, i our tur, must do homage to the Almighty ollar. This is ot a satisfactory state of thigs, for frak criticism is air ad light i dark places, but i the preset relatios of the professio to the public see how it ca be otherwise. I will, I scarcely however, emulate the cadour of " " A Layma i the reply I have bee ivited to make. " A Layma describes cosultats as goig through the solem farce of makig prooucemets of sleder value to the patiet at the cost of two guieas a visit. He does ot dwell o the value of the diagosis receixed at such visits, but, settig this aside, is there very much i the ordiary layma to elicit the best reasoig powers of the physicia, ad to reder perfect cadour " desirable ad eve possible? "A Layma gives aecdotes ; I will do the same. A physicia of my acquaitace had a patiet, a stout florid City ma, whom he discovered to be i the early stage of Bright's disease with complicatios uecessary to be detailed here. He gave the case axious cosideratio ad told the sufferer frakly that the oly way would be to discard all that he described as "good livig," ad subsist o a extremely restricted diet, which he idicated. Ad that is your deliberate opiio "? was the reply. " My deliberate opiio." "The, sir, give me leave to tell that, you i my opiio, you do't uderstad at my case all. I have o itetio of beig starved, whe i the same breath you tell me that am I labourig uder a debilitatig disease. I shall take advice elsewhere." Tile irate turkey-c3ck of a ma puffed ad gobbled himself out of the room, leavig the doctor to the comfortig reflectio that with him departed at least fifty pouds a year (at which sum he reckoed his fees for attedace o the family). He heard distat rumours of strog beef tea, tumblers of milk, sweetbreads, etc., i additio to the usual too geerous fare (prescribed by a more accommodatig medical attedat), ad had ot eve the cosolatio of feelig he had beefited the patiet, who departed this life at the ed of eightee moths, persuaded to the last that he had exhausted the resources of civilisatio i the treatmet of his disease. He might easily have recovered. This is such a frequet experiece that it is a commoplace that most patiets do ot wat the truth ; they wat oly what it pleases them to hear. A Layma " commets o our igorace, ad suggests post-graduate courses. I beg to assure him that we ofte kow much more tha we fid it at all coveiet or practicable to tell. It does ot take log to reveal the weakess, igorace ad flaccidity of the usual patiet, ad whe it stads revealed it must be ot braced, elighteed o, but cuddlt'il, treated as if it were a evidece of sesitiveess ad refiemet. Ad upalatable truths must be served i sauces that disguise their flavour before there is ay hope of their acceptace. Let " " A Layma figure to himself the average crowd that fills our cosultig rooms, ad the strai it meas to be polite, adroit, sympathetic, ad to combie this with the axious edeavour i as much real assistace as circumstaces to get permit. Possibly a stout lady, gross as a muffi-fed poodle, eters first, supported by a cofidetial maid. She has o idea of a sigle fuctio of her body, o remotest coceptio of the laws of health which she daily breaks. Her oe desire is to cotiue her pleasat sis with impuity. For her, semi-starvatio, combied with careful watchig cure. What is to be doe? is the oly possible Thackeray, i his " Vaity Fair," puts the dilemma far better tha I ca hope to do, ad therefore I quote : him The causes which had led to the deplorable illess of Miss Crawley were of such a uromatic ature that they are hardly fit to be explaied i this geteel ad romatic ovel. For how is it possible to hit to a delicate female, livig i good society, that she ate ad drak too much, ad that a hot supper of lobsters profusely ejoyed at the Rectory was the reaso of a idispositio which Miss Crawley herself persisted was solely attributable to the dampess of the weather"? Miss Crawley's medical attedats did ot fid it possible. I cosultatio they commeted more freely. "Old woma; full feeder; palpitatio of the heart ; pressure o the brai ; apoplexy ; off she goes," r. Squills said. " Get her up. Clump, get her out ; or I would't give may weeks' purchase for your two hudred a year." Miss Crawley aturally was ot preset at the cosultatio. The lobster may be : it vaquished ofte is, but the prevetio of illess i which " A Layma " fids us so sadly deficiet, is wholly beyod our power i dealig with the Miss Crawleys or ideed "The power to do a thig icreases as it it exercised."

13 -^ The Herald of the Golde Age. 6i with ay other ihabitat of " Vaity Fair." Custom ad self-idulgece are more tha our match. The ext etr\- may be the lady whose chief remaiig pleasure i life is to discuss her symptoms (chiefly imagiary) with ay doctor for whose time she is prepared to pay. We liste respectfully to the descriptio of that flutterig pai withi the regio of the heart, ad that extraordiary ad uique sesatio which precedes every meal. We kow that if it does exist she would ot be rid of it for worlds it is her oly occupatio ad iterest. The advice she eeds is " Aberethy Live o sixpece a day that ad of ear it." This beig impossible, a prescriptio is tedered. She reads it with the ease of log experiece ad murmurs reproachfully : " Why, that is exactly what Sir Biddleto Fogeyso gave me two moths ago! I cofess I had hoped for somethig ew. It oly gave such very temporary relief." Agai, what is oe to do? The ext arrival may be the youg ma who rus icredible distaces or lifts icredible : weights the object beig apparetly to see how hard he ca drive his heart without causig it immediately irreparable damage. Naturally he has ot the faitest kowledge of the rules uder which the heart is iteded to work, ad a temporary breakdow is regarded as a ureasoable state of affairs which a bottle of medicie ad a few gymastic exercises will istatly remedy. With blithe igorace he protests: " For I am to ru at Foozleto, you kow, ext week. Ca't you just screw me up for that? I jolly well do't care what happes after." You protest, ad explai that a perpedicular dive from a aeroplae would be a ifiitely pleasater form of suicide, ad are met by a fatuous smile of ubelief. Agai you prescribe, ad agai with the cosciousess of havig doe a thig which is almost wholly isicere. Yet whe his health is permaetly crippled, may doctors will i tur be reproached for the iadequacy of their cures. The ext may be aother type of patiet the poor clerk with a tuberculous lug. Perfect rest, chage to purer air, geerous diet, but pure food, freedom from worry these are the ecessities of his case. What use to dwell o the impossible? They are the moopoly of the well-to-do. Oe suggests a treatmet which is but compromise ad caot succeed, ad aother failure goes dow to the doctor's log cout. I must assure " " A Layma that it takes two to tell the truth; oe to it speak ad oe to receive. Also, you caot give people what they caot take.

He eats coarse food lade with poisos which damage the circulatio irretrievably by the time he has reached his fortieth year ofte far earlier.

I do ot hesitate to say that if the public kew the real facts of the dietetic questio ad the rui brought upo themselves by the ordiary habits of flesheatig, quite sevety per cet of disease would disappear.

What I saw i Bristol. By Alfred C. Osbore. The memories of a scee I witessed a few days ago haut me like a horrible dream. I caot forget it. I wish I could. I wet to a slaughterhouse i this big City of Bristol, where there are may scores of such des of cruelty (about 120), i which dreadful tragedies are perpetrated day by day. These foul places are licesed for the killig of iocet aimals ; ad the me commit these murders i whatever way they thik best. Hardeed me, may of them with cruel faces ad pitiless hearts, ofte half itoxicated ; irresposible me from whom o accout is required, ad upo whose work o iquest is ever held. Have these beautiful creatures o rights? o they ot feel eve as we feel? Imagie the picture witessed. I A dark, evil smellig, dirty shed, divided ito several compartmets, or stalls. A cow i each ed. A ma came over stall waitig for its tragic from the slaughterhouse from the other side of the yard carryig a log rope, oosed at the ed, ad selected a beautiful cow ad slipped the oose over her hors, the other ed of the rope beig threaded through the woode block drive ito the floor of the slaughterhouse. The poor aimal was the pushed out of the shed ad walked fairly willig as far as the door of the slaughterhouse. The commeced the struggle for life ad freedom. The aimal had sceted blood ad feared its doom. This mattered ot, there was o cosideratio for it, so the poor creature was forced forward a few steps by two or three me ad boys pullig at the rope through the block. The barbarous struggle wet o, the me givig blows ad kicks ad pushes, ad twistig her tail (causig great torture). She was got alog the horrible ad slippery floor, step by step, terrified, sweatig, patig with protrudig togue, ad breathig very hard, a truly horrible sight to behold. But the worst follows. Arrived at the block, the rope was pulled as hard as possible, thereby straiig the poor creature's head to the groud. The killer the took the pole axe which has a log poited spike ed, ad with both hads raised high i air, with all his might aimed a terrific blow at the cetre of the forehead betwee the eyes If the aimal's head has ot moved, ad the killer is clever ad thoroughly experieced at such dreadful work, the aimal falls dow with a sickly dull thud. The spike of the axe which has puctured the skull (about 3^ iches) is draw out (sometimes twisted out, breakig more of the skull boe) ad a cae with ragged ed is iserted ito the horrible woud, ad the brai is stirred ad broke up, while the aimal wildly kicks. But whe the killer is iexperieced, or slightly itoxicated, or the cow moves, the blow is ofte give i the wrog place, ofte the eye is smashed, ad while the poor aimal is writhig ad kickig i such awful torture, several more cruel blows have to be give i order to brig the victim ito quiescece. Whe o its side, the head was pulled up, the eck straied, ad a sharp butcher's kife was draw dow its eck ad throat, alogside the widpipe, to the breast. Two figers were iserted i the gapig woud ad a artery forced ito sight. This was pierced ad out gushed the hot blood, which, by the way, is saved for " huma food," after which the skiig ad cuttig up of the carcass commeced.

