THE INNER LIFE.

How unreal seems the existence of the inner life! How vain our intent
to catch its meaning, and portray its deepest lessons, and yet, it is
the reality. It forms the center around which all external life
revolves, from which all outward being receives its vitality and
assurance of existence. The passive soul heeds not the ever-recurring
changes which its very continued life indicates, and will, when
unveiled by the transforming hand of death, wonder at its wealth of
life. The conscious being, ever alert, notes the changes and the
indications of ever-progressing life with delight, and awe, and a
profound recognition of the law of its being which sets the star of its
existence higher and higher in the heavens, and lures it on for its own
perfection even unto the perfect day. To such a soul there is little
peace, or rest by the way; but it may finally learn a godlike heroism
and patience which will enable it to trace its steps, and see in all
its life's experiences a sequence which is divine and beneficent.

Power is silent; power does not fume and bluster. It holds firmly and
steadily on its way, and wins by force of its resistless and relentless
sway.

ROOT OF EVILS.

The most unaccountable phase of philanthropic effort put forth by good
people for the help of humanity is their utter failure to apply their
remedial suggestions, or helpful agencies to the real roots, or causes,
of great matters needing attention. Everything is approached and dealt
with entirely from the external. Either from ignorance or fear of the
probable results to be met with upon close inspection, the beginnings,
the real causes of evil doings are let alone to grow until they become
unbearable. Then comes the "hue and cry" joined in by all who seek to
have wrongs righted.

Such has been, and is the "white slave evil." Ignorance is the cause
of all evil; but the special cause of this great, terrible, devastating
wrong starts with the utter lack of the education of children by their
parents, especially of the necessary instruction of girls regarding
their own natural functions, and their relationship to men. The most
vitally important knowledge that can ever be theirs is left entirely
out of their home education, and the
