There is no vicarious atonement in Nature, She does not -bandy and has no favorites, you get what you pay for, She keeps no -books but has an automatic adjustment which regulates accounts as you -go along and marks your soul for the future as well. - -This book advocates churches and pastors or teachers who are God's -Noblemen and it advocates THEOCRATIC DEMOCRACY for if you love God -and your neighbor you are the CORRECT LAW. - -But you can never overrule the law that your temper, rage, cruelty -and vindictiveness will be uncontrollable as long as you use tobacco, -alcohol and meats, and WAR WILL NOT BE ANNIHILATED UNTIL YOU REFORM -YOUR DIET AND HABITS. "Abstinence begets spirituality--dissipation -crime", and yourself, your wife, children, associates, animals and -humanity suffer--you have misapprehensions, moroseness and misery. - -War is the result of selfishness, greed, graft, ignorance and -animalism and it advocates education of the individual to the end that -he shall combine and amalgamate his power with his fellow citizen, -when he can control WAR and government. - -This book shows that diffusion of light and the freezing of water into -ice is from one white spark radiating "high frequency" straight cold -rays against its warm neighboring molecule and causing it to become a -white spark itself, it gives "contagion," it shows that the ether or -spirit gives "contagious transmission of ideas." - -It explains MONISM as being correct and that there is but one God. - -It explains that all of the material of a combustive nature Naturally -is censored by going to the intestines, and here it is emulsified and -coated with an incombustive coat of albumen, if an oil and if starch -is turned into sugar which in turn is changed to an oily substance in -the liver later and this is subsequently emulsified for eligibility -to the blood, but alcohol, essential oils and the organic bases sneak -into the blood surreptitiously, therefore "medicine" is not food, -there may be times when a stimulant is a pathological aid and the -germs often make a stimulant in the body to help over a bad condition, -as when the system contains useless material which is a load on the -organs or when minerals or "humors" embalm the system, but only a -limited amount is a medicine, any more is a poison, these cases are -anomalies and under proper conditions are transgressions of Nature. - -This book shows that we can live upon a few cents per day and be -stronger and better in every way--it shows why many who gave up eating -meat failed and how they can discard the evil and cease to make -graveyards of their stomachs--the author has experimented with dogs -and cats and found that by feeding milk and well cooked oat-meal from -the weaning period till maturity they throve and were happier gentler -and more active and vivacious. - -Meat causes man to be peevish, ill tempered and criminal, like -tobacco, alcohol and drugs. - -The differentation of animal bodies can be met by the cooking of the -cereals, the short intestines and other conditions of carnivorous -animals are not inhibitions to the discarding of meat as a food. - -Man and animals require pure soft water, hard and polluted water -is a cause of much unsuspected poisoning and the hidden cause of -"epidemics" and diseases--all water should be analyzed before being -accepted as satisfactory. - -Mineralized waters are not desirable and the waters from some wells -and springs are fit for plants but will disorder the liver and -constipate the bowels--many farms are in the grip of misfortune and -losses from having bad water for the use of the home and the animals. - -All of the unused elements which are thrown into the large intestine -as waste should be discharged regularly and in cases of constipation -a mild laxative like Cascara Sagrada or Senna should be taken to help -Nature. - -The great category of medicines of the doctors is a farce and there -is no mysterious "selective affinity" for certain drugs, but all -elements have either one of two actions--a stimulating process or a -refrigerating or embalming process, some remedies go to the liver and -counteract the embalming action and aid the flow of bile and some may -be of a resinous nature and saponify in the alkalies of the intestines -and aid their action. - -It will be seen that the book simplifies medicine to TWO PRINCIPLES, -one counteracting the other like heat and cold but these actions are -unnatural and undesirable; it is only by avoiding discrepancies and -ameliorations that we follow Nature. - -The book explains that the differentations and forms in the universe -are the results of two forces, the curved force and the straight -force, just the same as every word in English language is made up -of letters having only two kinds of lines, the straight and the -curved lines. The book tells just what occurs in the life cells and -protoplasm; this is a remarkable discovery and to show how much so, we -quote from Le Bon the great Scientist, he says: "THE SCHOLAR CAPABLE -OF SOLVING BY HIS INTELLIGENCE THE PROBLEMS SOLVED EVERY MOMENT BY -THE CELLS OF THE LOWEST CREATURE WOULD BE SO MUCH HIGHER THAN OTHER -MEN THAT HE MIGHT BE CONSIDERED BY THEM AS A GOD." (From EVOLUTION OF -FORCES, p. 363). - -Haeckel declared that a cell did not go to the bottom of the secret -of life and that we must allow that the naked protoplasm itself held -the secret of life, this book proves that protoplasm is composed of -molecules with centers of sulphur and phosphorus which conformed into -WHITE SPARKS by the alternations of heat and cold, the SPARKS contain -spirit and each spark has a quiet center or consciousness and a -potential of radiation of force. - -This book is terse and compact, is printed on good paper and bound -with red cloth with gold letters. - -[Illustration: READ IT!] - -[Illustration: THEN TELL YOUR NEIGHBORS ABOUT IT] - - - - -THE -WHITE SPARK - -By - -ORVILLE LIVINGSTON LEACH - -[Illustration] - -Printed by the -OXFORD PRESS -Providence, R. I. - - - - -The White Spark - - - - -Part First. - - -This work is an exposition of a NEW PHILOSOPHY, and although it has -been taught to a number of highly educated men,--in a technical way, -we have had many suggestions made to us to publish a work which the -"work-a-day" people can understand,--some have said: "It is too far -above me," and "why don't you explain it so everybody may understand -it." - -In this section we have especially planned to overcome all such -incongruities. - -First of all we want to say that nature is a strict economist of time, -material and energy--her acts and laws are the simplest possible. - -When you see any philosophy that is complicated, it is wrong, but -if it teaches simplicity it is right--the orthodox creeds have -maintained that the universe contained two distinct and eternal -elements--MATERIAL AND SPIRIT--but this is complication--can be -reduced,--WE ARE MONISTS AND "PANTHEISTS" and we are right,--there is -ONLY ONE ELEMENT IN THE UNIVERSE, AND THAT IS THE PRISTINE SPIRIT. - -This is all that is needed to form the universe, and we will show -that matter is simply an enclosure of SPACE or nothing, having an -outline of spirit which is in such swift motion that it holds the -outline--water can be sent through the air so swiftly that it will -turn aside a steel bar. - -To better illustrate the fact we will take a blackboard and paint it -all over with whitewash, then we take a wet sponge and wipe out round -figures--these will show as black spaces outlined by the white--these -black spaces represent SPACE or nothing, while the white represent -SPIRIT--the black spots then represent MATTER. They are really -nothing, only a form outlined and held by motion of spirit or "ETHER." - -The statement in catechisms that "GOD MADE THE WORLD OUT OF NOTHING" -is then correct, although the statement has been called impossible by -many scientists. - -Our philosophy was the first to enunciate the true nature of matter, -atoms, molecules and electrons. Previous to this atoms were considered -as solid indivisible particles. Later the scientists said matter -was condensed spirit or ether. I imagined so myself once, but upon -reflection I said, "THE ETHER CAN PASS THROUGH EVERYTHING, SO WHAT -COULD HOLD IT OR COMPRESS IT?" And spirit or ether could not compress -ether, as ether is all alike. - -To show our part in teaching the world the truth we will go into a -little history. - -As the readers of this work have probably never read THE LATCH KEY, I -will reprint two paragraphs verbatim, numbers 6 and 17. - -Paragraph 6 will require some explanation. Count Rumford claimed that -heat was nothing but a motion, and in some cases this is so, a motion -of the atoms in a body, but a line of spirit from the sun will cause -atoms on the earth to move, and thus is the real cause of heat, and -so radiation of force or spirit from burning wood will create heat. -Perhaps we have in this paragraph used the nature of spirit rather -vaguely in saying heat is the "prime mover," but heat in one way is -spirit, or analogous to spirit. - - -6. - -Matter Is Only Space or Nothing, With a Wall of Spirit. - -Fire was held in sublime awe by the Egyptians and the sun was -worshipped as the source of Divine Power. The wonderful Pyramids are -supposed to have been erected for the glorification of these subtile -forces in Nature. - -Modern thought reverts to ancient ideas. - -Fire is simply spirit in motion. - -Heat is a circular or circumscribed motion or =direction= in -which spirit is moving--it is the "Prime Mover" of organization, the -creator of matter and the parent of the universe! - -A centrifugal act occurring from the intellectual fiat of -spirit--leaving a center, a whirling away of spirit to a certain -circumference or distance from a center leaving space in the -center--this is materialization, a creating of matter, the formation -of an atom, from nothing! - - -17. - -The Point of a Pin Illustrates the Annihilation of Matter. - -A point continued to an absolute end must end in spirit! Matter is cut -down to something beyond our senses; the absolute end of a point may -contain an atom, but matter ends here--here where one single whirl of -spirit surrounds the smallest amount of space possible. Beyond there -is no whirl or motion of spirit, consequently no matter, yet there is -now unparticled spirit. - -If electricity had been studied correctly no scientist would ever have -imagined that matter was condensed ether. In Maxwell's Elementary -Treatise on Electricity on page 49 he says: "WE KNOW ABSOLUTELY -NOTHING WITH RESPECT TO THE DISTANCE THROUGH WHICH ANY PARTICULAR -PORTION OF ELECTRICITY IS DISPLACED FROM ITS ORIGINAL POSITION." * * * -"THE ACTUAL VELOCITY OF ELECTRICITY IN A TELEGRAPH WIRE MAY BE VERY -SMALL, LESS, SAY, THAN THE HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH IN AN HOUR, THOUGH -THE SIGNALS WHICH IT TRANSMITS MAY BE PROPAGATED WITH GREAT VELOCITY." - -It is the very fact that the ether is not compressible that allows a -wireless signal to be given a thousand miles away instantly. It is -just the same as if you had a long stick and punched a bell 20 feet -away. - -I sent my work, "The Latch Key," to Sir Oliver Lodge and Sir William -Crookes in 1904. Its philosophy was buried for three years before the -ideas were presented to the British Association for the Advancement of -Science. - -Sir William Crookes