15 '^ The Herald of the Golde age. -* 63 Karmic Law. (The Key to Happiess ad Right Livig). Beig part of a Lrcture ^ivf at the Iteratioal Offices 0/ The Order of the Golde Age i \fay, igl2. By CAPTAIN WALTER CAREY, R.N. I discussig this subject I propose to make some comparisos betwee the well-kow Natural Laws ad the Spiritual or Karmic Law so little compreheded i this coutry. The word Karma is take from the Sascrit ad literally traslated meas "Actio." It is used i our laguage i two seses, oe whe we speak of a persoal Karma, referrig to somethig that has happeed or is goig to happe to a idividual ad which is due to Karmic law ; the other is whe we speak of the Law of Karma, a spiritual law of Cause ad Effect, which operates so that there is o such thig as Luck or Chace or Accidet. Everythig that happes occurs oly i accordace with such Law, ad is the ievitable outcome of previous causes, this world beig ruled by ivie justice. I scripture this Law is summed up i the setece " Whatsoever a ma soweth that shall he reap." All kidly ad uselfish actios produce good Karma, ot always immediately, but quite certaily, ad all ukid ad selfish acts store up bad Karma, both sorts, good ad bad, beig repaid at some time or other. But ot ecessarily i the same sort of evets ; for istace, if to day we ill treat someoe, it does ot mea that at some future date we shall receive exactly similar ill treatmet, but that the quatity of pai or pleasure we meted out will be meted to ourselves. I the words of Arold : It kows ot wrath or pardo, utter true Its measures mete, its faultless balace weighs. Times are as ought, to-morrow it will judge, Or after may days. By this the slayer's kife did stab himself; The ujust judge hath lost his ow defeder ; The false togue dooms its lie, the creepig thief Ad spoiler rob to reder. Such is the Law that moves to Righteousess, WTiich oe at last ca tur aside or stay ; The heart of it is Love, the ed of it Is Peace ad cosummatio sweet. Obey! All actios cause as it were a Karmic debt, which may be paid to us either i a lump sum, or perhaps i small amouts spread over a period of years. Kidly acts for may years might be repaid i some piece of good fortue, or sudde recovery from illess, or perhaps i small worries, or i good geeral freedom health. from The cruelty Karma of might ecessitate the loss of a limb, or costat ill-health. The importat poit is that all misfortue, ill-health, ad uhappiess, are caused by the workig of laws set i motio of our ow free will, by our ow thoughts ad actios, ad that a ed ca be put to all this misery whe we choose. New Karma ca be created which will balace agaist old Karma of the opposite sort. This spiritual Law of Karma is oe of Nature's laws ; it is oe of the laws made by the Creator, just as He has made the physical laws as, for istace, the laws rulig the forces of electricity, of fire, or of water. So whe oe is asked, "How do you kow of this law " "? What is your authority " "? How do you kow if it is true "? the aswer is much the same as if oe were asked the same questios about some physical law, ad the reply is that the Law \\as discovered by me who gave time ad study to the subject. To ivestigate, you ca either go to some place where the sciece is studied ad put to practical use, or you ca lear from books or teachers ad experimet for yourself. If, i your experimets, the result always comes out i harmoy with the Law, you may feel assured that the Law is truly stated ; ad i a like way the truth of this spiritual Law ca be tested. It is ofte stated that spiritual matters are mysteries, ad are ot iteded for comprehesio, ad so they are ot studied. It is oly fifty years ago, or less, that the same was said about physical Sciece that we are ot iteded to kow, ad that it is wrog to pry ito the secrets of Nature. May therefore looked o scietific ivestigatio as a dagerous playig with the forces of evil. Yet physical Sciece has goe ahead, ad the idea that we must ot ivestigate is ow see to be osese. So also it will be with spiritual Sciece. I the East the subject has bee studied for ceturies, ad they have a mass of most iterestig iformatio, much of which ca be tested by observatio, ad i this laws have bee formulated. way various spiritual The Law of Karma is oe of these. We must remember that whe a scietific ma speaks of a scietific law, he does ot mea that our kowledge of the law is perfect. He accepts it provisioally, always o the look out to modify it whe ew facts are discovered. So our scietific defiitios are oly huma attempts to put ito words as accurate a statemet as possible of what we have discovered about certai laws, ad they are always ope to revisio. For istace the laws of Chemistry have bee modified sice the discovery of radium, ad, as our kowledge icreases, scietific laws are brought earer ad earer to the truth. So with the Law of Karma, as kowledge icreases modificatios i the details of our huma iterpretatio of it will occur. It is very importat to tmderstad Natural Laws, because uderstadig brigs power ad safety i everyday life, as well as icreased cofidece ad comfort. Istead of fearig the forces of Nature, they are diverted to our coveiece, ad we utilise these forces, just as i steam power, motors, electric light. " Kowledge gives power." Igorat people fear the forces of Nature. Savages, seeig a eclipse, are terrified, ad attribute the pheomeo to the actio of evil spirits; but educated people 'Without love, beauty i«udiscered i mi or agel."

16 64 -* The Herald of the Golde age. -* have o fear, because they uderstad the cause ad the law which is maifested. So with Karmic Law : igorat people live i a state of fear; they fear accidet, bad luck, misfortue to themselves ad to relatios ad frieds, ad whe these thigs happe cosider them iexplicable "a bolt from the blue." I the leadig article of a daily ewspaper, speakig of the Titaic disaster, it was said, " The mystery of evil is a problem that has exercised vaily the greatest itellects of all ages.... I despair we " moders have mostly give up the puzzle This is how people speak ad thik at preset i a coutry which though well versed i atural law is igorat of spiritual laws. Those, o the cotrary, who have studied Karmic Law make use of their kowledge to avoid settig i motio the forces that produce misfortue ad disaster. The questio ow comes " What is the good of these laws " "? What their purpose " "? Why has the all-lovig Creator placed us here surrouded by, but igorat of the workigs of such dagerous forces? Let me take a aalogy from ship-life i the Navy. I a ship there are may rules ad regulatios. A yougster jois ad fids himself amogst strage ad ufamiliar surroudigs; he is igorat of ship disciplie, util he lears by the bitter experiece of ruig up agaist the rules ad regulatios. The object of the regulatios is ot to provide the officers with the opportuity of servig out puishmets, but to make these youg bluejackets thik, ad so trai them ito useful seame. The object of the laws of Nature ad of Karma is ot that the higher powers may fid pleasure i puishig people, but to make us thik, ad to trai ad evolve our spiritual faculties. What is the best way to trai ayoe i ay brach of life? Is it a good pla for the teacher to stad ear the pupil ad " cotiually say o ot do this," " o ot do that," ad to be for ever correctig him i time to prevet mistakes? Practical people kow that such a scheme is useless, because the pupil gets ito the habit of relyig o the warigs, ad ever lears to thik ad act o his ow iitiative. Ship-life elucidates the poit. I a ship where the executive officer iterferes cotiually with the details of everyoe's work, the result is that, after a while, o oe i the ship will act o his ow resposibility, ad she becomes 'slack' ad useless for traiig purposes. The best result is where the executive officer lays dow good geeral orders, ad the leaves idividuals free actio, followed by praise ad promotio for good work, ad puishmet for bad work. This system produces reliable officers ad me, accustomed to thik for themselves. I oe ship i which I served, the officer whose duty it was to admiister summary justice i the small every day cases, used the followig pla. After fixig the blame, he would ask the culprit what was the puishmet due to him, ad whe the ma said he did ot kow, would express astoishmet that ay sesible perso should have broke ship rules without calculatig the puishmet, i case he were foud out. Havig rubbed that idea i, ad ordered the full puishmet prescribed by the regulatios for the offece, he would the equire if the ma thought it sufficietly severe to prevet his agai breakig that particular rule. This "pla worked well, the me gettig to see that puishmet was ot due to the officers, but simply the atural effect of breakig rules. Ad grader scale, it is a like scheme, o a ifiitely that you fid i Nature. The Creator has arraged Natural ad Spiritual Laws; ad ill health, accidet, bad luck, ill-fortue, are pealties due to our havig broke certai Laws i the past, ad these could have bee calculated ad avoided if we had had the wisdom to discover ad obey the laws uder which we live. ^^ '^Wi ''9i The word " accidet " is a misomer, for there is o such thig i a world ruled by ivie wisdom. All Sciece demostrates that owhere i Nature is there accidet, all is order. Nowhere is there irregularity of actio ; fire does ot cause heat oe day ad cold aother. We who live i the West have leart much of physical laws, ad as a result may thigs that were oce termed accidet do ot ow occur, or if they do are attributed to the true causes. I the East where so much has bee discovered of spiritual Law, may evets uitelligible to us are accouted for. I the recet case of the Titaic if that were a " accidet " could ot the all-lovig Creator have set aother ship to the spot ad so have preveted all the loss of life ad sufferig? How easy for him to have ordered a slight alteratio of wid or of curret or i hudreds of others ways arraged that aother vessel might have bee brought ear. That He did ot do so, is a proof that the disaster was ot what is called "accidet," but a evet i accordace with the workig of ivie Laws, both physical ad spiritual, which caot be evaded. To uderstad the loss of life ad all the sufferig etailed oe must search the Karmic laws, ad for a full explaatio it would be ecessary to kow the complete details of each separate life ad perhaps of previous lives, util the actios that ow produced this Karmic result were ascertaied. Ad though this is impossible, we may see that a explaatio of every detail could be foud alog these lies for this particular disaster, ad for all those that darke the pages of history. must poit out some characteristics of atural I physical laws, ad of the spiritual or Karmic laws. 1. All are ivariable i their actio. This reders their comprehesio possible. 2. The physical laws act without feelig or setimet ; fire burs whether for the good purpose of warmig a poor perso, or for the wicked purpose of burig a eemy. The motive does ot cout, or i ay way affect the matter. I spiritual law motive is most importat, because it affects the character of the actor. "Whatever oble fire is i our hearts will bur i our work. As we are, so our work is."

