the communion meeting cannot be expounded in ordinary language however rich in selection. During the service, preceding Communion, Father David proclaimed the Benediction of a hearty welcome the vibrations whereof touched all hearts to a shower of tearful eyes. The hot summer wave ordinarily felt in an over crowded hall, dispersed in the presence of an amalgamation process, witnessed by the kindred souls and royal hearts, leaving imprints of joy and happiness in their wake.

Congregational songs, concerted recitations, prayers and breath and participation of pure, unadulterated food, added greatly to manifestation of the Mazdaznan Spirit, reviving the tie of royal hearts blessed by the pure blood of untarnished aristocracy.

A hot afternoon spent in communion with the Woman's League offered practical hints to practical workers so that side-tracking and one-sidedness upon selected themes would no longer manifest. To the notice of all were brot the methods of elementary and academic education of youth, the subjects of the Aryana school of life, the promotion of the Aryana community, creation of fine lands,

owned by the community, scientific cultivation and the scientific use of products. The women's day, presided over by Mother Frieda, closed with counsel and advice to women, to which Father David added hints appertaining to the culture of children.

Counsel Sommer then read his annual budget, showing the financial wealth of the community, which proved encouraging, altho larger figures added by voluntary contributions would greatly increase the operations of the enterprise.

The first day closed with a frugal meal and a violin concert conducted by Artist Blume.

The following days were spent largely in initiation into the various degrees, calling into use the various ceremonies appropriate to such events and making it possible to become acquainted with the true object of the great incomparable Mazdaznan Revelation unto the whole world with its great message of final emancipation of all human kind. These initiations reveal the universality of Mazdaznan and its relation to religion and medicine, or the Union with God and Harmony of organic operations-in short, soul

and body. Here we learn of the pioneers and their untiring efforts and sacrifice they bring for the benefit of their kindred souls. We familiarize ourselves with the operations of cycles, dispensations, and eras. We gain knowledge of chemistry and alchemy; soul communion, telepathy and free energy not working its way by spiritual audions to the hearts alone with the wires of the Infinite and quickened into higher consciousness.

We learn of Creation and Evolution, with its chain of associations laid bare, while the treasures of the storehouse are pointed to and their possession assured thru practices of the one commandment: "That ye have love for one another." Yea, "May Mazda be rejoiced and his associates continue to be victorious." -G. RUEMELIN.

P. S.-Dear Master, please do come and abide with us for we all long to see thy countenance. Altho still suckling babes we nevertheless do desire to show thee what wonders Father David wrought. We can do no more than pray for thy coming.

A SOURCE OF COMFORT

To our dear ones bound for the same great cause and revelation-Salutation and Greeting: Have not been heard from for some time and did not intend to write anything now, but the Spirit prompts me to jot down a few lines for the benefit of one and all. My observations lead me to confirm the general idea that after all people do not change, altho their ideas do. Sometimes such ideas show improvement-most of the time the index finger points the other way. But then they cannot help it for as long as prenatal influence and ancestral ties are not entirely eradicated adverse conditions or environments call out their correspondences, however, in hiding. In addition to my ten hours of daily routine I watch every opportunity to improve upon the storehouse of Knowledge and see in all human weaknesses possibilities of power for good or otherwise. The slogan: "He takes my goat," is not always applicable, especially when your avowed friends attempt to make you the goat, and here again strength of character reminds us

to keep still. To blame one's mistakes, shortcomings and failures on others reveals mental limitations on the part of the faultfinder. And we are prompted to say, "Not by their words ye shall know them." It seems that as the Master says, "People are brave only when gain is on their side; losses make them ugly, sullen, mean, even criminal." Just so.

Mental fermentation is a terrible state for it creates cunningness, envy, jealousy, hypocracy. To turn upon a person may seem "bully," and to turn against another may be "sheepishness," still such are phases that seem to cloud the brains and hearts of many a good soul struggling between light and darkness. Personally, I seek nothing but the power to stand alone and guidance by wisdom assuring the most glorious state of "mind my own." The ability of reading human minds and to understand human hearts is a greater blessing than all the terrestial possessions which change and decay, and to know that the wisdom of the Infinite continues to further His everlasting design is indeed a source of comfort.

With love to one and all.-UNCLE JOHN.