wrote to me in 1904 stating that he had received -my pamphlet, but he was just leaving home for a vacation of two weeks -and when he returned he would give it his attention. - -In Sir Oliver's great work, called "Life and Matter," he wrote: "But -it appears now that an atom may break up into electric charges, and -these again may some day be found capable of resolving themselves into -pristine ether. In that case the ether alone persists. It is the most -fundamental entity." - -In another book called "Modern Views of Electricity" he said: "Ether -is somehow affected by the immediate neighborhood of gross matter, and -it appears to be =concentrated= inside it to an extent depending -on the =density= of the matter." - -So it is seen that Sir Oliver at this time believed that matter was -compressed or condensed ether. - -In my pamphlets I explained that the ether could not be compressed, -as it was capable of passing through all substance, and that matter -was not =more= of the ether, but instead was =less=, and -that atoms were simply spots of pure space or "nothing," and that the -ether or its moving lines or sheets simply whirled around on empty -space while what was called a vacuum was really the habitat of real -material, or the ether. - -In 1907 Sir Oliver accepted this new version of the nature of matter, -and it was the cause of much excitement in the British Association, -so much so that the report reached America and Prof. Serviss wrote an -article about it in the Boston Sunday American in October, 1907, in -which he says: "The answer as recently given by Sir Oliver Lodge is -amazing beyond belief. The solidest thing in existence, he avers, is -the very thing which for generations has been universally regarded -as the lightest, the most imperceptible, the most utterly tenuous -and evanescent beyond all definition or computation--the ether!" And -in the same article he says: "Matter, Prof. Osborne Reynolds has -asserted, instead of being, as we innocently believe on the evidence -of our senses, the only real and solid thing in nature is, in fact, -the absence or deficiency of mass." - -The following is an article by Sir Oliver Lodge in regard to spirits: - - "Though for many years, ever since the eighties, I have - tried all sorts of other methods of explaining these things, - they have gradually been eliminated one after the other, - and now no explanations remain except the simple one that - the people who communicate are really the individuals they - claim to be. Not always, of course. One has to prove them - in every case. But still the conclusion is that survival of - existence can be scientifically proved by actual psychical - investigation. - - "That all leads to a perception of the unity running - through all states of existence. That is why I say that - man is not alone; that is why I say that I know he is - surrounded by other intelligences. If you once step over the - boundary beyond man, there is no limit to higher and higher - intelligences up to the Infinite Intelligence himself. There - is no stopping; you go on and must go on until you come to - God. - - "It is no strange land to which I am leading you. The Cosmos - is one. We here on this planet are limited in certain ways - and are blind to much that is going on; but I tell you we - are surrounded by beings working with us, cooperating, - helping such as people in visions have had some perception - of. And that which religion tells us, that saints and angels - are with us, that the Master Himself is helping us, is, I - believe, literally true." - -In presenting this work to the public we claim no right to inject any -fallacies into the mind of the reader, and as far as we can discover -there is no cause for any misapprehension in regard to our statements. -THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUTH to any question, and all we base our claims -upon is our ability to present facts pertaining to our enunciations. - -Fallacies are very short lived among persons who use their brains, and -the only credit which any philosophy earns is from the good precepts -which it inculcates, the value which it proves to the world and the -TRUTH WHICH IT HOLDS. - -It is usually the case that a careless person resents any philosophy -which conflicts with their habits, no matter how many facts you -present to them or how much history you cite to them in proof of your -statements. - -The use of tobacco and liquor deadens the users' alertness to -safeguarding their own welfare, and in many cases with poisons and -also diet the only thing we can do is to try to have you learn the -truth, and if the end of the rope has been reached and you are at the -ebb of life and hope, you will have more willingness to conform to the -laws of life. If you don't need our philosophy as a "missionary," some -time, you may want it as a doctor. Learn it, anyway. - -The greatest field for fruitful efforts is with the children. If we -can prevent their using improper articles of food and drink and teach -them the nature of their effects, then we may find better soil for -the seeds of rectitude. Of course a little dissipation may not always -cause great trouble. - -There is but ONE GOD and we may tell about SAVIOURS, "SONS OF -GOD" and the TRINITY, but there is only one SAVIOUR and that is A -TEACHER--either a SPIRIT or a HUMAN BEING--and the only salvation is -in the following of Natural Laws which are GOD'S BIBLE. There are -Natural laws which are OCCULT LAWS, and these sometimes contravene -what we may call "LAWS OF MATTER." - -A TEACHER OF THE TRUTHS OF NATURAL SCIENCE IS GOD'S NOBLEMAN, and -KNOWLEDGE IS OUR ONLY SALVATION. - -The use of stimulants is just the same as if you should use a 104 volt -electric lamp on a current with 250 volts. It would be burnt out; -and so your nerves which are the wires of the body are wasted away -by stimulants. They are all alike practically. Alcohol and essential -oils act as a kindler to the natural combustives in the tissues and -the alkaloids or organic bases, as nicotine, morphine, etc., act like -radium. - -Quinine is an alkaloid also, and I will here reprint a selection from -the original LATCH KEY which explains the manner in which the organic -bases become dangerous. They all contain nitrogen, which may account -for their affinity for the nerve substance. - - -32. - -Light and Heat From Radium Are From the Absorption of Ether. - -The emission of light from a substance spontaneously, as in the case -of "Radium," is not a new phenomenon. Nearly forty years ago Prof. -Stokes enunciated the fact. - -He filled a glass tube with a solution of sulphate of quinine and -then moved it through the spectrum, entering at the red ray. When it -had passed through all the colors and entered the region of the ultra -violet, or where the invisible magnetic rays were, the tube lighted up. - -A solution of horse chestnut acted in the same way, so also did glass -stained with oxide of uranium. - -Paragraph 45 was sort of a mysterious alchemical article explaining a -secret of life. Life comes from the formation of WHITE SPARKS or vacuo -in matter, and therefore bioplasmic elements MUST BE LIQUID, SOLUBLE -OR MOBILE. They must be capable of conforming into ROUND GLOBULES. -Then the second feature must come in--heat and cold to expand the -molecule and cool the outside and allow the inside to later contract -and form a vacuum in the center, the home of SPIRIT. - -"Decay" generates life as it makes solid substances soluble. Of -course, excessive decay creates a gas and then this evaporates. - - -45. - -Secrets of Silicon. - -Moses was a great alchemist, skilled in all the arts and sciences of -the Egyptians. The works or writings of Moses are called Books of the -Old Testament and not works on alchemy, but tradition tells us that -his sister Miriam wrote an extensive work on alchemy--(the Catholic -Bible has the name Miriam translated as Mary). - -In Genesis Chap. 3, verse 19, we read, "Till thou return unto the -ground, for out of it thou was taken; for dust thou art and unto dust -shalt thou return." - -Some scientists scoff at the idea of Moses and some scoff at the idea -of "Spontaneous Generation," but we can prove that both are true. - -Life can be produced from MINERAL ELEMENTS ALONE. - -Silicon has always been a source of dispute among chemists in regard -to its classification. Some consider it a regular metal, but it is -usually called a "hyalogen" or glass former like Boron. - -Silicon is never found in its pure metallic state in nature, but is in -combination with oxygen, as is then called by various names as Silica, -Silex, Silicic Acid and SAND, which is the most abundant of mineral -substances. - -The most important and useful elements as air, water and sand God -gives FREE TO ALL, they are found everywhere. - -Sand is at one time a crystallized substance and at another time it -may be A COLLOID substance and thus become the same nature as an -"organized substance," as albumen. - -Sand is insoluble in pure water, but it is dissolved by alkaline -solutions. Natural waters which contain alkaline carbonates always -have some sand in solution. - -Sand from its two fold nature seems to be the bond between death and -life or the solution to the theory of "from dust to life." - -Sand when in solution is a colloid. - -If 8 or 10 parts of carbonate of soda or potash are mixed with 12 or -15 parts of sand and 1 part of charcoal on being heated they melt and -form a mass resembling ordinary glass, but it entirely dissolves in -=hot water=. - -If now chlorohydric acid be added to the solution it neutralizes the -alkali and the silica or sand separates as A TRANSPARENT JELLY. A -colloid! It is "hydrate of silica," but it is now fixed like albumen -or an organized substance and is insoluble in water or acid. - -If it is kept moist it remains a colloid, but by drying it and -separating it from its partner, water, the colloid making alchemical -mysterious WATER, the sand turns to dust again--a gritty powder! - -At common temperatures carbonic acid is stronger than silica, and -upon many of the combinations of silica the air acts as a destructive -agent, its carbonic acid slowly uniting with bases or alkali and -liberating the silica, and at the moment of its liberation the sand is -soluble in water. - -Sand, it will be seen, acts both as an acid and combines with an -alkali and as a base and combines with acids. - -Sand in solution enters the roots of plants and from its transforming -nature or transmutation, it performs great wonders in nature, it -performs miracles in the animal body and in water itself. - -It is the ideal agent for the generation of =vacuo spaces= or -life cells, from its being in one state when warm and in another when -cold, from its being capable of forming soft cell walls and then -concreting around a quantity of ether or spirit upon cooling. It -proves itself the "Philosopher's Stone." - -Hot and cold and silicon! What a wonderful combination! It explains -the mysteries of the universe, radio-activity and life. - -It may be well to here state that there is no chemical difference -between a dead man's brain and nerves and a live man's brain and -nerves. This in itself shows that the cause of life and intelligence -is simply from some conformation of matter which allows the presence -of Spirit. This is the invisible process of the formation of WHITE -SPARKS or the making of a