17 ' -* The Herald of the golde age. ^ 65 The laws exist i all coutries whether the 3. ihabitats are aware of them or ot. The physical laws are always i actio i the Kaic laws ; ad every Nature, ad so are day we make good or bad Karma. law is beeficet if worked with, 4. Physical ad destructive if eglected or worked agaist, ad effect follows immediately o cause. Steam is a good servat provided the laws of steam pressure ad the stregth of boilers are followed ; but, if these laws are eglected, a explosio follows. Wireless telegraphy is useful, but if the operator disregards the laws of electricity he may be struck dead. Karmic law is beeficet if worked with harmoiously, but if we cotravee it the results are disastrous, as see i the eormous amout of misery ad uhappiess i the world. Yet a beeficet arragemet i the workig of the Law usually provides a cosiderable iterval of time betwee cause ad effect, which allows opportuity for thought ad for the udoig of wrog actio. -^ *, ^^ I cosiderig ship-life we saw that the rules ad regulatios i a ship are to make the sailors thik ad act wisely. The Natural ad Spiritual Laws i this world are also to make people thik ad act wisely. The object of the ship-life was to trai the bluejackets ito useful sailors; the object of life o this plaet is also to trai us. God's pla for us is Evolutio physical evolutio uder the pressure of Natural laws, ad spiritual evolutio uder the pressure of Spiritual laws. Ad right coduct is i all cases that which works harmoiously with these laws. It is easier to uderstad Karmic Law if we accept the doctrie of Reicaratio. It gives a logical ad reasoable explaatio for so much that is otherwise uitelligible ad apparetly cruel ad ujust. It is to the effect that each of our earthly lives is but short period i the much larger life a of the huma spirit, that we come here for a course of traiig, ad, after a iterval at the ed of each life spet i higher worlds, retur agai ad agai to this plaet, wearig differet bodies each time, ad livig uder differet coditios, i differet parts of the world, util our traiig is complete, ad there is o more eed for terrestrial birth ad death util we are sufficietly evolved to exist i higher spheres elsewhere. The scheme is ofte compared to the traiig of a boy at school who returs term after term util his educatio is complete, ad he is fit to take his place i the larger life of the outer world. The Laws of Reicaratio ad Karma, take together, explai the extraordiary diversity of coditios of huma life because immortal spirits beig i differet stages of developmet ad traiig, require differet lessos. Thus are accouted for geius ad great itellectual powers, idiocy, diseased bodies, ad cripples from birth, these beig cases of Karmic results from former lives, ad ot istaces of favouritism. The child bor a geius is probably oe who formerly studied ad acquired talet ; the crippled body is the dwellig of a spirit that i a previous icaratio acted with cruelty ad lack of sympathy toward others. The usual objectio to Reicaratio is this. If it be a fact, why do we ot remember former lives? Ad the simplest aswer to that questio is that we are ot yet fit to remember ; we are ot sufficietly evolved to be trusted with that power of memory. For if we did remember, how may of us are strog eough to treat well ad kidly those who i a former life ill-treated us, whe ow i this life placed i our power? What chace would the crimial have of makig a fresh start, if at birth he were recogised ad all his previous misdeeds were remembered agaist him? Is ot the arragemet that a spoge is as it were over the slate of a wiped memory, merciful ad beeficial oe? Later o, whe more evolved ad likely to tur our kowledge to good use, we probably shall remember. I coutries where these spiritual laws of Reicaratio ad Karma are geerally uderstood, amogst the populatio is foud a very much greater cotetmet ad acceptace of the coditios of life, ad a much happier frame of mid tha the restlessess ad discotet to which we are accustomed. I Europe where Karmic law is ukow, the greatest fear of most people is the fear of death ; this is proved i everyday coversatio, i our ewspapers, way we speak of the departed ad of death as though it were the greatest misfortue possible ad i our ghastly fueral ceremoies. I the East, death is ot feared. Not that they like beig killed or dyig ay more tha we do, but they have o dread of it. The Japaese shewed this i their war with Russia. There were umberless cases where me wet cheerfully to what they kew was certai death. 'Patriotism ' certaily, but with the additio I thik of the kowledge that death is merely the passig of the spirit to ew coditios, ad that if the Karma of the life has bee good, the motives uselfish, ad life's duty doe, the the ext existece must be happy, ad death o matter for dread or fear, but promotio to a higher life. Someoe may ask whether, if everythig depeds o Karma, the Creator persoally atteds to every little evet of life, adjudgig the reward or puishmet My? aswer is No.' He has laid dow laws, ad there are great Itelligeces, who admiister these laws, who decide how much of what is owig shall be settled durig a life, i what form ad whe the reward or puishmet shall be awarded. I sea life the Admiralty or some high authority lays dow rules ad regulatios, to be admiistered by officers of various raks, the regulatios decree a certai reward or puishmet but the officers determie the exact amout ad form, ad whe ad where it shall take - place. 'i -#1 Now there are some people who thik that everythig may be attributed to Kismet or Fate, ad there is a good deal i the idea if rightly "He who sowi courtesy reaps Friedship, aod he who plats kidess gathers Love."

18 66 -^ The Herald of the Golde age. -* uderstood, for we must remember that a idividual's Karma may be divided ito two parts. I. The Karma he is bor with, due to previous lives, which turs up i character ad the coditios he is bor i, ad i some of the happeigs of life. This, as i our preset state of evolutio we do ot remember former lives, may be cosidered as Kismet or Fate, origially fixed by ourselves, but ow beyod our cotrol. 2. The Karma that is made from day to day by thoughts ad actios. As this amouts to about three-fourths of the Karma that happes, ad is quite uder our cotrol, it is of the greatest importace that we should uderstad about it because it ot oly affects our preset life but also will tur up i future lives as good or bad Karma, exactly as we ow act. Ad so we reach the practical questio, how are we to cotrol our Karma? Karma is caused by our actios. Our actios are caused by our thoughts. Therefore if we cotrol our thoughts, we shall cotrol our Karma. So ayoe who uderstads Karmic Law ad wishes to put i practice what he has leart, must first take i had his thoughts ad himself, for if thought is right it will be a easy matter to make actio right ad the Karma good. To some people the idea that what oe thiks matters, or that thoughts ca be cotrolled, is ew: but directly the subject is studied it is see that it must be so : For example the buildig i which the reader is seated, existed first i the thought of the architect, ad without that it thought could ot have bee built: it would have bee o use to supply bricks ad materials to the workme without the plas ad directios, ad if the thought had bee faulty ad icomplete, the buildig also would have bee faulty ad icomplete. Ad it is the same i all our idustries. The perso who does ot cotrol his thoughts, may be compared to a ill disciplied ship firig her gus, dischargig projectiles without aim or method i all directios, wastig ammuitio, ad a dager to everyoe. Whereas the battleship with disciplie ad cotrol, fires oly selected projectiles, ad chooses the rage ad aim, ad the every shot hits the object aimed at. To cotrol this discharge of thought forms requires time, trouble ad patiece; oe has to be cotiually pullig up i oe's thikig ad askig oeself is this thought goig to do ayoe good? If ot, it must be dismissed, ad a useful thought substituted, ad the habit of selectig the thigs that oe chooses to thik about must be formed. Actios also must be take i had, ad cotiually scrutiised to see if they ted to helpig o the geeral scheme of evolutio. If ot, the actio must be altered; ot a easy matter i the case of log established habits, but it ca be doe with perseverace. Ad so we gradually lear to cotrol our Karma. Now after studyig these spiritual laws oe looks roud for some persoal habit to experimet o, ad I thik the easiest subject o which to make a start ad oe by which most Eglish people are makig bad Karma is our habit of eatig flesh. The eatig of flesh causes bad Karma because cruelty is agaist spiritual law; it does ot work for the evolutio either of the ma who is cruel, or of the perso or aimal the cruelty is directed agaist ; therefore two or three times a day may store up bad Karma. Now the first thig to do is persoally to ivestigate ad satisfy oeself if killig is cruel? Is the trasport of aimals cruel? Are coditios i cattle ships wickedly cruel? Should the meat trade ad traffic i flesh be ecouraged ad patroised by people who hope that they are evolvig ito spiritual beigs? Are the me ad wome who are egaged i this traffic, i this slaughter, helped by their work i their evolutio as immortal spirits? If the aswer to ay oe questio is that the coditios are cruel, the it is agaist spiritual law. The ext poits for ivestigatio are, is this habit of eatig flesh, which we were brought up to believe i as ecessary, i accordace with the atural or scietific Laws of Health? Are we buildig our bodies of the best materials whe we eat flesh? We kow that our bodies like a buildig cotiually require reovatio ad repair; are we usig the best bricks Or? do we prefer to use material from some buildig that has bee demolished ad is goig ito decay? All these questios are dealt with i cosiderig the atural Laws of Health ; ad oe fids that flesh-eatig is agaist the laws of the huma body. Is it to be wodered at that we are uhealthv? We break the atural Laws of Health, ad produce sickess ad disease; we break Spiritual Laws bv our cruelty ad callousess i ot carig how our food is obtaied, ad so both by thought ad actio we daily make bad Karma. Ad we are told that the Karma of cruelty is usually sickess ad disease. How to chage all this?

19 The Herald of the Golde Age. -* 67 Metal ad Physical Beauty i Japa. By ARTHUR M. GROWEN, M.A. AS we walk the streets of aciet cities i the Islad Empire we are impressed with the youthful freshess of the people surely this must be the lad of perpetual youth, judgiiio; from the appearace of the wome. As we meet them ear temple shries, i bazaars, beautiful parks, or i the domestic circle, oe great truth is impressed upo the mid, that here is a people itroducig themselves to the world who have charms all their ow, who seem to have preserved themselves from eui ad mid weariess, as well as brai " storms " who have carried ito the greater work of life, vivacity ad a type of beauty to be foud owhere else throughout the broad uiverse. I ote first their attitude toward life. They are ot apologizig for beig i the world. They kow how to meet the emergecies ad exigecies of life. A marvellous self-commad is theirs, ad while serious ad digified, they kow the value of joyohsess, that laughter is better tha medicie. *'Laug^h ad the world laughs with you, Weep ad you weep aloe ; For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth It has trouble eough of its ow." Have they ot leared that " the sese of humour is the oil of life's egie. Without it the machiery creaks ad groas. No lot is so hard o aspect of thigs so grim but it relaxes before a hearty laugh. Persistet cheerfuless is like sushie, a costat blessig." They kow how to make poetry out of prose. I saw me ad wome, boys ad girls, coahg the great ocea steamer, Empress of Idia, ad ot oe seemed to regard the work as drudgery ot oe had a slouchy do't-care air or a ucomely maer; they laughed as they worked, ad i seve hours poured eough coal ito the bukers to carry us across the Pacific it seemed fu for them. Every movemet was rhythmical ad deliberate a lesso i physical culture. They have the art of maual labour dow to a fie poit. I have see a little boy, ot as high as a yard stick, move with the digity of a Grat or a Gladstoe; it was ot a imitatio, but the atural expressio of the boy's ature. Yes, ad that poor girl of lowly birth ad meagre outlook has a carriage may a Quee would covet! These wome of Japaare seree, good tempered, self-forgetful, childlike ad simple. They are a part of their romatic coutry, ad are e rapport with their eviromet. Their couteaces express calmess ad digity i happy combiatio ; irrespective of age, stregth ad simplicity, vepose ad power are plaily see. These mothers of such me as Togo ad Ito gave a physical edowmet to their childre that has stamped the atio as oe of the greatest, whether regarded from the stadpoit of busiess, diplomacy or military prowess. After all, woma, the home builder, makes history, ad the family is the uit of power ad progress. Te boy who is taught to commad the kigdom of his mid will fid a promiet place i the processio of his age. The girl who to the world is taught to rule the heart will give oble rulers i her descedats, for " kid hearts are more tha coroets." Like the idividual, the atio causes its ow su to rise or set ad the power of that secret is foud hidde deep i the heart of the wome of the atio ; i a broad sese the wome are the atio. The physical is the basis of all achievemet. The ma \\ho causes two blades of grass to grow where oly oe grew, may be a beefactor, but those who sed ito the world attractive ad potetial childre are more tha beefactors; they are true world-builders, for mid will triumph log after the "wreck of matter ad the crash of worlds." I reach of the humblest toiler i the dusty laes of life are the secrets of metal ad physical beauty.

Ca we fid factors more importat? They love the book of Nature, ad well do they lear its maifold lessos. Their bodies are ot distorted by hurtful fashios ; their limbs are allowed free play their vital orgas ; are ot restricted by foolish customs i regard to clothig; they are breathig, joyous beigs, glad to live; ad work is a pleasure, for they kow that idleess is the eemy of happiess, ad uhappiess the foe of beauty. The wrikles i a Japaese face are those of laughter they cotrol feeligs, hece they cotrol faces, for the face is the reflector of the thoughts etertaied i the heart. As a wome thiketh m her heart, so is she. These people do ot become agry, ad petulat tempers are ot i order the little childre are taught self-cotrol eve i their play; whe they grow up, it is a part of them. Bodies, to the Japaese, are valuable ad worthy of every care. They practice self-deial for give eds, ad by example they are teachig the world. The mothers of Japa are givig their best powers to childre the ; coutry is called the childre's paradise. These people achieve thigs because they are ready for the opeigs which are preseted i the " KowUdze, like wealth, must be used for the relief of Ma's estate, or its possessor will be weighed ad foud watig.

