Its tone is intensely religious and devotional and the text adheres strictly to Bible teaching. It opposes the use of medicines under any condition and recommends only prayer to God for healing. The heading of chapter 2 gives the key-note to the work: "Obey and Escape Chastisement, and live Happy, as God Intended we Should." The author says, "By the help of the Lord if He is willing, I shall hope to write Glad Tidings No. 2." Bound in maroon cloth, gold lettered, 104 pp, price 50 cents. That suit in the U. S. court against Mrs. Post has been retried before a Jury in Jacksonville, Fla. The verdict was again guilty, and the penalty a fine of $500 and imprisonment in the county jail one month. I understand an appeal will again be taken to the Supreme Court. The newspapers say the trial continued twelve days. The Justices of the U. S. Supreme Court being quite favorable to the New Thought movement, we shall expect them to make a final disposition of this matter when it is again brought before them. The first time they reversed the verdict of the lower court on error and sent the case back for re-trial. Little Lessons In Elohim. USES OF WORDS, CONCLUDED. \HERE are two general ways in which the Word THE may be employed, although, in all cases, the affirmation of Truth would be sufficient if it were not for false appearances, were it not that inharmonious conditions come before the eyes and in hearing of the ears. The two ways are Affirmation and Negation or denial. When there is an appearance contrary to the truth as it is in Perfect Being, then our minds should be so trained (for in this phase of our existence, we need to train our minds) in truth that we will mentally say "No," or "Not so," and thus negate and dispel it. If for some reason the appearance persists, and would force itself upon our attention, then we must understand how to say "Leave me," or, "I now dismiss you," or "Get thee hence." And if, for some unaccountable reason this does not prevail, then add to "Get thee hence from me," or "Get thee behind me, for I must advance," the following: "For the Law is, you must worship the Lord of yourself as your God, (thy Lord thy God) and only its perfection shall you serve!" And when this much has been said in denial of any particular error, if rightly spoken, there will be a change in conditions; the false will disappear, and your thoughts themselves together with the fellings, will take on new strength and courage, for Angel Thoughts will then take place in your mind, and sweetly minister to you. You will plainly recognize a changed state of mind, and decidedly for the better. The denials are not to be used at all excepting when something out of universal harmony presents itself. And the mind, body and soul, all your energies should be so trained as to be in conscious touch with Life-principles, Truth principles, Love principles, and no others, in all the social and business affairs of your life. When you hear people are bad, are you ready to turn that instant to thinking how perfect they are made in expression? When you hear people are poor and needy, are you prepared to see their affluence instead, and their actual possession of a harmonious kingdom? When you hear of some one being sick are you able to throw off the meaning of the name they have given it, and think of his health as his natural condition until your thoughts outshine the false appearance and only his natural health is vissible? When you learn that someone has lost a friend, do you know in your heart that it cannot be true, and are your lifethoughts and words about him vital enough to lead you to thank God in so powerful a way for hearing your thought about his health, as to realize it, and for your conviction that it was only a nap he was taking and out of which he would certainly awaken? Then if you are thus, you are like the beautiful Nazarine, when they had sent word to him that Lazarus was dead; turning to his disciples he said, “Our friend Lazarus sleepeth: but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep." They answered, "Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well." Then Jesus adopted the men-made term for it and said Lazarus was dead. The disciples seemed not advanced enough in Jesus' teaching to see the impossibility of a tragical ending; they were not able to think of him as only asleep, and hence their thoughts, in that particular, were neither true to truth, nor beneficial. There was no false modesty about the free use of words of truth on that occasion, "I am the Resurrection, and The Life; he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall be live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?" I wonder if Martha to whom he was talking, understood these wonderful words? Yet he only inquired as to her belief! on that occasion. Repeat this sublime saying, the author of it was your Example, slowly and earnestly go through with it, and see how close it brings you to your divine nature! The daily practice of the affirmations daily helps one to grow into the true mental habit of thinking only right thoughts. And truth only means Nature stript of all subterfuge and abnormity in all her departments. This daily recognition of the truth in all life, as it is universally in being, in power and righteousness, the steady application of the truth in all living, will establish true ideals and will prove the means of spiritual unfoldment. Then will delusions no longer deceive you, and the use of the denials will grow less and less needed. Live according to the principles mentioned in the lesson, and find your freedom and happiness. Thus may you be surrounded by an atmosphere of protection to you, that will also prove a blessing to all that come within its radius. It will brighten your prospects, awaken your power, and make the world for you more like the Eden it was intended. And there will be no more room for despondency, for you will be filled with optimism, and you will be traveling along in the true direction' in The Life intended for every human soul. C. J. B. There are some people who are so stupendously selfish that they take it for the most exalted altruism and self sacrifice; and they are usually such adepts in deception and hypocricy that only home folks know it. |