hollow center to molecules. - -LIFE is not a principle per se of organic matter, but organic -matter is arranged into round molecules with cell center of silicon -phosphorus, sulphur or iron. - -The hard and fast nature of the elements is an imagination and it is -only a short step of nature from quartz or silicon to carbon and I may -also say to nitrogen the gas of the atmosphere. - -THE FARMER CAN BECOME A MAGICIAN by intellect. We once proved that by -the use of lime or an alkali vegetables can be made to grow IN SAND. A -tomato plant was planted in a mixture of sand and plasterer's mortar -(a mixture of quick lime and sand) and a bushel of tomatoes were -gathered from this one plant. The lime makes the sand soluble and acts -the same as manure which produces carbonic acid which at the moment of -its formation acts as a solvent of sand and this gives growth. Water -is the great element of life and growth--with the heating effect of -the sun and the alternations of temperature or cooling after heating -we augment the life and growth. - -I will reprint some more of the articles which were in THE LATCH KEY, -as they seemed to strike the readers more impressibly than anything -which I ever wrote, and in fact THE LATCH KEY seemed to have hypnotic -influence. First of all IT WAS ANONYMOUS and no author's name appeared -and further it was given away. - -One lady in later years found out the author and wrote to me for a -few copies, saying she could not help crying when she read paragraph -37. Perhaps the paragraph took on the "poetical" and thus reached her -sentiments. - - -37. - -The Secret of Life! - -The little chapel peacefully resting under the overhanging trees, with -the solemn graveyard beside it, tells the story of life's longings and -miseries. Yet within the little chapel, however humble, can be learned -the secret of life's joy and success and the eternal happiness of the -soul! - -Life's sentiments are fragrant, space only is fraught with pain! - -Spirit fledges space, unlocks the caverns of misery and sheds the -light in the gloom. - -Man grovels in the dark mid the skulls of despair till he lists to the -whisper of spirit. The lisping pines, the rustling oaks, the sunshine -in the meadow and the moonlight on the hill speak in accents calm and -clear. Our motto: - - "SPIRITUS EXCELLO." - -Water is the great agent of life or conformation as it is mobile. - -Molecules which are round when whirled or heated take to orbits, but -the metallic substances having molecules of a disc shape whirl on -their axes. I herewith give articles 26 and 42 of the LATCH KEY: - - -42. - -Why Ashes or Water Do Not Burn. - -Fire is the action of atoms or molecules in separating farther apart. -To be sure, ashes have atoms, but for atoms to whirl apart their -motion must be so that they can separate. If the heat causes them to -whirl on their axis only, the substance may get red hot, but will not -burn. - -And some substances do not burn because the heat and motion applied -whirls the molecules or groups of atoms apart and wastes its motion in -that way. Water acts this way (steam). - -Crystallization is the result of the formation of vaco cells or white -sparks, and I reprint paragraph 26 to explain this fact: - - -26. - -Annealing and Malleability of Metals. - -Crystallization has been considered in paragraph 21, but when matter -is cooled very slowly through long periods of time, vacuo spaces are -not formed. - -Ordinary cast iron is crystallized, but when it is heated in a furnace -and gradually cooled through several days or weeks, it becomes -"malleable iron." - -The iron which is used as an electro-magnet for a telegraphic machine -will not work unless the iron is annealed very soft by being heated -and allowed to cool in the ashes as the fire gradually dies out. - -Crystallization is the most wonderful dovetailing process conceivable. -When a liquid is cooled the molecules become radio active and radiate -lines of force. These lines are nearly straight, unlike heat lines, -and therefore they are cold lines. They drive matter in planes and -straight lines or surfaces instead of into globules or liquids which -move. The discs of ice cannot move or roll about like the globules of -water, and ice is hard like quartz or a form of flint or silica. - -All objects are formed by the action of TWO forces, either a curling -force or a straight force. Plants form leaves in the air, and where -there is more obstruction and curving influence they form roots. ALL -CELLS ARE ALIKE in their first state, but are changed in the process -of growth or from influences. - -A slip from a geranium when stuck into the earth will form roots. It -seems to me that each cell in an egg contains a counterpart of the -whole body of a chicken--that is, it contains electrons or occult -matter which, once having passed through all parts of a fowl's body, -in the blood photographs these parts. - -We can account for the various parts of the egg yolk turning its -cells into different forms by the location which the particular cell -occupies--as cells in various parts,--at the center,--or at the -surface,--would be subject to curling forces or straight forces. At -the center forces would be obstructed and curled, and at the surface -just the opposite, and a hundred variations, according to the location -and surroundings. - -How many times I have wished that a social condition could be -instituted by which EVERY LIVING BEING in the world or the -universe could be happy and free from fear, worriment, hunger, and -exposure--where peace, plenty and pleasure existed for all--where all -could have a horse, automobile, golf link or any correct thing which -their ideas called for to make them enjoy themselves. - -FOUR HOURS' labor per day is enough for any one and there is enough -in the world to give every one happiness and plenty if THE SOCIAL -CONDITION was arranged correctly. - -While there are many unfeeling capitalists, yet the poor are not -always right. They don't know how to act for their own welfare. They -may know what they want, but don't know how to get it. An ignorant -poor man will often sell his vote or he is too ignorant to learn that -he should obey correct laws. - -The London Spectator recently gave a biography of former Secretary of -State JOHN HAY and I give an excerpt from the same: - - "It was natural that Hay should despise the arts of the - demagogue. He speaks with scorn of what he calls 'gutter - Ciceros,' and of the practice adopted during a sharp - electoral campaign of 'hiring dirty orators by the dozen to - blather on street corners.' He very rightly held that it - was the special duty of statesmen in democratic countries - to have the courage of their opinions. He himself wrote a - novel, entitled 'The Bread Winners,' which was widely read, - and which was really an elaborate defence of capital against - the attacks of labor; and in 1905 he wrote to President - Roosevelt: 'It is a comfort to see the most popular man - in America telling the truth to our masters, the people. - It requires no courage to attack wealth and power, but to - remind the masses that they too are subject to the law is - something few public men dare to do.' - - "America at her best can produce men of a very high type. - Such a man was John Hay." - - - - -Part Second - -Spirits and the Spirit Land. - - -1. Reveries in the Country. - -It was a day in January. The desultory snow-flakes were skudding -here and there and a white mantle was becoming visible on the fence -tops and pine trees, and as I gazed dreamily from the window of my -study I heard the church bell in the belfry of the village church -peal out its glad tidings of love; and as its decadence faded away, -a thought peaceful and quiet captured my soul,--it seemed as if the -reverberating voice of the holy bell had told me a story--a secret of -happiness and peace. - - -2. Redemption of the World. - -And as I settled back in my broad wicker arm chair before the blazing -hearth fire I said to my inner soul: "How beautiful is this moment! -Can I perpetuate the sentiments which give me joy on this Sabbath -day, can I delve into the laws of comfort and rest and emerge with a -TROPHY TO REDEEM THE WORLD?" - - -3. Spirit and Matter. - -The scintillating sparks in the fireplace rose up on the wings of a -golden glow, paused for a moment and then I saw a flash of pure white -light gleam like the star of Bethlehem. I had seen the wild, red coals -changed to peaceful, redeemed souls of light. - - -4. A Truism of Nature an Eternal Principle. - -The church bell, emblematic of religion, and the "white spark," a -ubiquitous principle of the universe; visions of the superstructure of -the millennium, rose up before me--religion and science hand in hand, -science the fact and religion the herald or harbinger. - - -5. Matter Only the Wake of Spirit. - -I had seen that from out the depths of the base matter come forth a -substance pure and glorious. Transmutation then had proved that there -is no vile, low or corrupt matter in the universe, and the idea is a -relic of the ignorance inculcated in the dim vistas of the past. All -matter is simply a figure sculptured by the pencil of spirit, vortices -which use space as a playground, speed which holds the lines stiff and -refractory against ultra intrusion. - - -6. Science of the White Spark. - -Now I see two visions--two houses in the precinct of nature--the first -a structure of spirit for the abode of space or nothing; second, a -structure of space for the abode of spirit, the all, the great, the -powerful, and the conscious; the first, a minute affair, an atom; the -second, a collocation of atoms forming a shell or larger structure -for the abode of spirit, and this is formed by a heated or mobile, -molecule conforming substance, suddenly cooled by oxygen or a cold -temperature, when a shell is formed and indurated, and a hollow center -made. - - -7. Symbol of the White Spark. - -I introduce a new symbol ° the emblem which will represent the white -spark, the circle or hollow globe, for this is what the white spark -is, and this spark prevails throughout the universe. It is a hollow -molecule, holding an air-tight reservoir, excluding everything but -spirit or the ether. - - -8. The Spark is a Receptacle of Mind and a Potential of Force. - -The white spark is alive. It has a shell formed of rotating atoms -which roll in the spirit or magnetic lines of force. The lines -converge to a common center. Here they must halt for an instant. Force -cannot be lost, so it is transmuted into consciousness. This mind can -now radiate lines of force from the center out again. - - -9. Mathematics of the Spark. - -If you take a silver dime and lay it on the table you will find that -it always takes just six dimes to form a ring around it. This leaves -six spaces between the dimes, and it is the same with atoms, and a -molecule seen from the side if radio-active, and if we could see the -lines of force, would show six streams of force, and the snow-flake -always has six points. - - -10. Crumbling Sparks and Permanent Sparks. - -The sparks of combustion explode from the inner force, but the -"sparks" of a magnet and radium do not, and the sparks formed in -protoplasm or in the nerves and brain last longer than the sparks of -combustion, and the sparks in the spiritual bodies of departed souls -are like radium. - - -11. Location of the