21 with -* The Herald of the Golde age. -^ 69 Tbe Way of tbc Trasgressor. We have always bee told that the way of the trasgressor is hard; ideed there is a geeral cocesus of opiio amog the moralists o that score ad it has bee a vital poit of moral educatio. Persoally, I have ot reached my preset stage of experiece without seeig (with Captai Cuttle of glorious memory) that the bearig of this remark lies i the applicatio thereof, ad that they have give us the wrog examples ad got hold of the wrog trasgressor altogether, while the real Simo Pure escapes eve with laudatio. The way of the moralists' trasgressor is ot hard at all. It is really immesely amusig, ad he gets may thigs out of life which the respectable perso etirely misses. He lives every miute of his time. The trasgressor who really does make a hash of his existece is ever with us, but he is quite a differet sort of peiso from the bird-scarer set up by teachers. I shall come to him presetly. The favourite trasgressor of the moralist is the ma whose departures from covetioal morality show that he has the courage ad iitiatio to thik for himself, whose eyes are set i questio marks, whose voice is a perpetual "stad ad deliver" challege to the commo place, ad whose very slips are, i the aalysis, geerous. He is the eteral vagabod. He sees life as a fasciatig adveture ad fli^'s himself with the abado of a lover ito all her wild delights ad surprises. For him the ope road, the perpetual cofoudig of the smug ad sleekly prosperous. He will have oe of their shibboleth. To go daily to his office, ti) be gloss\' i broaikloth, a coteted taxpayer ad husbad, the soud party ma, the chose Chairma of Boards, ad later the revered testator, the subject of a half-colum obituary i the Times ad a sympathetic allusio i the parish magazie ot for him are these thigs. He kows they must be yet, i his gospel, woe be to them by whom they come to stupefy the world. I caot altogether defed him. He is ot always a source of joy to the body politic whatever he may be to himself. Nor ca he be offered as a example to the youg idea, yet he has draw the heavy fire of the moralist too log ad has thus diverted it from the real eemy. Ideed he is a lovable creature. He has foolish ethusiasms, yet how mfiitely wiser tha the reasoed scepticism of selfishess. You ca ever tell what he would be at, for Prudece, the god of our moder worship, is to him, aathema, ad at the very ame of respectability or i its awful presece, he pales visibly. He lives carelessly as a bird ; he is ever cruel ad ever mea his ; empty purse he is passig rich the best, ideed the oly boo-compaio i the whole world ; full as a hive with bees of amiabilities, illusios, romaces. The best the respectable will say for him is that he is o oe's eemy but his ow fie praise ideed i these days of cut-throat competitio, though it be uttered from the remotest heights of superiority. But he seeks ot praise or blame, save as food for the spirit of hutour that is i him. He seldom repets ad eve i his very repetace is hilarious. No, the way of this trasgressor is ot hard. It is the true primrose path. Uder differig coditios would that we all waked i it, for it leads to every Utopia that vvas ever worth dreamig, from Shakespeare's Forest of Arde to Morris's " News from Nowhere." Ideed this trasgressor is a true Shakesperia. There is ot oe of the plavs that he does ot make more savoury by his gracious presece. He is Falstaff, Mercutio, Yorick, ad a hudred other aliases. Eve amid the terrors of Lear, he is still the Clow. He is the joy of life, immortally youg, the ch;irtered libertie of poetry ad art. Ad whe he dies ot i the odour of sactity O, very far from that! we all kow i our heart of hearts that we could have ifiitely better spared a better ma. For, as has bee truly said, he is greatly related. Art is a rebel ad a trasgressor. So is Geius; so is Eterprise. Every oe of them smashes the rules ito fragmets, ad breaks a fresh road which will presetly be trodde bare by the followig feet of the dull ad respectable persos who abused it while yet umade. Therefore, let us love our trasgressor ad call him our Pioeer the gay herald of a happier world. "^l -"^i -^i The moralists did foolishly i pitchig upo him as a target for their scor, for there is a real trasgressor, slikig off uoticed, from whom they might draw a portetous moral ideed. He is the ma of broadcloth, of settled opiios, of sterlig bak balace, whose selfishess, takes almost the sactio of religio, so fixed ad steadfast is it. He is the Emietly Respectable who has ever give a thought to others, though he trasacts outwardly all the formal duties of his statio. Never has he heeded the voices of mercy ad truth. Wisdom has builded her house but he prefers the restaurat. To ourish him, lives, iocet ad beautiful, are daily sacrificed i every horror of cruelty. To fid cures for his self-iflicted ills, creatures, higher tha himself, i so far as they fulfil the liw of their ow beig, are carved alive, stupefied with curare, ifected with his foul diseases. Life should be easy eough for him with all these miistratios,but the way of this trasgressor t's hard, for it is the Eteral Law that the merciless obtai o mercy. Whe ho should be i his prime. Nemesis, the heavy-footed, the tracker of the gods, is o his trail, " sure she follows, uhastig but restig ever," ad her houds are premature old age, disease ad death, for the blood-thirsty ad deceitful ma shall ot live out half his days. Nor does he. The frightful catalogue of diseases i Milto's Paradise Lost does ot eumerate half the ills that, self-iflicted, weigh dow the ma who trasgresses the law of his ow ature. Where he has chastised others with whips, he is himself chastised with scorpios. Yet eve this seems less terrible tha to have goe through life with a heart " OvT greatest glory is, ot i tieyer fallip, but i risig every time we fall-

She is the real trasgressor, for she breaks the basic law of love, the commo huma coveat of sympathy. Out upo her; the world is the poorer for her presece, ad her way is ot easv for herself or others. She ages early the hard lies come about her mouth, the hard eyes repel, the igoble wrikles betoke selfishess ad shallow greed.

Amiel. epressio ad Worry. By EUSTACE H. MILES, M.A. The duty of a depressed ad worried perso is to lear what depressio ad worry are, ad what they do ; ad the to decide to cure himself sesibly. epressio ad worry are ugly. The perso who worries is uoleasat to look at. epressio ad worry are ot oly ugly, but upleasat ad objectioable. The perso who is depressed is upleasat to be with. Oe would rather ot be with depressed ad worried people. Amog other udeiable features, they seem to suck out oe's vital power ad to deplete oe's eergies ad spirits. epressio ad worry are wasteful. They use up force which mi ;ht be tured to good accout. It is more wasteful to worry tha it is to take a hadful of moey ad drop it ito the deep sea. epressio ad worry are cowardly. They caot exist without a strog elemet of fear. No courageous perso ca be depressed ad worried. epressio ad worry are poisoous ad paralysig, they upset the breathig, the heart-beat, the circulatio, the digestio ad i fact every part of everybody. The very word "de-pressio" suggests a heavy ad crushig ifluece. O the other had, happiess ad hope have a toic effect o the blood, ad o every orga of the body ad every fuctio of the body. epressio ad worry are quite as poisoous as ay poiso i a chemist's shop, ad, just as bottles which cotai poiso are labelled " Poiso," so people who are depressed ad worried are marked i a special way ; they have a particular attitude, maer ad expressio. epressio ad worrv are worse tha mere poisos; they are ifectious diseases. Those who are depressed ad worried ted to make others depressed ad worried, just as oe perso who hurries ad hustles ca put others i the same state of mid ad body. Worry ad depressio are ot effective i ay respect whatsoever, or ca the least good be traced to them throughout history. For these further reasos, which we should fully uderstad ad realize, we must decide oce for all that we will ot be guiitv of these two sis. For sis thev are. They violate clear Commadmets of Health ad social ad moral well beig, as truly as actual murder ad theft do. They rob us ad others of that which is more precious tha moey; amelv, vitalitv ad happiess. Ayoe who has grasped a little of what they mea must agree that depressio ad worry are pysical ad moral offeces; they are amog the greatest mistakes oe ca make. epressio ad worry are ot preveted ad cured util the perso is uaffected by circumstaces ad by other people... ad ca go amog those who are depressed ad worried, ad ot oly keep cheerful himself, but make them cheerful, simply by the power of radiatio.

Bashford, who stated i Court that he was i charge of the Imperial Cacer Research Fud Istitute, but who also admitted thai he had ever treated a case of Cacer except i aimals, accordigly wrote a article for the British Medical Joural which charged r. Bell with tradig o the credulity of the public, ad accused him of quackery. This libel was directed agaist a hoourable Physicia who took his egree as a octor of Medicie more tha 40 years ago, who coscietiously, ad at cosiderable pecuiary loss, gave up operatig for Cacer i 1894 because he was coviced by log experiece that the kife did ot cure, ad who has bee a Cacer Specialist ever sice, earestly egaged i studvig the disease by cliical observatio, ad the treatmet of huma patiets. Yet the author of the libellous article oly took his degree i 1902, ad admitted that he had ever had ay geeral practice, ad did ot operate himself, except upo mice, rabbits, dogs ad horses. It is to be feared that the public will be iclied to thik that the large amout of moey give to the Cacer Research Fud is ot beig used to the best advatage, ad that the much vauted " Research " carried o i its Istitute by the Superitedet who states that he has ever treated a huma patiet for Cacer, is quite iadequate i such a case. For this admissio suggests oe very coget reaso why " they had ot bee able to fid out what was the cause of'cacer," as r. Bashford told the Lord Chief Justice. r. Bell declared that te per cet, of his Cacer patiets had bee cured, ad he placed his case books for the past three years, recordig the treatmet of 325 patiets (25 per cet, of which were for Cacer), i the hads of the defedats thus establishig his boa-fides, for they were uable to refute or take advatage of this importat evidece.

This importat trial will give great ecouragemet to those members of the Medical Professio who stad for progressive thought, freedom of actio ad coscietious declaratio of truth. Ad it is to be hoped that the result will also give a great impetus to our Cause for it proves that our cotetio that the dietetic treatmet of Cacer is the most hopeful oe, ad that fruitaria diet is a valuable prevetive of the disease, is based upo irrefutable evidece. The aily Mirror published the followig particulars after the Trial : " r. Bell has had a most distiguished career, ad his researches have resulted i improved methods of treatmet beig adopted i cases of cacer, smallpox, cosumptio ad diphtheria. He obtaied his M.B. degree from Glasgow Uiversity, with commedatio, i 1868, ad two years later, after writig a thesis o cholera, received his M.. degree. I 1872 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Faculty of Physicias ad Surgeos. urig the seveties he advocated a improved method of treatig diphtheria, which brought him may appreciative letters from medical me throughout the world. He also poited out for the first time a method of treatig smallpox which did away with what is termed the secodarj' fever, which was ivariably a fatal stage of the disease. I the eighties he called attetio to the fact that costipatio was a predisposig cause of disease from the fact that the blood absoriied offesive material. This coditio of the blood was termed auto-to.xaemia a term applied at the preset day. This was the first time such a coditio of thigs had bee poited out i the history of medicie. r. Bell was also the first ma to take a micro-photograph of a pathological object, so that he is the pioeer i this particular work of research. I 1S96 he read a paper before the Gyaecological Society of Lodo demostratig that Cacer was a curable disease without operatio. At this meetig he gave examples of recovery which had take place uder his method. r. Bell was also amog the first to advocate the ope-air treatmet of cosumptio. urig the whole of his professioal life he has give special attetio to dietetics, bclh as a prevetive of disease ad as a curative aget. He has strog views upo the beeficial effects of abstaiig etirely from butcher meat ad adoptig a diet which is i complete harmoy with the physiological ad aatomical relatios of the alimetary caal. He is of opiio that as much as possible ucooked fruit ad vegetables, together with cheese, eggs ad milk, should costitute the pricipal diet of a ma or woma who wishes to retai health ad survive to a healthy old age. His covictio is that were such a diet adopted geerally disease would rapidly disajipear ad Cacer would be o-existet. This cotetio he bases o the fact that the cells of the body require livig ad ot dead material to supply them with a particular form of utritio, which ca oly be derived from vegetables ad fruit i their atural ripeed coditio i other words whe they have bee cooked by the su.

