his fellow men, return to earth a miserable beggar, has he retrogressed or has he progressed? It is not the form of manifestation that determines the consciousness of the intelligence but the good it promotes. Many a beast rules a nation by virtue of the reflective characteristics, collectively focalized by those who make him their choice; such lies within the province of man's free agency, but when the obiect of misdirected choice has reached the brim of misapplied deeds to overflowing. such executive entity incarnates by virtue of higher laws in realms of relative correspondences to prove its worth, as like in matter must beget like in substance, and those who upheld such an ignoble soul in its diabolical measures, either by direct approval or silence, follow the fallen entity according to their relation to the deeds done.-Ainyahita, Pearl Nineteen, Chapter Two.

God may have power to direct unchained elements unto the annihilation of the wicked, but He cannot eradicate the evil the latter have created, as such remains the patent right of those who have created it.

Thus as the scripture has it: "Through man sin has come into the world; by man it must be removed."

Were God to remove the evil created by man he would prove an autocrat, annulling the right of free choice.

Sickness, sin and sorrow are man's production and have no part or portion within the domains of Infinite Intelligence.

Once man to man has been recognized the ideas of "my right" and "might" shall no longer infest society.

If we have confidence in one another then there is no need of "confiding."

Even a thought wave not in harmony with designs is eventually lost without having accomplished what it was intended for.

All the objects of nature remind us of action.

The less one reads, all the more one may know about this world, and what is yet to

come.

As long as man shall have revenge in his heart, so long the time of emancipation will be deferred.

The Coming of the Lord depends upon humankind coming to time.

The reason many problems appear perplexingly to us is because we have not yet fully realized that "God moves in most mysterious ways His wonders to perform."

The less sensitive we become about conditions and environments about us all the sooner we grow more useful in the pursuits of life.

Some grow timid through adversities while many more grow strong.

Blind faith is called belief, and all beliefs run on crutches that only a Savior-mind may

remove.

Man may aspire and plan to reach the top -but God can change it all when Providence wills it not.

Hints

Artichokes for the depleted. One-half of an artichoke daily for the next three to five weeks will do more than all the nerve tonics sold over the counter. An artichoke needs to be parboiled for five to ten minutes and thereafter steamed or baked in oven, adding enough oil to prevent scorching.

Grapefruit are better at this time of the year than at any other, owing to a higher percentage of nitrates and quinine nature imparts to citrus fruits. Grapefruit is not only a good eliminator but a tonic. Have half a grapefruit every morning. Do not use sugar but for quick action add sweet cream. Though the cream may curdle some have no scruples; eat your grapefruit with thankfulness in your heart.

With the advance of the season do not forget that all fresh greens, be they of the weed family or grown in garden, are eliminators to a great extent.

Although batter foods are seasonable, nevertheless, all who suffer from membraneous troubles, as well as costiveness, will fare better to cut out from their menu all breadstuffs.

Rice is easily digested if boiled very rapidly in plenty of water and, if possible, is perfectly done in twenty minutes. Be sure that rice is thoroughly chilled when done. Prepared in this way, rice will prove nutritious. With cream or milk it will fill every want and need.

The less physically engaged should use pulses as a side dish, while the manually active may use pulses as an entree.

Where gas forms make a change from vegetable to fruit salads and be sure to use raw white of eggs before meals and three to six grains of charcoal tablets after meals.

This is the season for herb teas, which should be used freely but alternately, as to variety.