Spirit Land. - -In paragraph 6 I refer to two visions of houses in the precinct of -nature. Now I refer to a third, the greatest, most beautiful and -wonderful abode in the universe. This house has no interior of simple -space or nothing, and again it has no outer wall of matter. It is the -pristine spirit and it is in the interstellar spaces outside of the -planets. - - -12. Conditions in the Spirit Land. - -In this land there is no gravity or obstruction. What is built and -placed there is free from destruction and decay. Living spirits can -move by a thought and build by their desires; spirits can outstrip the -earth in its flight in its orbit, can come to earth and leave at any -time or part of its orbit. This is a home of joy. - - -13. Attributes of Spirit. - -The soul is kept in our body by the magnetism of our blood. When a -person goes into a trance there is an embargo on the blood and the -soul can leave the spark cells of the nerve substance of the brain -and occupy a spiritual body or electrical vapor in the atmosphere -or ether. During sleep or failing powers of the mind, the soul is -drowned out by matter, the permanent spiritual center of the spark -is overflowed with matter and consciousness is temporarily turned -to motion. Spirit always, in any amount, has the attributes of -intelligence and power; the ether transmits intelligences. - - -14. Superiority of Spirit. - -When our soul leaves our body it enters its own, it becomes clear and -bright as in childhood; there is no fear, pain or dimness of thought -and mind. We meet our friends, we remember and visit our earthly -friends in the human body, we strive for their uplift and happiness, -we live in happiness and peace, yet our earthly career affects our -degree of spiritual advancement, and the truths which you can learn -at the little country chapel and the emulation of the "SERMON ON THE -MOUNT" will prove to be your "WAND OF HOPE." - - -15. The Pope Says the Advent of the Saviour Is Near. - -In a decree of Pope Benedict sent out from Rome on January 19, 1915, -he says: "Those days which Christ predicted seem in fact to have come, -'You shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. For nation shall rise -against nation and kingdom against kingdom'." Christ can return to -earth in spirit. There is no need for Him to come otherwise. He can -talk to a person adapted to receive telepathic instructions and give -the world His message. - -Some readers may be averse to the claims that Jesus Christ is -anything but an imaginary person from the inventions of the priests -of the early ages, and others may claim that contemporary with the -dates applied to the fictitious legend there was a great teacher and -the teachings recorded were from this teacher. But what difference -does a name make? The only issue of any value is what is taught. No -great teacher cares a whit about what the people think about his -personality if they accept his works. The name Jesus has been applied -to the teacher of the good things in the New Testament for so long a -time now that we can well afford to grant the application, whatever -might have been his acceded name. - -All the ether in interstellar space is intelligent, and if we connect -our mind with it we gain power and intuition by a "sixth sense," but -to do this we must not throw the blanket of too much blood about the -brain. "Prophets" have to diet and fast. - - - - -Part Third - -How to Generate the White Spark or "Vaco-Cells" in Our Body. - - -All the life and thought on this earth and in any material and on any -other earth or body in the universe comes from a peculiar transaction -by which all matter is cleared away and a space left wherein there is -nothing but the invisible ether or spirit. - -The origination of all tangible matter was from the degradation of -spirit and the transmutation of thought into motion, and it is by the -motion of spirit that matter is formed from spirit. - -Therefore to regain the conditions of thought and to regulate the -adjustment of material or matter conditions must be instituted which -simulate the original state, and evade the decadence from contiguosity -of matter and generate SPIRIT in vaco-cells with life and power. - -This great principle is the keynote of all that we hope for in -existence. It is the most vital science and yet it has remained -totally hidden from the ken of mankind. - -This NEW SCIENCE opens up a field in the new order which holds the -greatest hopes for utopian success ever given to man. - -It is not gold, power, notoriety or glamor that make for this great -process of joy and health. It is not the costly foods and luxuries -which bring us within reach of this coveted condition. - -When we learn the facts we find that the great part of mankind are -very much misinformed and that human knowledge is upside down. We -find that peace and happiness like air and water are not under a ban, -but that God is on the side of the unostentatious and simple living -people, and that what has been considered by some as poverty is really -greatness in disguise. - -Nature never places any premium on truth and like all good things -should be free of access. - -Among the things which we give, you will find new methods of -combatting disease, a means of economic freedom and of rising above -misfortune. - -We will show that most diseases are caused by the food and drink which -is used. The theories of the "howling germ doctors" are all insane -emanations from an ignorant mind. We will prove that there are two -distinct types of disease with an admixture of these two types. - -The first type is malarial and is caused by a mal-assimilation of -sugar and grease, fat or oil in the system. The second type is -"small-pox" and is caused by the non-assimilation of the nitrogenized -element of meat, or gelatinous elements. - -When you know the cause you can avoid the disease. GERMS or MICROBES -are not the cause of disease, but are beneficent provisions of nature -to reduce meat proteids, etc., which are blocking the system, to a -state in which they can be eliminated from the blood, and therefore we -always find the poisonous URIC ACID in all cases of small-pox, etc. -Even an excess of vegetable proteid is injurious. - -In malarial diseases we always find an excess of carbonic acid or -other acidulous products of decaying or germ inhabited sugars or -glycerines (from grease, etc.). - -A diet of skim-milk and white bread will cure malaria, and a diet of -SKIM-MILK and oat-meal will cure kidney disease. - -During health the blood is always ALKALINE, while the tissues or -nerves and ganglia or brain are always acidulous. NOW THIS IS WHAT I -WANT TO IMPRESS UPON THE MIND, for it relates to my discovery of the -WHITE SPARK PRINCIPLE. An acid acts like heat, while an alkali acts -like cold. The molecules in an acid are rotating in orbits, while the -molecules of an alkali rotate on an axis, so we can see how when the -blood becomes acidulous as in disease WHITE SPARK CELLS OF LIFE CANNOT -BE FORMED. - -SUGAR has proven itself a bane to humanity. It is a modern product and -was not used by the ancients. Honey had a limited field as a luxury, -and here I will say the high cost of luxuries has been a protective -principle for poor people. - -Sugar has no limit of solution. Water will absorb it until an immobile -syrup is formed, and glycerine, a product of grease, acts similar to -sugar in the system. - -Syrup has a great affinity for LIME, and children who eat candy and -sweet foods have bad teeth, as the lime required for the teeth is -absorbed from the blood by the sugar. Any chemist knows the great -affinity of syrup for lime, and this is why he makes the syrup of lime -which is used in prescriptions where lime is required. - -Sugar acts as an acid, chemically, forming Saccarites with the bases -or alkalis. Sugar destroys the natural alkaline state of the blood. - -There has been a great scare around Boston about a "NEW DISEASE." -The doctors have various ideas about its nature and treatment. It -is generally called ACIDOSIS and is supposed to be the result of -eating too much sugar; but some doctors say it is AN EPIDEMIC and is -not caused by sugar. In the disease the blood has been found to be -acidulous. - -Sugar will fill the system with an embalming element, and thus the -tissues are saturated with an element which acts on the system like -ashes thrown on a fire. They extinguish it, and as sugar prevents -oxidation in the system, the VACO-CELLS or "WHITE SPARKS" cannot form. - -There are times when electrical machines will produce only a few weak -sparks and at other times powerful sparks are produced, and it has -been proved that this state of non-electrical atmosphere is the cause -of EPIDEMICS when the system is loaded with either sugar or gelatinous -products of a meat diet. - -Fasting is often necessary in disease, for disease is usually a -congestion of the blood and a distention of the blood vessels, and -when we lessen the quantity of blood or the excessive pressure from -the effects of stimulants, etc., we allow the blood vessels to get a -grip on the blood and force it along. A dog or horse will never eat -when he is sick. - -An invalid for a time may do best on a little toasted white bread -and skim-milk, as oat-meal, etc., may contain too much gluten, which -is not needed in the system at this time. There is a difference in -proteids. Gluten is more like gelatine and is used where toughness is -required as in the skin, tendons and muscle. The vital proteids are -required in the nerves and brain. - -It is not well to eat eggs for breakfast in all kinds of sickness, but -a soft boiled egg for dinner may be good for some. - -The excessive use of meat is a cause of cancer, and it is the gelatine -which is to blame. There are two factors, however, which should be -considered. We may eat gelatine, sugar or grease, and if we work -hard in the open air we overcome the disease in a measure. It has -been proved that carnivorous fishes have cancers if the fishes are -crowded in a pool, but removal to running water cures them, as running -water contains more air and oxygen which gives more nerve power and -eliminates the useless material. - -It is the same with malaria. Work in the pure air burns off the -hydro-carbons better and the blood becomes more mobile. - -When we use oat-meal, mush, etc., with skim-milk we don't get much -solid food, for we fool ourselves by taking lots of water which we -would not use otherwise. In winter stabled horses are seen to excrete -dark heavy urine, as they are fed on grain or proteids and drink -little water. Vegetables contain much water and are useful. - -The air in closed rooms is dead, but out-door air is in motion. Decay -and filth fills the air with gasses and oxygen is displaced, which -means death to "the white spark" of the nerves, the generators of -power. - -If you have money and leisure you can dissipate more with less -inconvenience than as if you had no money or time. - -It has been proved that the use of alcohol, tobacco, etc., wastes the -tissues and nourishment the same as hard work and overworks the liver, -kidneys and lungs; but work is the poor man's bulwark, and thus it is -that the abstemious person is always a better, wiser, more reasonable -and industrious employe than the other. - -The "sport" has a debauch and then a "loaf" or else he soon goes to -the