I the poorer catos, which prosperity has passed by, the Cacer death rate is low or ormal, though the same climatic coditios prevail. The rate is thus highest i Appezell ad Lucere lowest i ; Valais. Mr. Russell has had the assistace of Embassies ad Legatios, Govermet epartmets, Assurace Societies, ad may more i a positio to provide him with idisputable facts. Of all of them he has made excellet use ad has provided weapos for the food reformer which may ideed be termed weapos of precisio. The book is o dull record of statistics, however. It teems with iterest ad raises may questios beside Cacer which are of the first importace, for they bear o all the issues of atioal health ad well-beig. I readig this book, with its lucid statemets ad reasoig, the feelig left is that of amazemet that people will ot ope their eyes to the dagers aroud them. What is the medical professio about as a whole? There have bee warigs by a few physicias i these pages, but how fsw whe the umbers ad ifluece of the doctors are cosidered. Ad what is sciece? doig Ad our statesme? Are they cotet to mark time by fiddlig away precious momets ad hard-wo moey o the vivisectio of mice, whilst these truths are starig them i the face? \\'hy ot start a serious ivestigatio o the lies Mr. Russell suggests He? has made out a excellet prima facie case. Let such a ivestigatio be ru as a part of the work of the Cacer Research People, or i coectio with it, but for Heave's sake let us be supie o loger while the people die. Oar Food Reformers i every lad would do well to remember that the most Humae effective ad weighty argumet agaist Argumet, the meat traffic is the cruelty ivolved i it. Ad this plea should be emphasized o every suitable occasio, for it always commads respect eve if it does ot brig about coversio to the humae life i all cases, ^fe ad wome who are at all advaced i spiritual developmet, caot fail to be moved by the thought of the icalculable amout of pai that is iflicted o the aimal creatio simply for the sake of paderig to the uatural ad depraved appetite for flesh that obsesses a large percetage of the people of Wester atios. Ad they are istictively costraied to wash their hads from further participatio i barbarity that is so ubecomig ad degradig to cultured ad elighteed souls. Compassio prompts them to adopt this course, self-respect edorses this promptig, ad they caot forget the imperative obligatio to be mtrciful that rests upo all who respect the commads of the Christ, or who claim filial relatioship to a beeficet ad all-lovig Creator. Ad whe coverts to the Food-Reformatio are made from this stadpoit of humae priciple, they geerally remai steadfast ad immovable, otwithstadig icoveiece or occasioal discomfort ; whereas those who become abstaiers from flesh for the sake of their ow health ad advatage to save their ow skis as it were sometimes revert if circumstaces make the path of abegatio too difficult. to awake the imagiatio It is therefore ecessary of our readers frequetly cocerig the horrors of cattle trasport ad butchery, lest they become supie ad forget the great cry of the aimal creatio, ad the eed which exists for our humae propagada.^^ ^t ^^ The arrative by our earest co- Meat Trade worker, Mr. Alfred C. Osbore, prited Cruelties. o page 62, gives i moderate laguage a fair idea of routie work i private slaughter-houses, of which there are about 400 i Lodo, ad a correspodig umber i every city ad tow throughout Christedom. Facts of a far more distressig ature miijht have bee recorded ; but to prove that his descriptio metio that it is is ot exaggerated, I will oly possible to obtai from hide merchats by hudreds, the skis of bullocks' heads, showig from six to twety blows of the pole-axe. Some cotaiig eleve ad thirtee holes ca be see ay day at our Headquarters. The followig extract from the Stadard, of May 30th, suggests much more tha is recorded : actually " A elderly butcher amed William Bolto, died yesterday i RawclitVe Hospital, Chorley, as the result of ijuries iflicted by a bull which he was preparig to slaughter. The aimal was fasteed to a chai ad a rope through a ose rig, ad before it could be firmly secured, it pied ad butted Bolto 10 the wall, ifjictig severe ijuries to the chest." A bull does ot break away from a rig passed through its ose, uless half maddeed by terror Love is the first priciple of existece ad its oly ed."

25 -r The Herald of the Golde Age. -^ 73 ad pai. I have heard of cases where aimals have bee i such agoy through repeated blows descedig i the wrog place, that they have broke the chai which holds them dow ad have got free. The combat which the takes place betwee the victim ad its executioers ca hardly be imagied, but of oe fact I feel certai, amely, that o flesh-eater, however ardet a lover of such food, would be able to eat ay portio of the wretched creature thus doe to death if he witessed the process. If butchery were doe i the ope istead of behid closed doors, the eed for our advocacy of a humae ad atural diet would soo cease to exist. Therefore we must try to make people thik about these thigs that they do ot aee. Oe of our members who visited the Abattoirs at eptford metioed the followig i his report "It ofte requires a great amout of force to get the bullocks ito positio.... I otice the drovers did ot strike the aimals, they probed them with their sticks which had short spikes i the ed of them.... The poor aimals are allowed to stad ad watch all that is goig o, the pole-axig, skiig, ad disembowellig of their fellow victims. I some cases the blood is swept betwee the legs of the live aimals that are awaitig their fate.... It was distressig to watch the agoy of the bullocks i the pes awaitig their tur ; they shook, their fiesh moved as if they had a electric shock, ad whe the last aimal was left I could look o loger, its agoy ad fear were idescribable. I took particular otice of the features of all the idividuals egaged. Whe I looked ito the faces of these me ad wome, I thought of the Kigdom of God, ad how little was the chace they had to grow i grace ad to develop kowledge of that Kigdom while egaged i such a bloody trade. Ad I loathed the perverted tastes that demaded their presece i the shambles." If further testimoy be ecessary, let me quote from the report made to me by Captai : T. F. Watso, C.E.M.S., after visitig; Chicago " I all my experiece, icludig the horrors of the South Africa War, I have ever see aythig quite so appallig ad horrible as the sight which here met cur gaze. I rapid successio are they (the pigs) dispatched, their throats beig cut at the rate of oe thouaad per hour, amidst yells of agoy ad a stech of fresh blood so awful, that I ca almost hear ad smell them as I write ow, thousads of miles away. The sight of the cattle pes is eve more harrowig. The ffodless, bloody murderer, with his cruel pickaxe, passes alog a elevated platform, admiisterig the blow i rapid successio. I would to Heave I could call it the 'death blow,' but, alas, it ofte oly wouds, sometimes reders ucoscious, but more ofte tha ot, just sufficietly ijures the poor creature as to cause it itese agoy. Up tips the floor of this stall, ad with a agoizig groa (so terrible as to make oe just wat to yell, out of mere the pity), poor wretch slides off to the blood-liooded floor, where by a shackle attached to oe hid leg, it is hoisted ito the air ; ad the the real death blow comes by the double-edged kife which is used to cut the throat. I am coviced that this act is ofte the first stef> to ucosciousess, ad i some cases terrible agoy is suffered util this merciful blow comes. Eve at this distace, thousads of miles away o the wide ocea, I facy I hear the death-groas, screams, ad yells of thousads of harmless aimals." The oly way to get this cruel traffic eded is by makig people realize the cost i sufferig of their meat ratio, ad by educatig them cocerig the possibility ad advatages of our reformed ad atural dietary. Our literature is writte gratuitously for this purpose ad I ivite every reader to share the labour ad cost of its dissemiatio. Mere cotributios to the R.S.P.C.A. will ot abate this cruelty, for their Ispectors do ot attempt to eter private slaughterhouses or to draw attetio to the barbarities perpetrated i them. May of the wealthy patros of that extremely wealthy Society would be offeded if they did so ; ad although very large sums of moey are frequetly beig bequeathed to it for the prevetio of cruelty to aimals, the policy of the Coucil seems to be based o a rigid determiatio ot to iterfere with Butchery or Vivisectio the two worst forms of cruel exploitatio which afflict the aimal creatio. This policy was challeged at the stormy.aual Meetig of the Society o May 21st, by a umber of subscribers who objected to the electio to the Coucil of two me who publicly supported Vivisectio. I would respectfully suggest to the R.S.P.C.A. Coucil that if they do ot feel disposed to do aythig to reduce the umber of aimal victims of the laboratory ad abattoir, they might at least devote some of the wealth at their disposal to supplyig the butchers of this Coutry with the recetly iveted pistol appliace for killig cattle more humaely, for they would thus both beefit their orgaizatio ad prevet much sufferig. * * * The followig extract from a Motreal Behtd the ewspaper reveals some of the scees dagers i c 1 ^- j j.^ 11 Abattoirs ieat-eatmg, ad icidetally corroborates the evidece give by umerous eye-witesses of the cruelties attedig this uholy traffic : " Washigto, May 22. r. J. V. Laddey, of Newark, a former Federal Ispector of meats at abattoirs ad slaughterhouses i New York ad Newark, startled the House Committee which is ivestigatig the meat-ispectio service. He said that cosumptives visited the abattoirs to drik the fresh blood of the slaughtered cattle ad carelessly expectorated o the floors of the killig rooms. Sewer water, so black ad filthy ill may istaces as to auseate was used to wash the carcasses. r. Laddey, who resiged from the meat-ispectioti service, o ecember 27, 191 1, i his letter of resigatio to Secretary Wilso, stated he did so to brig to the Secretary's otice certai coditios i the meat ispectio service. Amog the evils referred to were the followig : 1. Iadequate toilet facilities for employees. 2. The skiig of heads of cattle still alive. 3. Failure to tak or destroy codemed orgas uder Govermet supervisio. The 4. filthy coditio of the clothig of meat carriers. 5. The examiatio by the kosher me of ifected ad codemrd lugs o the same table with ispected ad passed lugs ad other orgas. r. Laddey told the Committee that may of the carcasses he codemed were accepted ad passed afterwards by his supi-riors... that if the regulatios were eforced, as they ; should be, two or three times as may carcasses would be codemed as are ow codemed. He coteded that may uwholesome ad ufit carcasses were passed ad that may other codemed carcasses were passed o appeal to superior authorities." The same evils exist i this coutry, ad it may be well to remid our readers that outside our large cities there is virtually o meat ispectio at all ; while as for cruelty, there is o restrait or check of ay sort i the vast umber of private slaughterhouses that exist i this ad other lads. "It it always less trouble to believe a lie, tha to prove it is't true.

