understanding. We agree on principles but the application and demonstration remains under the direction of the mental index. What is true of social measure will also remain true of religious scruples, altho the latter will have to change to the same extent as do political reasons.

Some investigators hold that our slow growth of civilization and progress on educational lines is wholly natural, while others. think that our growth, as a white race at least, might have been more rapid.

Some think that the whole world, as it appears is providential, and could not possibly progress any faster than is being demonstrated. Still, there are those who feel that progress has been hampered by a power wholly outside the province of Divine designs. The latter view has much in its favor because creation with all its treasures has been entrusted unto man for "man to take up the work where the Spirit left it to our care." But tho "the mistakes of life have been many" it will profit us nothing "to cry over spilt milk;" the white man must arise in all his power and forget the weakness of the past.

The injury done is after all merely phenomenal and of short duration. We have

eternity before us-in fact, we live in eternity.

Tribal characteristics will continue to claim their own, but we can collectively promote, that which is nearest to every human heart-Peace, the state in which we prosper, and assists to reveal the treasures of possibilities during the span of life.

To first bring all the corresponding tribes under the protecting wing of relationship must be the principal aim of all concerned. The union of the three great bodies of man will readily follow, so that the threeSaxons, Latins and Slavs-under the amalgamation of one executive tribunal, may exercise the trust of government for the good of the individual.

COUSIN NELLIE'S JOTTINGS

Ideas of freedom differ as much as ideas regarding high cost of living.

To change one's mind is a woman's privilege, yet men are not at all different.

Changing furniture around often effects a change in surroundings.

The longing heart desires to fulfill its trust.

Everyday is a nice day and the weather is fine, if we are in our best physically and mentally.

A touch of radium will set the body aglow with vril, while the divine spark within will help convert Galama as we attract it to us on the breath.

With a new lease upon life, arresting "chemical reaction," attending to the urgent needs of nature, the body grows lighter and the mind stronger.

A sharp line of likes and dislikes creates sensitiveness, often exposing our senseless

ness.

If the spirit is to work thru the body then the latter ought to be in good trim to receive and execute orders.

The mountain air is as refreshing in the distance as it is in the canyon, especially where we find it impossible to leave our place of civilized incarceration.

Only too often great souls are caught in the network of conditions and because of the desire to do greater things then assigned to them, they neglect the things expected of them. "Oh, love, thou knowest of no fear" is for such.

When all in, and void of ambition, I find it best to relax and attend to the body in general, especially the more sensitive factors. To control the inbreathing, to curb the selection of food, to massage the body are means that go a long ways toward recuperation, if attended to daily.

To force ourself to do things contrary to our promptings is not within the province of every temperament.

Tho a town be under martial rule we need not be made to serve the unjust.

Hold to the reality of the Kingdom of God now on earth and mob violence must dispell.

Just to do my part with joy and gladness is the longing of a true heart.

No one can deny us the divine estate for "what my father has given me no power can take it from me."

It matters not which way the pendulum swings as each movement denotes advance of time.

Time and eternity alone determine what is in accordance to infinite designs.

TELESCOPIC VIEWS

Advices from New York have it that five hundred negroes meeting daily in long sessions are devising an international "bill of rights" for the black race and arranging a program for its realization.

The negroes are delegates to the first international convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They come from almost every country where negroes have colonized and one hears the accent of the Caribean "cockney" mingling with the soft drawl of the old South.

Among the leaders are an admiral of the Haitian navy, a prince from Abyssinia, and the mayor of Monrovia, Liberia.

The association claims a membership of 1,000,000 and has as its eventual goal solidarity among the 400,000,000 negroes of the world. The program calls for the establishment of the supremacy of the black race thruout Africa. Regardless of governments established there by European nations, the Belgians, English, and the others would be invited to get out. If they didn't they would be forced out.

Every land is a land of liberty to the native or the naturalized.