sanitarium. Stimulants always lessen your powers after each dose -or after the first effects are worn out. - -We can show you how to overcome poverty without a labor union -propaganda, or a lodge benefit, for you can live on a few cents per -day and become better off thereby, if you follow the right method. -Many have tried to live on boiled potatoes, beans, skim-milk and -vegetables, but have failed; but the trouble was this: the system had -been adapted to the stimulation of creatinin, the stimulant of meat, -and when this was withdrawn there was a slack action to the stomach -and general system. But I have proved that if you use some onions or -celery or some mild condiment like pepper or the like you can avoid -meat without trouble. - -Many reformers have failed because they drop stimulants, yet still eat -soups and meats or cakes and rich dishes. YOU MUST DROP THESE THINGS -WHEN YOU DROP ALCOHOL AND DRUGS, for meat gelatines, grease and sugar -make a heavy refractory blood and nature calls for an increased nerve -action, but this stimulation is a first stage of inflammation with -its weakening reaction. Starch is transformed into grape sugar in the -intestines, yet nature regulates this better than when sugar is taken -directly into the stomach, as this goes directly to the liver. - -The simple living person gets up earlier, works easier and gets more -enjoyment from the sunshine, the open fireplace and all the beauties -of nature. - -A fine cigar may stimulate the brain, but like Emerson you may decline -when you should be in your prime, and perhaps, like him, lose your -memory. Emerson in his last years attended the funeral of his old -friend, Longfellow the poet, but could not remember this man's name at -his last rites. - -I believe it is utterly impossible for any person to live a real safe -moral life, according to the Christian code, and subsist upon the -ordinary food and drink of the times. For instance, the use of coffee -will often create immoral feelings which a saint could not overcome. -Tobacco creates sensations in a like manner. Anything which creates -undue nerve action causes a congestion of the inner organs. I might as -well tell you to place a torch in a powder magazine and then prevent -an explosion as to tell you to become a true Christian and live upon -highly exciting foods or drugs. - -There was never a true saint which did not practice self-restraint in -regard to foods, drinks and habits. - -You will see that I am an advocate of the simple life, yet I want -to say that I am not trying to drive anyone against their will, -and I also want to say that I do not say you will go to immediate -destruction, always, by diverging from my creed. Some persons from -the nature of their ordinarily proper habits withstand much that is -taboed by science, yet this does not change the facts that correct -physiological habits are the only ones to be condoned. - -The use of some fruit sauce may not always prove serious, of course, -and the farmer who eats baked apples and milk may plod along in his -own way and retain good health, yet an invalid who can barely keep -alive had better be fed on easily assimilated concentrated life -building food. As explained elsewhere, a person who does not use -alcohol or tobacco, etc., can use some fruit sauces, etc., and as the -poisons have not weakened the nerves which govern the liver and vital -organs, the liver can take care of the acids and sugars. Stimulants -create wastes in excess and overpower the kidneys and liver, and when -they are discarded there is loss of required nerve power. - -When a nation has any serious business on hand or when Arctic -explorers want to get to their goal they abolish the use of ALCOHOL. - -Russia has been under prohibition for the short time of the war, and -the decrease of crime has already proved what a monster DRINK has -been. In 33 precincts of Moscow for the first half year of 1914 there -was an average of 986 criminal cases a month, while for the first -temperance month there were only 406. Crime was reduced 54.7 per cent. - -Within two weeks after the closing of the wine shops of Russia she -felt as if RESURECTED, and it was proved that perfect temperance was -possible and that alcohol was not a necessity. - -This is only the working out of a Natural Law and is the enactment of -one branch of codes, and it holds true of drugs and all of the many -branches of physiological requisites. - -Individual freedom many times is a menace to a person's welfare. This -is proved by the "freedom" with which persons can get drunk. - -If the monarch was a wise and conscientious ruler, an absolute -monarchy would be a blessing. God is an absolute monarch and his law -is absolute. Nature has no favorites and we must obey the law or pay -the penalty. - -Society is to blame for crime. If municipalities would enact -ordinances preventing the dispensing of injurious foods and drinks, -and otherwise control the PREVENTION of a person's dissipation, it -would necessarily vanish. - -But we see the evils of giving legislatures power to enact coercive -medical laws when ignorance controls the legislators. - -The forcing of citizens to submit to the inoculation of virus or serum -in themselves or their animals is equal to the monstrosities of the -medieval ages. The recent epidemic of hoof and mouth disease, the Germ -Doctors themselves admit, was caused by a hog cholera serum which -was tested by the government bacteriologists and pronounced clean -and was sold by a Chicago firm. The hoof and mouth disease has never -been proved to be a generator of specific "germs," as no microscope -has ever detected any such germ, and the poison will pass through a -porcelain filter. So how can the virus be "tested?" - -There is an epidemic of "Grip" about now, and a health doctor, Dr. -Chapin of Providence, R. I., says: "Persons with mild attacks -continue at their work and thus rapidly spread the disease. It is for -this reason that isolation and official control have never been able -to check an outbreak. The epidemics run out themselves after a few -weeks." - -Well, then, we are safe! Let them run out instead of poisoning -thousands of healthy persons with Typhoid and other serums. - -Every German soldier, it is claimed, is given the three inoculations -of Typhoid Serum before going to the front, but recent medical reports -say the Typhoid fever has been malignant in the men in the trenches. - -There has recently been a great amount of study about the ductless -glands of the animal body. It has been variously claimed this thing -and the other for their uses, but I am going to tell what nature -made them for, THEY ARE FOR THE REDUCTION OR "DECAY" OF PROTEIDS -WHICH MAKES THEM VERY SOLUBLE AND READY FOR THE FEEDING OF THE NERVES -AND CELLS. The elements which go into them never come out, but are -reabsorbed. With one exception, the male sacs eject the nerve food -for the propagation of the species, but it is a cause of disease and -weakness. - -It is proved that the ductless glands (or sacs) take in proteids which -become formed into granules and gradually decay or are broken down -enough to be reabsorbed. - -The loss of the fluids of these glands is the loss of an alkaline -nerve food, and many diseases would be avoided if chastity had been -preserved. They prevent the acidity of the blood, which is the cause -of many diseases. - -The bacteriologists must learn that they cannot fool nature. If your -system holds substances which nature must remove by germs it is of no -use to kill the germs, because this does not remove the cause. If we -kill all the specific germs of one disease, then nature will give some -other germs in place of them. - -There has been a great cry that consumption has decreased. Perhaps -it has, but nature still gives just as much action with her required -eliminating process as ever. Here is what Dr. Hutchinson writes in the -Boston American, January 10, 1916: - - "Although, in the main, the march of modern medicine has - been a series of triumphs, at certain points its progress - has been checked, if not actually defeated. - - "While we have been steadily beating back typhoid, - tuberculosis and diphtheria, most of the diseases which have - baffled us have been either maladies of later life, like - cancer and arterial sclerosis, or conditions depending upon - long continued action of a variety of imperfectly known - causes, like heart disease, Bright's disease and insanity. - - "But there is also one disease among the pure infections - whose germ has been identified, whose active cause known for - nearly thirty years past, which still defies us, and that is - pneumonia. - - "In fact, for some ten or fifteen years past, we have been - faced with the singular and disquieting paradox, that of the - two greatest and most fatal diseases of the lungs, while - tuberculosis has been steadily declining, pneumonia has been - rapidly increasing in deadliness. - - "Twenty years ago tuberculosis caused about one-seventh - of all the deaths in the United States; pneumonia, about - one-fifteenth. To-day tuberculosis has fallen to about - one-twelfth of the deaths, while pneumonia has risen to - one-tenth. - - "One reason why pneumonia so baffled medical skill was that, - although the germ, or rather germs--for there are at least - four varieties of them, each producing a different type of - the disease--were well known, the infection seldom naturally - spreads to other human beings, and it was for a long time - rather difficult to transmit it experimentally to animals. - - "Further than that, the pneumococcus which produced the - most serious types of the disease was, if not identical - with, quite hard to distinguish from two or three types of - streptococci which were found in abundance in the human - mouth, about the roots of the teeth and in the tonsils, even - in conditions of perfect health. - - "So that we were driven to the discouraged conclusion that - some 'state of the system,' or lowered resisting power or - other unknown factor, was necessary in order to allow the - pneumonia coccus to get a foothold in the lungs and produce - the disease; and there the case hung for a number of years. - - -The Open Air Cure. - - "Considerable improvement in all but the most virulent type - of cases was produced by the introduction of the open air - treatment, with abundant feeding similar to that relied upon - in tuberculosis. But we could not honestly say that we knew - of any drug or remedy which appeared to have a directly - curative effect upon the disease." - -Can't you see that the product is 22 in either case? And don't you see -that the "germ doctors" have not fooled nature? - -There is a great epidemic of "grip" and pneumonia sweeping the -country--one of the worst ever known. In Providence, R. I., the -disease has been the cause of more deaths in a given time than was -ever known. Here is what the Evening Bulletin says in the issue of -January 10, 1916: - - "Fifteen persons in Providence died of pneumonia or grip - during the second half of last week, making 35 lives claimed - here by the epidemic in the first eight days of January. - - "This is the largest number of deaths from these diseases - which the city has ever had in a similar period. Physicians - report that there is no indication of a let-up in the - epidemic as yet, and that a continuance of the unusually - high death rate may be expected. - - "There were nine deaths from pneumonia last Thursday, Friday - and Saturday, and six fatalities from grip. The deaths for - the first eight days of the month are as follows: Pneumonia - 24, grip 10, acute bronchitis 1." - -At the Rhode Island State Institutions there are nearly 300 cases of -the disease--100 at the State Prison alone--but at the State Reform -School for girls there is not one case, as this school gives better -hygienic care to the inmates. But the great reason is the girls are -not dissipated and nature does not have to produce the germs in their -systems. - -Reformers are often bombarded with statistics by brewery owners, -distillers and those whose ideas are regulated by personal benefits. -The favorite weapon is the story of the man who lived to be old and -always drank or smoked. Here is a reprint of such a story: - - HALE AND HEARTY AT 102. - - New Jerseyman Chews Tobacco as Preventive of Disease. - - Newton, N. J., Dec. 22.