This istitutio is doig excellet work ad deserves more public support. Amogst the ovel food specialties exhibited, some of which are metioed i aother colum, the most oteworthy that I came across was Mapleto's Fritter Mixture.

For we are sufferig from a dearth of practical statesmaship with the result that wire-pullig, log-rollig ad political triflig with the destiy of our Empire are brigig us ever earer to some great atioal catastrophe. Physical deterioratio, decay of patriotism, icessat warfare betwee workers ad employers, icrease of disease, poverty ad luacy, eglect of agriculture, love of pleasure ad hatred of disciplie, ad the meace of powerful foreig foes, call for admiistratio of the ablest ad most far-seeig sort, ad immediate steps to set our atioal affairs i better order. Istead, however, of our legislators takig the situatio seriously, they are foolig away precious time i Parliamet apparetly bet o mere party warfare ad a policy of destructio which icludes both Church ad State, as well as Natioal Credit, Public Cofidece, ad the future welfare of our Race. Ad the misguided people of this Kigdom seem cotet to have it so, because they fail to discer the sigs of the times ad will ot liste to those who declare to them the truths that belog to their peace. The 'hadwritig o the wall' is umistakable, but beig misled by demagogues, they will ot heed. Oe of the most urget of our Social problems that of our I eglected agriculture. earestly is recommed our readers to obtai Sir William Earshaw Cooper's book " Britai for the Brito," which deals impartially ad exhaustively with it. Although first published at 10/6 (Smith, Elder & Co.) importace as a educative ifluece was soo its recogised, ad a cheap popular reprit was brought out by the Sheffield aily Telegraph (price two pece, 3d. post free), copies of which ca be obtaied direct from its publishig offices, or from our if Headquarters more coveiet to eur members. Our Ho. Treasurer has studied this subject for may years, ad has writte stadard works upo it that are teemig with importat facts too log urealized by the Commuity. Amog the results of this eglect to grow our ow food which he emphasizes, are the followig 1. Pheomeal poverty of the masses, uparalleled i ay civilised State. 2.

Four-fifths of our arable lad out of cultivatio ad uder grass, so that may millios of our populatio who might be supported by agriculture, are forced to overstock the maufacturig labour market.

29 -* The Herald of the golde Age Humae Teachig for our Childre. By OLGA LAZARUS. NO love is greater tha that which a mother bears towards her child. She would shield it from every sorrow, protect it from every pai, ad sacrifice much i order to give it eve a trasiet pleasure. It is, of course, well that we should do all i our power to make the first few years of life as happy ad as bright as possible, but \\hile edeavourig to give our V^Ti**, A little oes a cloudless lv o*^*j=^^ childhood, let us reiiot""^^^^ member that true is happiess oly the outcome of a deep ad lovig sympathy with everythig that lives ad breathes ad moves, ad which is for ever promptig its possessor to do little deeds of kidess ad to utter little words of love. It is strage how cheaply may of us hold life. We would ot dream of allowis: our childre to destroy aythig that is of material value, ad yet some of us oly smile idulgetly whe we see them kill isects ad rob ests of their eggs. Most costly thigs may be replaced, but a life that has bee destroyed has passed for ever from our ke. Ad is it well that our childre should, whe they grow up, lay more value o the works of Ma, tha they do upo those which have bee fashioed by the ivie Had? May mothers who do ot correct, or perhaps, it would be more fair to say, do ot observe their childre whe they slay or torture God's creatures, would be horrified if they were accused of platig the seed of cruelty i their little oe's hearts. Ad yet do you thik, that girl or boy who ca watch a livig bird or aimal writhe i agoy uder its hads, will grow up with a heart that is over teder to the sorrows ad sufferigs of makid? " But," some mothers will " reply, what ca we do with our childre whe they are i the coutry. We caot always be aggig at them, ad they must amuse themselves "? Yes ; of course they must, ad othig is more morally deterioratig to ayoe tha costat aggig or bullyig. People, whether small or grow up, will ot be drive, but they ca easily be led, ad childre may be taught Humaeess i two ways. The first is by that quality which lies deep buried i the huma heart the love of power. This is at the bottom of may of the cruelties that so may childre thoughtlessly iflict upo aimals. It arises from the feehg "I am : stroger tha you," ad like the utraied savage, the child at oce proceeds to demostrate the fact by brutality. But oce make the child realize that it is ideed more powerful tha may aimals, but that its stregth, like that of the heroes of the fairy-tales of old, must be used i order to protect the weak agaist the strog, the, whe this fact has bee well uderstood, ot may childre would care to abuse, or rather make a improper use, of this stregth of theirs. Let us, however, ever forget, that more powerful tha ay words, is the force of example. Ad useless to tell our childre to be kid it is utterly ad merciful towards aimals, uless they see that we ourselves are the same. Childre's eyes are for ever watchig the actios of the " grow ups " ad they will ot be mightily impressed by ay moral teachig o humaity, if they see that we ourselves wear bird's wigs o our hats, ad hut aimals to death for our amusemet. But there is yet a more potet way of makig our childre humae, ad that is by playig upo the child's passioate love for the woderful. That is the secret of the glamour which fairy-tales exercise over the child-mid. Nothig is too great, othig too difficult for a fairy to do. But must we go to a ukow ad imagiary lad i order to brig Woderlad before our childre? Surely ot.

HOGKINSON 'here is reallj' o subject so importat at the preset day as those strage psychic powers latet witlii ma ad ow begiig to be recogized i their mysterious force. Let us cosider them i relatio to the health of the body. This is oly oe ad possibly the least woderful of their maifestatios, but it is that which is most practically ad quickly apparet ad is therefore useful as a demostratio for those who kowlittle of the marvels of psychic sciece. It may be assumed sice we have travelled far beyod the stage of Huxleya Materialism that behid the visible Uiverse lies the Thought that creates it or rather, did ot create it as a magicia might, with the stroke of a wad, but ispired it with a idwellig thought which caused its ow gradual ufoldig or evolutio. Readers of Charles Kigsley's beautiful "Water Babies" may remember that whe the small hero fids the goddess who makes all the lovely lives of air ad ocea, he expects to fid her cuttig, sippig ad cotrivig busily makig the various creatures who stream outward from her workshop. Istead he fids her absorbed i superal calm ad cotemplatio, her chi propped o her had, gazig dow ito the ocea depths. "But do't you make thigs?" he asks. " No," she " aswers, I make them make themselves." That really is the whole thig i oe phrase. The creative thought behid the Uiverse ispires everythig it creates with a portio of its ow creative itelligece, so that it may i tur make itself ito ever ewh* developig forms, ad also create fresh thought-forms i all that come withi its creative kow sphere. Therefore we may each ad of the Creator o the seveth all the joy day, whe he saw that his work was good, for we each ad all are the microcosm that reflects powers of the macrocosm i its small beig the i whose beig worlds may be but cells small as the leucocytes i our ow bodies. Now let us see how this works out i relatio to health. This creative itelligece withi us moulds the body. It would do it beautifully superbly if it had ot to work agaist the ofte mistake impulses of the itellectual itelligece. We see it at its work, comparatively utrammelled, i the life histories of the aimal world. Oe part of its maifestatio we call istict. I the aimal world, roughly it speakig, moulds the body i coformity with the ideal acestral type. I a herd of deer it will be foud that the lissomeess of lie, swiftess, grace, which are the creative thought i relatio to deer are, as a whole, preseted i every deer of the herd. They are true to type. The creative itelligece behid the deer-form ad workig i them all is uhidered i its work by the self-assertive reasoig faculty which ma has developed i his evolutioary ascet from lower forms. Take also the lower forms of life. Sir William Barrett, followig the beautiful experimets of Professor Poulto, f.r.s., poits out that caterpillars ca more tha oce i their lifetime chage their colour to suit their surroudigs ad thus esure their safety. If oe half of a set of certai gree caterpillars have black twigs placed amog the leaves o which they feed, ad if the other half have some white paper spills placed amog the leaves, most of the former will become black ad of the latter white. This is attributed to a ervous stimulus excited by the particular colour actig upo the surface of the ski. But does this explai it? Not i the very least. We ca oly say it appears that the caterpillar has a iheret power of trasformig itself cosciously or ucosciously withi certai limits ito what it is best for its coditios that it should be. Sir William Barrett proceeds to say that he thiks biologists have too log closed their eyes to the ps\xhic factor i evolutio. I thik there ca be little doubt that such a factor exists ad is ofte domiat. There is a collective or racial spirit maifest through the idividual which determies the upward or dowward tred of a species ad either adapts them to their eviromet or destroys them. If all this be true it follows that we are each of us idividually ad racially creators. What we thik, ad what we are, creates fresh thought forms i all withi the radiatio of our ifluece. This is the Logos the Reaso, Thought, Word (for it may be traslated by ay of these ames, which ideed are fudametally the same) that was i the Begiig ad from which all Life sprigs. All day log the silet or vocal force streams away from us ito fresh thought. All day log we trasform ourselves ad others temporarily or permaetly ito ever-chagig shapes. We caot choose but create, but we do it idly, igoratly, ofte recklessly. Should we ot the be coscious ad logical creators? I coted that we should create cosciously, itelligetly, ad to a certai stadard. That stadard should be what Plato defies as beauty i the iward ad outward ma, ad if this beauty is visualised, first for ourselves, the (with stregtheig power) for others, we shall see the work of our mids ad kow that it is very good. The practical steps to such coscious creatio are threefold. First cocetratio, secod relaxatio, third self-projectio. These ca oly be gaied by practice, the first essetials beig perfect equipoise of erves, quiet, ad clear certaity as to the object i view. With these i our possessio I believe it is difficult to set limits to ay right purpose (by " right " meaig what teds to the advacemet of 'Oce Lov«is thiae, all other gifts shall be added uto thee.''

