blessed reward can one receive than the knowledge that one has done good in the world? Ultimately they rise above the world's opposition and persecution. Even Jesus rose above the crucifixion.

As we rise in intelligence we learn that there is no such thing as martyrdom, that the things which one is called upon to lay aside in order to do helpful work constitute no sacrifice and it is only a species of vanity to call one's self or another a martyr. The proper appellation for one who dares to do what is right is victor. LOTTA P. CHENEY.

ENJOY THE LIFE always when it arrives. It is a growing magazine, surely. Externally more artistic and mentally reaching higher thought and giving it to your readers, more plainly to catch the consciousness. I always get a helping lesson from its pages. I have taken it from its first issue (more than twelve years ago) and its evolution of growth is wonderful indeed. May the good work go onward and upward continually.

"Now Mr. Barton, all I have said is not taffy, but the truth as I see and feel it. I want to be one to congratulate you and Mrs. Barton on your success and work as teachers of truth.

"I would like to be one of your pupils-who knows but I may be some day?"

Suggestion, (Chicago) has been sold to Henry Clay Rogers of Detroit, Mich. The publication will be continued under the new title, The Stellar Ray. Some space will be devoted to Stellar Science, Planetary Influences and Occultism, from a rational standpoint. First issue under new name, Dec. 1, 1906. Office, Hodges Building, Detroit, Mich.

N INCIDENT occurred at the Old Soldier's Home at Leavenworth this summer that pleased me immensely. In walking about the beautiful grounds-our guide told us the many tame squirrels we saw on the grass and in our path, were pets, and friendly. Numbers of the little creatures were running about without exhibiting the least bit of fear. One graceful little fellow walked before us for awhile, then suddenly saw an old soldier going along on the other side of the walk, when he crossed the road, went up to the soldier (who put out one foot and then held his trouser's pocket open) ran up his trousers to the pocket and poked in his head to see if there were any pop-corn or nuts for him.

"That's splendid!" I remarked. "I like that!" and I admired the old soldiers for this display of human kindness. The good over-rules the bad when the two are brought into contact. Let us bring the good in.

ROM a lady in Iowa who had two weeks' treatment for kidney and liver trouble and nervous prostration:

"Dear Mr. Barton:

"I thank you with all my heart for being so kind as to send me THE LIFE. The reading of THE LIFE is to the soul what food is to the body. It is health and strength. It leads to the only true way of living.

"My health is so much better and I feel much stronger. Many, many thanks."

ORDS like the following from a lady in England, a long time subscriber, always cheer us on in our work:

"THE LIFE always comes like an old and dearly loved friend to encourage one and give a lift in time of need. I would not be without it.

"Go on in your great work, dear Mr. and Mrs. Barton. You have my best wishes, and I am sure all of your subscribers unite with me.

Chought Power for Schools.

SA MAN thinketh in his heart so is he." If a man think murder in his heart, he is a murderer, even if he never kills his man literally; if he dwell upon the thought it grows stronger; in time the opportunity may arrive and ere he realizes he has slain his brother.

We call this "temporary insanity" yet it is but “the effects of the cause" of murderous thinking. Public opinion is a tremendous power. In the South a negro is caught after a sin-public opinion is unanimous in its desireto immediately destroy bis life.

No law can hold against public opinion. The public must be taught to think right, then it will do right. Thought is a wonderful power in healing, as thousands can testify.

We can overcome an evil thought by sending a strong, loving thought immediately.

Non-Sectarian Thought Power, its control and culture should be taught in every school, public and private. Who will volunteer to be the pioneers?

BELLE GOODWIN FITCH.