--Charles Ashford Shafer, Sushex - County's oldest resident, celebrated his one hundred and - second birthday at the home of his son, George Shafer, - to-day. Mr. Shafer is still active, hale and hearty, and - walks several miles a day. He was born a few miles from here - and has spent all his life in this section. For many years - he conducted a distillery. The centenarian declares that - chewing tobacco is a means of preventing disease, and he has - been chewing it since a boy. Mr. Shafer reads without the - aid of glasses. - -But wait a minute--here is a better one: - - TEETOTALER DEAD AT 115. - - West Virginian Never Tasted Liquor or Tobacco in His Life. - - Wheeling, W. Va., Nov. 29.--Henderson Cremeans, known to be - the oldest man in West Virginia and probably the oldest in - the United States, died to-day at the home of his grandson, - Clark Cremeans, near Point Pleasant, Mason County, aged 115 - years. He never tasted liquor or tobacco in his life. - -And when we study statistics of the insurance business we may rest -assured that they are correct, for an insurance company gets a premium -on every policy and regulates its action upon the correct statistics. -Here is another reprint: - - SAYS PROHIBITION IN RUSSIA WILL SAVE 500,000 MEN - - Insurance Expert Claims That If Czar Carries Out Present - Intention, Loss of Half Million in War Will Be Made Up in - Decade. - - New York, Dec. 11.--Results of an investigation in which - an entirely new set of statistics had been gathered were - put before the Association of Life Insurance Presidents at - their annual meeting at the Hotel Astor yesterday and threw - a new light on the influence of alcoholism, overeating, - undereating, and other factors in shortening lives. - - The investigation, which has just been completed, concerned - the causes of premature deaths in the last 25 years among - the 2,000,000 policy holders of 43 leading insurance - companies. The object of the investigation was to determine - which types of persons could be insured safely at regular - rates, which ones should pay extra premiums, and which ones - should be refused. The results were given by Arthur Hunter, - chairman of the bureau that made the investigation. - - "If the Government of Russia carries out its present - intention to abolish permanently all forms of alcoholic - beverages, the saving in human life will be enormous," said - Mr. Hunter. "The loss of 500,000 men as the result of the - present warfare could be made good in less than ten years - through complete abstinence from alcoholic beverages by all - the inhabitants of Russia. - - "Among saloon proprietors, whether they attended the bar - or not, there was an extra mortality of 70 per cent., and - the causes of death indicated that a free use of alcoholic - beverages had caused many of the deaths. The hotel - proprietors who attended the bar, either occasionally or - regularly, had as high a mortality as the saloon keepers. - - "Among the men who admitted that they had taken alcohol - occasionally to excess in the past, but whose habits were - considered satisfactory when they were insured, there were - 289 deaths, while there would have been only 190 deaths had - this group been made up of insured lives in general. The - extra mortality was, therefore, over 50 per cent." - -Cardinal Gibbons says: "Reform must come from within," and he opposes -prohibition; but there is no question but what prohibition is the -right thing as has been proved, for in some persons the only thing -"within" is alcohol and ignorance. - -SOCIETY is about our only hope. Lord Bacon wrote the first half of -a book on this subject of an ideal society or community, and he -described as a first requisite his "SOLOMON'S HOUSE," a college or -school where NATURAL SCIENCE was taught. - -Thomas More portrayed the same ideas in his "UTOPIA," a beautiful -island where ideal laws and conditions prevailed. Campanella also had -an idea in his "CITY OF THE SUN." - -Where temptation is removed better conditions exist, for human nature -always wavers and no one is permanently wise. The lad in the country -is healthier than the one in the city. Why? Because there are less -temptations in the country. - -What is it that perfects animals but forcing proper rules upon them? - -I have experimented with fowl and found that you can perfect them by -proper treatment. I raised 56 pullets one spring, and that winter I -had eggs galore. The fowl were healthy and happy. I fed them only two -meals a day on cracked corn and wheat or the regular "scratch feed" -of the market in the morning, and at night gave them scalded meal, -seasoned with some salt, pepper and onions; sometimes cooked potato -parings, etc., were used. I supplied the fowl with fresh ground bone -which held some fat, of course. I always had gravel and ground oyster -shells before them, also plenty of fresh water. They had their run and -found grass both in summer and winter, and had a dry, roomy house. - -Meat is not only unnecessary to animal life, but is injurious. My -hens laid more eggs than any others about and were bright, active and -healthy, yet they had no meat during all the winter. The bone was not -necessary, for I had at times fed poultry a little fat or oil instead -of the ground bone, and they did just as well. - -The mind has a great effect on the digestion, and it is necessary in -selecting our food and drink to have it agreeable. Of course, this -does not mean that because something tastes good we should use it, for -poisons often taste pleasant. We mean that from a variety of salutary -food we should select what we like, and again any combination, -adjustment or preparation which enhances the food is very useful. For -instance: - -Potatoes mashed, mixed with eggs, flour, pepper and salt and other -articles which are not injurious, and then fried in a little butter -are very agreeable, and many such manipulations of foods are wise. - -But spices, coffee, tea and such condiments contain tannin and poisons -and should be eschewed. - -If a person should suddenly change his diet from a liberal one to -mush and skim-milk it might give him indigestion and disgust, for the -organs try to adapt themselves to certain kinds of food; and if the -persons cannot take a vacation while reforming their diet, it might -be better to wait until they can. After a fit of sickness one can -start with the right kind of food and drink and improve by it. - -People who are raised on simple food relish it and keep happy and -healthy. Here is a reprint which proves this to be true: - - "According to census reports, persons who live 100 years - or more are very scarce. The United States, with a - population of more than 90,000,000, is given credit for - only 46. Germany's population is 60,000,000 and its quota - of centenarians is 70. Great Britain, with a population of - 46,000,000, has 94. France, with 40,000,000, claims 164. - Bulgaria, with 4,000,000 inhabitants, boasts of 3,300, and - Roumania, with 6,000,000 people, has 3,320 centenarians. The - last named little countries eat little meat and use a great - deal of milk and dark bread." - -The persons who used tobacco, etc., and lived to be old might have -lived much longer if they had been abstemious. William Smellie in -his "Philosophy of Natural History" records cases where persons have -lived to be over 150 years old, and some of the oldest people, for -instance, Capt. Diamond, was a simple living man and lived to be 113 -(when I last heard from him). He never even used sugar and was an old -bachelor, showing that simple life allows continence. - -It has been proved that meat allows an alkaloid condition in the -intestines which generates poison producing germs, while vegetable -food, like oat-meal, etc., produces an acid condition which, it is -claimed, "prevents the generation of microbes and poisons which -produce premature old age." The large intestine when retaining the -elements from the bowels too long becomes a "filth reservoir." - -Prof. Metchnikoff says that animals having a greater length to the -large intestines do not live as long as those with shorter large -intestines, which cannot breed the poisonous bacteria so well, yet he -is puzzled by the long life proportionately of the squirrel, which -has a long intestine, and he says he has found few of the "dreaded -bacteria" in the intestine of the squirrel. (This is because the -squirrel has not the noisome elements here which harbor germs.) - -The recent discoveries that VEGETABLE food inhibits the generation -of the microbes or renders them unnecessary is an object lesson which -tells us to live upon the foods as I recommend, for the squirrel lives -upon vegetable food or nuts, which are seeds with Vaco-Cell forming -molecules. - -We need not discard the use of a few condiments of a mild nature -from our food, and a little salt, pepper or onion, etc., may not be -prohibited. - -It has been found that a good regime is made up of a breakfast of -skim-milk and well cooked oat-meal; a dinner of boiled potatoes, eggs -or fish and boiled rice and skim-milk, and a supper of skim-milk, rice -and perhaps boiled beans. If you are not a hard worker you should not -use too many beans or any excess of proteid foods, and a few boiled -onions, etc., may be added to the dinner if desired. A little butter -may be used with food if skim-milk is used, but the use of an excess -of rich milk loads the blood with too much grease. - -The outside hull of grains, beans, peas, etc., contain cellulin, -an indigestible woody fibre which acts as a mechanical laxative to -the bowels and aids health if you can use coarse food. Of course, -invalids could not always use such food, as their stomach can hardly -digest milk or eggs. Fruit and acids should not be used as foods by -invalids. - -The germ of grain and seeds in general is a great nerve food or "spark -generator," but as it is highly organized it changes easily and so is -not used in fine flour. - -My theory is that the whole universe is interdependent and that there -can be no separation of its component parts. We and all things are -joined together the same as a knitted sock--joined by invisible lines -of force; and as all matter is simply a peculiar aspect or motion of -spirit or the ether, and as no part of the ether can be separated or -absolutely isolated, it is an axiom that the universe is ONE. Nothing -can be moved except there is a fulcrum. It may be infinitesimal