allows himself to be carried away by emotions unworthy of his name and the being he represents. The savage in all his ignorance follows the instincts of his nature, and from careful attention in the exercise of an act in this direction, learns to go about it with caution and great care. He has learned that where two parties engage in an act of this nature it is of vital importance to both to possess control and to follow each other's emotions with attention and concentration.

The ordinary person today unable to control himself must, step by step, learn this control if he ever expects to attain to the very highest life affords and desires to abstain from the path of injustice and imposition. We should get our bodily functions to such a point that we will be able to not only possess animal control, but rising even higher than the moral tendency affords, we shall reach the evenly balanced intellectual. Το get to that point we shall have to begin at the lowest phase and continue to improve on our upward path.

We are to learn and to understand that because of the three principal factors in the individual, animal, moral and intellectual,

the law of self-preservation attempts to adjust itself in the direction most conducive to the general condition of the individual. To the animal, nature brings out the animal propensities more strongly in effecting the process of preservation, while in the intellectual the same method would act detrimental to progress and well-being. Altho animal, a person is expected to control himself, but if allowed to go uncontrolled, revenge will come, and cares and troubles must follow. In the animal man the transgression of law does not show itself as readily as in the intellectually developed. Thus there is more suffering in the direction of unlawful cohabitation among the two latter named than among the first. We thus begin to learn that the greater our knowledge of things, the greater one's responsibility.

To understand our subject, we shall consider our animal nature, thereby getting gradually to our moral, and lastly to the intellectual, deducting such points from our study as will establish in our minds a standard of virtue that will require no amendment as we have our choice, either to continue in the rut or take steps toward final liberation.

THE TRUST

While the time has arrived when woman is to take her place and position which destiny has given her, she does not do so at the expense of another; she does not interfere in any way with the progress and development of her brother man.

The higher education of woman only prepared her to more fully and ably fulfill her part as the helpmate and companion of man. He has nothing to fear from the rapid strides of progress that are at last placing woman in her true and proper position, that of man's equal; not his underling nor his hireling, but a companion in whom he may safely confide and with whom he may exchange ideas and opinions of helpful consideration of mutual benefit and interest. is not the wish, nor is it in the province of any sensible woman, to endeavor to usurp the rights and privileges of man. The true womanly woman has but one object uppermost in her mind and heart, and that object is to promote the welfare of all those entrusted to her; whatever interferes between woman and her sacred charge can only bring

It

misfortune to both. Man has his place and position in life, and a most worthy one it is; he has grave and tremendous responsibilities laid upon him by the hand of Providence; no one else can accomplish the work entrusted to him.

What the world needs most of all are manly men and womanly women. Men and women that will trustingly look into the faces of one another; confidently call forth the beauty, strength and power of each; evoking the hidden forces of their magnetic and electric natures, thus blending them into sweet consummation of all that is noblest and best in life.

God has placed woman under the care and protection of man. The more perfectly he performs that sacred trust, the more will he attract unto himself the choicest blessings which an earthly existence can impart. Likewise, God placed man by woman's side, that she might foster, bless and care for the treasures of life in which they both have an equal share. Equality then must be established before the home can reflect the joy, love and beauty which are the natural emanations of a perfect union where harmony and con

geniality reign supreme, and where the home expresses the completeness of two perfected beings blending into oneness. Jesus answered the Pharisee thusly: "Have ye not read that He who made them male and female and said: for this cause shall a man leave Father and Mother and shall cleave unto his wife; and they twain shall be one flesh?"

WOMAN OF TODAY

The clock of the universe has long since struck the hour of midnight for weary, waiting women, and with the dying waves of its undulating reverberation have been heard those memorable words "It is finished."

What man failed to recognize; where woman feared to assume the responsibility, there the Spirit of the Times came forth and broke thru the fastnesses of the old walls of superstition; and with the fire of its zeal burned away the barriers of accumulated worthlessness and, with one sweep of its strong right arm; it thrust ajar the Gates of Conventionality and bade woman: "Arise! and with rejoicing enter in and possess the