31 Widows -* The Herald of the Golde age. ^ 79 ourselves or others) that it is desired to accomplish. Those who are abstaiers from the more violet ad coarse forms of food foods which ivolve the takig of life -will uderstad me whe I say I believe that the more atural, simple ad beautiful ways of supportig our aimal life have a powerful effect i clarifyig ad stregtheig these psychic powers which are so deeply allied to Nature. This may parti)* be because the simpler foods give equipoise to the erves ad therefore calm the surface storms of the temperamet, affordig more possibility of re-collectio, ad placig the mid uder a stroger cotrol. It may also be that these foods of blood ad pai ad cruelty have some dullig effect upo the brai-cells, actig probably through a vitiated circulatio. But be the reaso what it may, experiece teaches us that it is the saits ad thikers of all races ad religios who appear most readily to develop these gifts ad to perform the so-called miracles of psychic ituitio. Such persos are almost ivariably those of extremely abstemious life, who are impatiet of luxurj', ad followers of the true asceticism which gladdes itself by discardig may thigs that uder fie soudig ames are i their essece burdesome. Therefore as the simplest way to the first developmet of these powers, I should say discard these brutal foods which cloud the iward visio, ad i all thigs be moderate. Secodly, set aside a certai part of the day, ever to be missed, for self-recollectio. Adopt a attitude which best eables you to forget the existece of the body, ad the i perfect quiet, cocetrate o the thought No of Power. doubt there will be difficulties at first. We thik after such a ramblig fashio- if ideed it ca be called thought, that there is effort i the act of cocetratio. We wat thigs so feebly. To attai, it is ecessary to wat them with passio. But it must be remembered that the highest wisdom that was ever made flesh ad dwelt amog us said, "Ask, ad ye shall have," ad doubted ot of the aswer. It is at least worth makig the experimet. Ad, for the reasos already give, the health of the body is a very simple, practical oe with which to begi. Thik oly the thoughts of health. Never let the mid fix for oe momet o the thought of disease i relatio to yourself or to others. Visualise to yourself your ow body strog, healthy, beautiful, ad realize that it ca be so, must be so, if the belief is strog eough to take o the creative impulse. Such thoughts pass i ad out of prayer : They throw the mid ito the right receptive attitude, ad mould every fibre of mid ad body slowly i coformity with themselves. No doubt i our poor humaity faith ad cocetratio must sometimes flag, but there will be momets, ad more tha momets, of harmoy with that which moulds the worlds, ad i those momets it will become clear that there are plaes of livig where disease is a grotesque ad where perfectio impossibility, clasps us roud. I write perforce vaguely of these thigs, for i truth we have ot yet iveted the alphabet for them. Perhaps whe we uderstad them i their fuless we shall eed o alphabet at all, ad there will be some trascedet power of commuicatio as yet udreamed of. This may very well be.

32 ' 8o -* THE HERAL OF THE GOLEN AGE. -* Siiple iet i all Climates. CAPTAIN WALTER CAREY, RN. By I wish to record some of the practical results of carryig out simple diet ideas uder differet coditios of climate, as observed by m3-self durig my life i the Navy. By simple diet I mea food that is obtaied without killig or cruelty, ad which cosists chiefly of fruits ad cereals. To cosider this matter oe must have some stadard of physical fitess for purposes of compariso betwee those who live o simple food ad the ordiary flesheatig Eglish people. The most satisfactory stadard would be to take the first 300 or 400 people you meet i the street ad drop them dow i various places ad climates with their flesh-foods, ad compare them with the simple dietig atives. That, of course, is impossible, therefore I propose taki;:; as a stadard the highest type of physical fitess to be foud i the British Isles, viz., that of the crew of a British ma-of-war. There are several reasos why this should be so. (i). The crew are all picked specimes. They joi as boys. The examiatios for etry to the Navy are very stiff, both for educatioal test, for height, chest measuremet, ad geeral fitess, so oly those who thik they are quite fit preset themselves, ad out of these cadidates less tha 50 per cet, are accepted. (z). Those etered, pass ito a healthy, regulated life, with lots of exercise, which is so importat for flesh-eaters. Their educatio ad traiig cotiues, for i our ships the sailors are always learig guery, torpedo work, steam ad practical kowledge of all sorts, ad they have disciplie (people who have the misfortue to be brought up o shore do ot get this last advatage). (3). The crew are also all youg me, very few servig as far as the age of If ayoe gets uwell there are the ship's 40. (4). surgeos to look after him, ad if the case is serious, he is removed to oe of our Naval Hospitals, which are foud o all statios, ad the ma's place i the ship is filled up from the earest depot. So we get a very high stadard of health, ad it I ca shew that it does ot i cotrastig if come up to that attaied by simple dieted people it will stregthe the case for Food- Reform. We have the our crew uder very good coditios lor the comparisos we require, they are all flesheaters, ad wherever the ship goes, ucommoly good arragemets are made by the authorities to keep them supplied with the food to which they are accustomed, just as though they were i Eglad. As a boy I was brought up to believe may thigs which I have sice foud to be utrue or merely superstitios. Oe of these statemets was that flesh-eatig was txessary, ad that a strog Eglishma was equal to three foreigers, due, of course, to the " roast beef of Old Eglad," whereas foreigers lived o foods givig less stregth ad were aturally weak. This statemet ad explaatio seemed all right as log as oe remaied i Eglad. So it was rather a shock to come across e.xactly opposite facts o oe of my first voyages. The Mediterraea Fleet had moved close to Costatiople the ship I was i, the Agicourf, was ; oe of the early heavily masted iroclads, whose masts ad sails were used partly as a auxiliary' to steam, but chiefly o accout of the excellet traiig they provided for the muscles of the ship's compay, by the cotiual heavy work due to weather coditios, supplemeted with edless drill, turig the ship ito a sort of glorified gymasium, which most certaily kept the crew of about 950 up to the highest poit of stregth ad activity. Oe was therefore very much surprised, o ladig, to see idividual Turkish porters carryig eormous ad heavy loads that three of our me would have foud difficulty i liftig. These porters wear o their backs a sort of leather saddle, which with their shoulders form a small platform ; to pick up a load the porter stoops ad backs up the middle of the agaist package, which is the tilted forward, balaced, ad the porter rises ad walks off. They are simple-diet feeders ; their food, bread, cheese, figs, dates, melos, grapes, ad other fruits that are abudat, ad they drik water. The Costatiople boatme are the same type of exceptioally strog me. It happeed that the Turkish Army was ecamped roud Costatiople, surrouded by the Russias, the time beig the close of the Russo- Turkish War, ad the treaty of Sa Stephao : so oe saw a good deal of the Turks, ad the followig is what two Lodo papers said of these Turkish soldiers : The Stadard of 1877 says : " As a member of a warlike race the Turk is without equal i Europe i health ad hardiess. He ca live ad fight where soldiers of ay other atioality would starve. His excellet physique, his simple habits, his abstieiice from itoxicatig liquors, his ormal vegetaria diet, eable him to support the greatest hardships, ad to subsist o the scatiest ad simplest foods." The aily News of 1S77 says : " Low stature is the exceptio i the Ottoma Army. These me of herculea form are edowed with fabulous sobriety : they drik o itoxicatig driks, ad seldom touch meat." Aother very strog poit about these soldiers was their good temper. If you could have see the wav they were bullied by some of their officers whe at drill, as I did for 8 moths at Gallipoli, you would uderstad what I mea. But "Good Temper" is oe the characteristics of simple-hfe people ad quite atural wh^i vou thik about because it, your flesheater, the '-roast beef of Old Eglad" ma, very ofte suffers from dyspepsia, especially i hot Idleess is hard work for those ot used to it, ad dull work for those who are.'

33 -^ The Herald of the golde age. -^ 8i weather, ad idigestio causes bad temper. Simplediet people escape this trouble, ad are therefore very much pleasater to deal with. I spet ie years i differet ships, o ad off, i the Mediterraea, ad wherever oe wet oe saw me of various atioalities livig o bread, cheese, dates, figs, grapes, orages, melos, cereals, ad vegetables, i fact o whatever happeed to grow as fit ad best i their coutry, ad just physically i some cases very much strojjer tha our hardy sailors. Before leavig the Mediterraea I wish to say a few words about Malta Fever. I the battleship Colligwood the crew umbered about 500, ad for some moths we had over 300 officers ad me ill with Malta fever, ad the ship as a fightig machie completely disabled, as the sick could either be removed or replaced. Now my poit is this : Malta fever is either ifectious or cotagious, therefore if i a ship 300 out of 500 get oe it, ought occasioally to fid i a similar way tows ad villages with the majority of the ihabitats dow with fever. But you do ot fid this : the simple-life people of Malta get little fever, whereas we flesheaters caught it wholesale. At oe time oe half of the battleships of the Mediterraea fleet were disabled from this cause. Oe way out of the Mediterraea is through the Suez Caal ad Red Sea, ad i the great heat you will see simple-diet people doig hard work of differet kids whilst the flesh-eatig Eglish are recliig uder double awigs, flatteed out ad gaspig for breath. Idia is more a soldier's coutry tha a sailor's ad I have ever visited it, but I have met retired officers who, after may years' service i Idia, come home broke i health ad temper: yet the simplelife ative does ot break up i this way, or do Eglish officers ad others who whe i Idia live very abstemiously, avoidig flesh foods ad alcohol. It is aother case where beef ad alcoholic driks are the cause of physical ufitess ad bad temper. Xmas dier at Sigapore, flesh-foods, plumpuddig, etc., three miles from the equator, with the thermometer at about 100 is a ordeal I have several times passed through, ad eve i those days felt there was somethig all wrog about it. Ad o goig o shore oe was glad to hire a ative chair whose bearers beig simple-diet people did ot mid the heat. It is a istructive picture: the e.xhausted flesh-eater perspirig with the exertio of existig, lougig i the chair uder a awig, carried at a swigig pace by two stalwart atives who live o fruit ad cereals. From Sigapore to the far North of Siberia is the lad of the simple-life as far as food is cocered, for practically the whole cotiet of Asia is vegetaria, ad at first there seems somethig strage at every place you go to, util you realize the cause, which is that oe sees so few aimals, ad the oly those used for agriculture ad trasport. The reaso why there are few aimals ad why flesh is ot used for food, is, I thik, a religious oe. The great religios of the East teach that cruelty is ot oly wrog but foolish, sice owig to the workig of a spiritual law, ayoe who causes pai or sufferig will at some time i the future have retured to himself a exact equivalet of sufferig i some form or other. They also teach kidess ad beevolece to all beigs exactly the same teachig as is give i the New : Testamet. But i the East people have a way of brigig their religio ito everyday life. Aother thig which is very odd to our ideas about these vegetaria coutries, is that oe ever sees a druke perso ; which is accouted for by the fact that simple-life food causes a distaste for alcoholic driks. Or to put it the other way, fleshfood produces a cravig for drik. Hog Kog is aother place that Europeas fid very tryig, especially i the raiy seaso whe you get cotiuous rai for weeks, ad maj' officers ad me are ivalided home but the ative who lives o ; oce-milled rice seems uaffected. Up the Yagtse river I have see the whole crew weak, ufit ad ill, ad yet the atives both o board ad o shore were thrivig. Further North there is ot much to choose betwee the ative ad the ship's compay i the way of fitess, but if you go as far orth as Machuria the simple-life people there are far away the most powerful. It is agai a case like at Smyra ad Costatiople of oe foreiger beig equal to three strog Eglishme, ad that i a climate which we fid most healthy. The there are the Japaese, o flesh-eaters, hardy ad athletic. Everyoe will remember how they outmarched the other atios i the expeditio to relieve Peki, ad their record i the war with Russia shewed what a simple-diet atio ca do. Let me quote a military expert : " The Japaese ifatry soldier ca carry more ad march loger tha the soldier of ay other coutry. His miraculous power of coverig log distaces at a ruig pace (carryig a service kit of 6olbs.), was testified by every war correspodet i Machuria." Ad to my mid the most remarkable characteristic of this simple-life atio is their woderful cheerfuless ad good temper. I thik by ow you will agree with me that the idea that flesh-eatig is ecessary for stregth ad phj'sical fitess is all osese, as proved by the millios of people we have bee cosiderig. The coclusio is : if you wish for health, physical fitess, ad good temper all your life, ad most of us wat these thigs, the best way to obtai them is to give up flesh-eatig, ad live the simple life, itelligetly ad thoughtfully adjustig the food to the particular climate you are i. Here i Eglad where we get spells of most climates, the food questio requires special attetio; flesh-food, besides beig uworthy of civilized ad humae people, caot be adjusted to suit these variatios of temperature ad weather i the easy ad practical way possible with simple-life foods, to say othig of the dager of itroducig aimal disease ad waste products ito the system. So for every reaso it is better to live the simple life, varyig the diet accordig to the seaso, the weather, ad oe's occupatio. "May people make idols of themselves but would be aslumed to worsbip ay other."