or -like an isthmus though. - -The great scientists are now admitting this to be a fact. Prof. Edgar -Lucien Larkin says: "In the ultimate, what distinction can be drawn -between organic and inorganic matter, since mind is matter or force? -Therefore, is it not but matter or force under a different aspect or -relation to surrounding appearances, or, in other words, are not all -things a unit?" - -This scientist further says: "The ultimate distinction between -inorganic and organic matter is the inscrutable mystery." And here is -where I am able to explain this GREAT MYSTERY. - -LIFE is spirit and I have discovered a process in Nature, which we -explain in other works more extensively, by which she forms invisible -"VACUUM CELLS" in matter, which are conscious and with a potential -of radio-activity, and this is the principle of all life and form in -organic bodies and in the snow-flake, etc. The process is simple and -is from alternations of heat and cold. - -In the bioplasmic foods of nature the germ of seeds, for instance, -we find a peculiar arrangement of the molecules. They contain a cell -center of SOLUBLE SULPHUR, SILICON OR PHOSPHORUS. This arrangement -facilitates the formation of the white spark, and the formation of -this wonderful food in plants depends upon the soil. - -Alkali, and carbonic acid gas, in the nascent state, makes SULPHUR, -SILICON, Phosphorus and IRON soluble. I have evaporated five gallons -of spring water and obtained the solid residue and found out the -wonderful nature of the cell center elements. These minerals are -hydrated and at a temperature of 100 degrees they are liquids, and -at 50 degrees they are solids. This explains the reason why certain -proteid foods are "bioplasmic" and how easily the white sparks are -generated in the nerves and brain. The bodily or tissue temperature -when life is active is 100 degrees and the oxygenized blood and -evaporation from the lungs and skin reduces the temperature of the -molecules to 50 and the life vacuo are formed. Oxygenized blood cells -are discs rotating on an axis like an alkali. - -I have in other publications explained that meat was a second-hand -food, in which many life molecules were exploded (gelatine), and that -the proteid portions of milk, eggs and vegetable foods contained -"CARTRIDGES OF LIFE AND POWER," that is, molecules having sulphur or -phosphorus centers which under proper conditions formed VACO-CELLS, -especially the germ of all seeds which is absent in fine flour -usually. - -I discovered the paradox of temperatures by accident. I had been in -correspondence with Sir William Crookes, President of the British -Association for the Advancement of Science in England, and in -connection with a scientific matter he had advised me to evaporate the -water of a certain Spring, and it was in following out his directions -that I found "THE CENTER FORMING MOLECULAR ELEMENTS," which nature -uses in forming foods. - -There have been many changes in the ideas of scientists within a few -years. Several years ago I was taken to task for stating that the -wave lengths of a line of force could be shortened or increased by -the nature of the substance which it passed through, but one of the -Great Professors--Garrett P. Serviss--has just stated: "So the waves -of radiant energy sent out from the sun are not heat, but have been -set going by heat in the sun and CAN BE TRANSFORMED into heat again on -encountering the earth." - -Anyone may perform two interesting experiments which prove the -statements which I make in regard to "the white spark." - -When the soldering compound which is sold to fill up holes in -marbleized iron ware is melted and dropped into cold water, peculiar -little bodies are formed--little rubber bags or cells filled with -powdered sulphur at the center; the compound being composed of -sulphur, rubber and quicksilver in this experiment follows the natural -laws, and the opposite features of heat conduction causes the sulphur -to be encased with the more organic rubber. - -The other experiment is dropping melted tinsmith's solder into water -at a temperature of 75 degrees when hollow balls are formed, if care -is taken in dropping the metal in a globule. - -The great provisions of Nature are so sufficient and magnificent that -it is proved that the worriments of mankind are imaginary, and it is a -fact that they are the result of physical disorders brought about by -improper food, drink and habits. - -When I see the beautiful sunshine pouring life-giving rays upon -everyone and every atom in the world, when I see the grandeur and -stable travel of the bodies of the sidereal system, when I see the -unperturbed growth of the trees, plants and grains, the gentle rain -and the whispering winds, I can say surely the human acts of greed, -malice and crime are the results of a distorted mind. - -Judge Swann says FIFTY per cent. of those who are brought to trial -in the criminal courts of New York City are addicted to the use of -narcotics. - -Judge Collins says that since the "BOYLAN LAW" allows the sale -of medicines containing a certain percentage of narcotics, the -Health Department cannot pass laws restricting such sales without -contradicting the state statutes. - -Coffee, tea and other insidious poisons are agents of the "DEVIL" -also. Chocolate and roasted wheat, peanuts, etc., are poisonous. -Roasting often creates empyrean oil. - -It is the ascetics or those who live upon vegetable foods, milk and -eggs with some fish, or those who do not overeat and live the "SIMPLE -LIFE," who look upon the grandeur of Nature properly and ignore the -contingencies of life which others commit suicide over or ply the cry -of incongruity in Nature. - -Consider the religious martyrs of the medieval ages and see how the -little "Jap" with his ration of rice went to battle without fear and -endured hardships and put the Russian Army beneath his feet. - -It is the same with the abstemious prize fighter. He has more coolness -and endurance than the beef steak eater and libertine, as proved by -Freddy Welsh, the world's champion lightweight. - -The Harvard Football Squad had a number of men stricken with -appendicitis after training upon a meat diet, supposing that meat was -a requisite to hard work, a fallacy too often disproved. - -Jess Willard, the world's champion pugilist, says he never smoked nor -drank liquor in his life, and at the end of the battle with Johnson he -felt as if he could fight "a thousand rounds." - -We all wish PEACE, HAPPINESS, HEALTH, STRENGTH and SUCCESS. The only -differences between us are HOW TO OBTAIN THESE DESIRES, and yet a -little candid observation will show us the truth. - -The first transaction must be a determination and an agreement to -become independent of all other codes and methods except those by -which the above objects can be attained. - -There are many habits which appeal to us as being a means of personal -well being, and yet they are insidious enemies. - -It is the regime which has a reaction for our health and happiness -which we should follow, and we must have sense enough to eschew the -methods which are sure to bring a subsequent disaster to us, even if -they may induce a temporary pleasure, for there can be but one correct -path which leads to elysian joys. - -Nature is wiser than we are and we must not set ourselves up as her -superiors, for if we do we are sure to fall. We must not make use -of her productions until she has finished them, and we must not -use things for food or drink which she has arranged for some other -purpose. Sugar is an unfinished product of nature, and leaves, barks, -etc., containing poisons are not intended for our consumption, and we -should not breathe smoke into our lungs when it is intended that only -pure air should pass into them. - -We should not entertain passion for passion's sake when it was -intended only for reproduction. Secretions in ductless and sac filling -glands are for reabsorption. If I take the finished products of nature -and undo them again, I am as unwise as if I used them before nature -finished them. The breweries take the beautiful grains and degenerate -them and people use the liquid poisons and do not realize that they -are insulting nature and ruining themselves. We take grains, etc., and -roast or burn them into poisons and seduce ourselves with the mistaken -idea that we are using harmless and innocent food or drink. - -We steal the property of others, we extort from them, we are jealous -of them with the delusion that we are the benefitted parties, but -nothing is more untrue than this idea. - -All of the mental, social and physical effects of greed, malice and -immorality are indelibly disastrous to us, and we have a mistaken idea -of our needs and of the things which make happiness. - - - - -What the European War Has Demonstrated. - - -We have previously stated that FOUR HOURS labor per day was enough for -any one, and this would carry on the world's industry adequately and -to prove this we give an excerpt from an article by the great English -Divine--Rev. R. J. Campbell, his statistics prove that POVERTY IS -UNNECESSARY and that wage earners can be paid enough to buy what they -wish to make happiness--, pianos and other so-called luxuries, and -automobiles could of course be substituted for pianos if their desires -should require such. - -At the present price of automobiles they are within reach of the man -who will give up drinking and using tobacco or other narcotics and I -want to say that I believe riding in one of the new type steel bodied -automobiles with a magneto ignition is a great health augmenter as -these cars when running become charged with electricity and I quite -often get a shock from one of my automobiles if I happen to touch part -of my hand to the body of the car while the other part has hold of -the side shift lever. This statical electricity has been proved by -Dr. W. J. Morton, of New York City, to be a wonderful therapeutical -agency. When properly supplied to the body it causes the blood discs -to take up more oxygen from the air and augments the power of the -vital apparatus. (See his address published in the November, 1893, -Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers.) - -Riding in a carriage or car will aid the circulation of the body -fluids without waste of our own energy, the motions massage the body, -the same as muscular action. - -Work is a benefit to us but how much do we need is a question,--a -sick person can not work and a person's training and condition must -regulate this,--too much work draws the vital force from the vital -organs and mental work is absolutely injurious in sickness, the brain -draws on the vitality to the detriment of the vital organs of the -body, yet again the cultivated mind has a power to govern the base -faculties which debilitate the body. - - -Part of the English Divine's Article Which We Have Referred to: - - "One of the strangest paradoxes about this period of - destructiveness through which we are passing is that there - is very little dire poverty about. It has taught me a - lesson, a lesson which probably the workers as a class - are assimilating too, namely, that destitution and the - degradation which so generously accompanies it =could be - got rid of in a month= in time of peace if we were only - in earnest to do it. - - "It is caused simply by an unfair distribution of wealth. We - always knew that, but what we did not know was that it could - be so speedily remedied. We thought it would take a long time - even if the nation were willing to tackle the problem - seriously, which it has not yet shown any anxiety to do. We - were afraid of drastic experiments of a social nature, with - the consequent displacement of capital, the shock given to - that very delicate entity, the national credit, and so on. - - "Go more slowly, was the universal cry. Give us breathing - space. These drastic changes one after the other--all in - the direction of making the rich pay more into the pockets - of the poor--are very dangerous. You are impairing public - confidence; do wait awhile before you attempt anything - further. You are imposing a tax on industry which is certain - to hinder productiveness. - - "And we were wrong, the whole lot of us--Kaiser, German - Bureau, British Tories, hesitant Liberals, landowners, - bankers, manufacturers, shopkeepers, taxpayers generally, - and probably the proletariat, too. It is nothing short of - amazing. Here we are hurling our accumulated stores of - wealth into hell, the hell of war, and the workers as a - whole were never so well off. - - "We are able to pay, and we do pay, without complaining. - We are doing it without suffering very greatly, without - hearing the cry of hunger going up from our congested areas - as it has too often done in time of peace, and without the - slightest apprehension that we are drawing near to the end - of our strength. - - "We shall be able to go on doing it for years if need be. The - savings of the working classes have hardly yet been touched - for national purposes, and if report speaks true there - has been a not too creditable increase in the purchase of - cheap luxuries--and luxuries not commonly accounted cheap, - too, such as pianos--among a section of these, unskilled - laborers especially. They are not unpatriotic, but is it to - be wondered at that they should suddenly feel themselves - well-to-do and fail to realize that war is economic wastage - as well as wholesale murder? - - "'Three pounds a week, and no 'usband!' a lady engaged in - munition work is credited with saying--'Wy, it's 'eaven!' - There is humor in the sentiment, one must confess, though it - was not complimentary to the absent husband. - - "We have withdrawn not less than four million men from - productive occupations and set them to smash and kill - instead. - - "Think of it! And then remember that those men have to be - equipped and maintained somehow or other by the rest of us, - and that most of them are the very pick of the country's - early manhood. And we can afford to do it! We can do it, and - in the process make an end of destitution for the time being - and secure to wage-earners a higher standard of comfort - than they have ever enjoyed before. - - "Will the electors of Great Britain, rich and poor, try to - digest that fact and grasp its implications? The logic of it - is that we can if and when we choose get rid forever of the - crying disgrace of starvation and misery at one end of the - social scale and senseless ostentation at the other. - - "The thing is demonstrated now. - - "The army as it exists to-day is a fine all-around leveller. - A good many artificial prejudices and social distinctions - are being swept away by the power of actual daily - comradeship in the face of death. These four million citizen - soldiers have votes. How will they use them when they come - home? - - "Let the lesson be driven well home. We can do all that is - required if we want to do it. Behold the economic miracle of - to-day, and consider what is possible to-morrow. There need - never be another hungry mouth. No honest man ought to have - to dread the loss of a job or to lower his self-respect by - seeking the aid of the Poor law. - - "It is all nonsense to say that the problem of destitution - is unsolvable or that our resources will not bear the - institution of a standard living wage for everybody and not - for the aristocracy of labor only. - - "After the debacle of 1871 France was apparently ground - to powder, her manhood decimated, her trade ruined, her - treasury empty, and an enormous indemnity to pay to her - triumphant foe. She recovered so quickly and completely, to - the surprise of everybody, that in 1875 Bismarck, like the - bully he was, wanted to hit her again, and would have done - so but for Queen Victoria and the British Government." - -I have shown how to rise above poverty even when the capitalists grind -the worker down to a wage inadequate to his service, yet this is not a -just condition, and when the war in Europe is over many workers will -be back to their countries, to work. There may be lack of employment -then, but let the FOUR HOURS per day schedule be put in operation and -let the pay be proper and all will be well. - -Let the capitalist adjust himself to the fact that the worker is HIS -BROTHER and that THEOCRATIC DEMOCRACY is God's Law. - -The air, the water and all necessities are one man's as much as -another's. - -The Kaiser, King George or the President of France must drink the same -water which his lowly brother has once drank and breathe the same air -which he has breathed. - -A King has water brought to him--it may be that this water,--the very -identical molecules, were once in the blood and body of a lowly tiller -of the soil; he may have drank it, excreted it, it went to the river, -to the ocean, then evaporated to the mountain top, and was again -precipitated to the earth and leached into the King's well. - -The VOTERS HAVE THE POWER TO ADJUST THE LAW; if they belie themselves -who is to blame? - -Let them institute the INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM AND THE RECALL OF -JUDGES first, then make the proper laws to raise man to the social -position where he belongs. - -It is well known that much of the poverty and misery of the world has -been caused by ALCOHOL, and the use of narcotics is also not far -behind in the cause of degradation and misery. - -The prohibition laws which have been instituted in Russia prove these -statements to be correct and to show the wonderful prosperity which -ensues from temperance. I give a statement from Russian Minister of -Finance Bark. He says: - - "On the other hand, there is nothing illusory or specious - about the Russians' prosperity. It rests upon the - incontrovertible fact of the Russian people's increased - earnings and savings. - - "When, a year ago, the savings banks showed a monthly - increase of 50,000,000 rubles, it was regarded as - phenomenal. But that was only the beginning. During the - month of January the savings banks alone showed an increase - in deposits of 120,000,000 rubles. This is accounted for - principally by the growing thrift and economy of the - peasants since the enforcement of prohibition, by their - greater earning power and the higher wages they command. - This marvellous prosperity makes Russia capable of raising - large numbers of successful internal loans, and it is by - this means chiefly that we hope to defray the expenses - of the war, which have now reached 1,000,000,000 rubles - monthly." - -Blessings often come to us masquerading as evil; this terrible war has -its benefits. While death must come to everyone sometime, it may be -that we put too much stress on the fact that so many lives have been -sent to the BETTER SHORE within such a short space of time, and it is -best to believe in the axiom THAT WHAT IS--IS RIGHT. - -There probably will never be another war, and perhaps, it must be that -this one is the lever to throw THE "DEVIL" into OBLIVION. - -The Germans have seen the revelations as well as the other -belligerents. Here is what a writer in Berlin says: - - "On Tuesday and Friday there is no meat to be had. On Monday - and Thursday the consumption of fats is forbidden. Some - alcoholic drinks are forbidden to be sold after 9 o'clock at - night. They are mostly liqueurs. - - "The enforced abstinence from meat on two days of the week - has been accepted everywhere with personal satisfaction. - You agree with the German when he tells you that he has - eaten too much meat all his life, and is glad the government - has made him reform. So on these days he eats fish, oysters - and vegetables, and declares he feels the better for it." - -This item from Augustus Baech is illuminating and instructive. Grease -is not a colloid; it does not absorb the gastric juice like a better -organized element, and thus the stomach is irritated. There is a law -of Nature by which the molecules affect matter; crystalline substances -in solution are readily drawn into colloids. A system of symbols -helps understanding in the matter--let us represent an acid by a -perpendicular line, an alkali by a horizontal line, a crystal by a -pyramid and a colloid by a globule; flat surfaces oppose round ones -and a confusion of straight forces would produce a spiral force. - -There is a great law of HUMAN BROTHERHOOD, yes, more than that--a law -of the brotherhood of all animal life. - -The hatred of the English, Germans and Russians in this flaming war of -passion is wrong--let us remember St. Peter's vision of the basket -let down from heaven with all kinds of men in it. - -The reform of diet and habits will relieve the tension of malice, -hatred and jealousy, the lessened rage of sexual passion will curtail -the undue birth rate, the nations will not need to conquer more -territory and the social conditions will be adjusted. - -How beautiful would it be to see all men living in peace, harmony, -prosperity and happiness. - -Let us regain our reason and settle down to truth and common sense and -have peace and correct understanding between individuals and nations. -IT CAN BE DONE, and THIS WILL BE THE MILLENNIUM. - - - - -Transcriber's Notes - -Minor punctuation typos have been silently corrected. - -Page 7: Possible typo: "differentations" for "differentiations." - (Orig: the differentations and forms in the universe) - -Page 7: Changed "Scientis" to "Scientist." - (Orig: Le Bon the great Scientis,) - -Page 8: Changed "conciousness" to "consciousness." - (Orig: each spark has a quiet center or conciousness) - -Page 47: Changed "miscrocope" to "microscope." - (Orig: as no miscrocope has ever detected) - -Page 65: Changed "CARTIRDGES" to "CARTRIDGES." - (Orig: vegetable foods contained "CARTIRDGES OF LIFE AND POWER,") - -Page 74: Changed "debiliate" to "debilitate." - (Orig: base faculties which debiliate the body.) - -Page 82: Changed "axion" to "axiom." - (Orig: believe in the axion THAT WHAT IS--IS RIGHT.) - - - - - - - - -End of Project Gutenberg's The White Spark, by Orville Livingston Leach - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE WHITE SPARK *** - -***** This file should be named 44016-8.txt or 44016-8.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/4/4/0/1/44016/ - -Produced by Diane Monico and The Online Distributed -Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was -produced from images generously made available by The -Internet Archive) - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions -will be renamed. - -Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no -one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation -(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without -permission and without paying copyright royalties.