34 82 -* The Herald of the Golde age. ^ By tbe Way. CM. T. writes to say he disapproves of such " " a fussiess as codematio of the use of " " pohshed rice. It is well ot to be fussy, but it is extremely foolish to close the eyes to the march of kowledge o ay poit. Health is a matter of Empire, ad though a occasioal rice puddig i Eglad may ot matter much it should be remembered that millios of our fellow subjects make rice their staple food. Besides, i ay case, it is always folly to eat a food robbed of its essetials. Oly the best is good eough. The polished or thrice-milled rice has bee robbed of its glute ad phosphates which build up muscle, brai ad erve, oly starch remais ^just as i the similar case of white bread. The strog Easter races live ad work o the whole rice, ot o the emasculated grai, ad the people of this coutry should buy the same if they wat their childre to avoid physical deterioratio. - ' i -> I hope that as may of my readers as were i Lodo atteded the Simple Life Exhibitio at the Caxto Hall from 26th to 29th March. The weather was delightful, ad it was a cetre of great iterest. May well-kow speakers gave addresses. I was really surprised, i makig my roud, to see how every year the food questio is simplified for us ad what excellet preparatios are put at our disposal. The Order of the Golde Age, had, of course, beautiful exhibits of cooked dishes ad complete diers, ad these were appreciated by the umerous visitors. I was much struck too with the ovel cookig appliaces at some of the stalls. They were clea, igeious ad cheap i the extreme, ad this is a much more importat departmet of domestic hygiee tha is commoiy remembered. The "Lessos to Bachelors" or the arts of cookig, medig, ad so forth, were a very good idea. I have ever bee able to see why it is a poit of hoour with the average ma to have oe side of his brai ucultivated, ad that, oe of the most practical sides ad the most ecessarj- to his ow comfort. There were may iterestig exhibits at the exhibitio ad I regret that space permits oly the otice of so few of these that I must pick out the oes I thik most importat for my readers. First there were may ew ad old ut butters ad margaries. If there is a persistet ad regretable mistake made by food reformers it is that of ot takig sufficiet fat i their dietaries. It is oe which I am always comig across, ad it stads i the way of much of the success that ought always to atted this chage of diet. The vegetable fats ad oils are ifiitely more digestible tha eve butter ad cream, ad should be freely take, especially by childre. Amog these Vytalle Oil, so log established ad well-kow, deserves metio, because its purity ca be trusted, which is more tha ca be said for that of may of the olive oils o the market. I may say the same of the Vytalle Oil Go's " Orage Flower " Hoey. This is excellet for childre. I my opiio the less sugar they are give the better. But good hoey is a atural food for a child ad a delicious sweeteer for other dishes. I may ext metio Welch's Ivalid Port. I should ot, of course, thik of recommedig aythig alcoholic, but this is sterilised grape-juice with all the good of the fruit i it ad each pit represets 5 lbs. of the best grapes. A additioal poit is that it cotais o sugar, water, or colourig matter, ad makes a pleasat summer drik either aloe or with water or mieral waters. This ca be had from r. ^^'elch, 61, Farrigdo Road, E.G. My readers always like to hear of the latest products of Pitma's Health Food Go.. Birmigham. I thik the Nut Meat Braw is about as practical as it ca be it is etirely vegetable i its compositio ad is put up i a attractive vegetable jelly. I oted also a good Letose Vegetaria Braw to be had from Ghapma's Health Food Stores, Eberle St., Liverpool. Both these productios are useful just ow for picics, etc. The Nut Margarie of the same firm is as good as it ca be ad it has the advatage of beig milk bleded, ad therefore really ourishig, at the low cost of iid. a lb. I might metio may other good thigs, but I have oly left myself space for the iformatio that my Special Biscuits, made of milk, ad for the recipe of which am I so frequetly asked, ca be had at Mr. Shear's Health Food Stores, Totteham Court Road, W. He maufactures them after my ow recipe, ad sice I have o rights i them ad caot be suspected of iterested motives, I will say that I believe o such ourishig biscuits ca be had aywhere else. They have received medical approval, ad should simplifj' the questio of sufficiet or additioal ourishmet for everyoe. Yet a postscript. Those of my readers who like the ucooked foods are strogly recommeded to visit the Simple Life Compay at 411, Oxford Street, W. The they will fid their particular cult made delightfully easy. There is the wellkow Laxative Bread (ucooked cereals ad fruit juice) the Protoid Salad Oil made of fruit oils, ad the Laxative Cereal Flakes a good breakfast food. All these, ad may more are worth a trial ad should be kow. ^"^^ "^^ "^^ Maloja writes to ask if it is ot true that skimmed milk has lost all its ourishmet ad is therefore worthless for childre. I am glad this questio has bee asked. No it is quite utrue. Skimmed milk is ourishig because it cotais the same amout of proteid as ordiary milk although the cream, which is ot ourishig, has bee removed. It is sold i the coutry at a pey a quart ad eve i tows at a very cheap rate, so it may be see that a valuable source of ourishmet is thus eglected. Of course I do ot say it is better for childre tha the whole milk, for the fat which the cream affords is very valuable for them, but where ecoomy is importat this fat ca be replaced i cheaper ways ad they 'A ma caot work hard all day, ad always come hor* to ht sweet, suy, ad etertaiig."

For persoal use I add to it a few other igrediets, but these are always mixed ad prepared at home, ad I go about the world marvellig at the multiplicity of the expesive preparatios put before the public uder such temptig forms ad high-soudig titles, ad questioig metally whether it is their result (combied with wildly wrog feedig) which is see i the very uattractive complexios that are the rule ad ot the exceptio. -^i "^i "^ G. M. Y. writes to beg me to speak of the dager of the commo house-fly. This ca be doe i a very short space. The house-fly caot exist without filth. The eggs are deposited i filth. The female fly lays 120 eggs ad i 12 hours these are 120 flies, each i a few days more to repeat the same process. Each fly ca carry o its legs such germs as cholera, typhoid, diphtheria, scarlet fever, ad deposit them where it alights. Each fly is therefore a possible ad probable source of disease, ad it is very likely that as kowledge icreases we shall fid may more obscure diseases traceable to the presece of these pests. Ugly therefore as they are, some appliaces for catchig them are ecessary i every room where they make their appearace. If the room is badly ifested, bur pyrethrum powder. This them ad they ca the be destoyed. stupefies But at the root of the whole matter lies clealiess, for i houses which are kept clea ad where the garbage is burt or efficietly removed they do ot readily appear. Uless of course there be careless eighbours, stables, private slaughter or the houses, which are the disgrace ad dager of large tows at had. The, of course, the iocet suffer for the careless guilty. It may be useful to metio a attractive Food Reform Summer School, to be held this year, at St. Michael's Hall, Lasdowe Road, Hove. It is orgaised by Mr. ad Mrs. Massigham, proprietors of the well-kow Food Reform Boardig Establishmet, 17, Norfolk Terrace, Brighto, from whom full particulars ca be obtaied. It is to be of course a Holiday House, ad the beautiful grouds, five teis courts, ad the earess of the sea all led themselves to this ideal, but lectures ad discussios will also have their part, ad there will be cocerts ad other etertaimets as well. I lear that Mr. Macbeth Bai will be oe of the lecturers. It is quite uecessary to speak of the attractios of the delightful eighbourhood of Brighto, ad all I eed add is that the house is a very fie oe, ad that the prices are extremely moderate. Amog other sample foods ad beverages set me for trial is oe called Saum Toic Tea (The Saum Istitute, 59, Edgware Road, Lodo). It is made of medicial Herbs, the chief of which is milfoil, a old fashioed favourite of the herbalists, which is said to be a good blood-purifier, ad to remove waste matters from the system i a harmless way. Although somewhat bitter, it is worthy of a trial I thik, ad some of my readers would perhaps like to sed to the above address for a explaatory circular. ""^^ ^"^^ -"^i L. M. asks what I thik of prologed athletic exercises as a strai o the heart. This is a very medical questio ad oe which I should ot aswer o my ow resposibility. But I fid that medical opiio cosiders ay udue strai o the heart very dagerous both at the time ad afterwards. I fid too it is cosidered that much depeds o the method of traiig, ad oe doctor whom I have asked says that eve this is ot so importat from the poit of view of risk, as the whole method of life. He says that those who abjure the poisoous foods ad driks have much greater stayig power ad much greater recuperative power where strai is cocered. He says the Greek athletes were ot permitted meat or did they use it i daily life. They lived ad traied o cheese, boiled grais ad fruit, their drik was water. Now if oe is told that greater feats have bee achieved i the preset day tha are recorded of atiquity the aswer is that it is ot a questio of feats but of what the result was to geeral health, ad we do ot fid that the Greek athletes failed i health or logevity. Athleticism was cosidered a excellet preparatio for the duties of the citize ad father. But the wise physicia of the preset day is apt to discourage a specialised athleticism, I fid, except amogst those who live i the way I have idicated, ad eve the extreme cautio is advocated with tests which will determie the actual powers of the subject. Elargemet of the heart is more easily icurred tha lost. The huma body is ot costructed for these heavy strais, ad frequetly collapses uder them. It is possible to live far more cheaply upo fruit ad uts, whe they are i seaso, tha upo ay other foods quite apart from the questio of Health. pruits should ot be cooked, but eate raw, ad upo a empty stomach or combied with uts. Cookig rums may of their most valuable properties. Fruits exert a very cleasig ad purifyig effect upo the system. Their medicial value should ot be omitted from cosideratio. Were a fruitaria diet followed, humaity would escape ie-teths of the ills from which it ow suffers. This questio of the prevetio of disease by diet is a very importat oe. "iet is a mitter to be studied by all who are depressed ad worried.
