es as old as the race itself, that have ever kept the
peoples of the earth apart.

There is but one law of evolution, and that which holds for the
individual epitomizes that of a nation, or a world. So as we see
people at a certain stage of their unfoldment of individuality exhibit
an extreme egotism, amounting almost to an insanity, by isolating them,
by confining them to the radius of their own mentality, so it is with
the different tribes and races and nations of the world. They are set
apart to grow their own peculiar traits of character, possible only to
their prescribed environment, that they may thus push forward their own
special gifts and endowments to their own ultimates. This is but a
phase of their evolutionary process, a class preparation looking toward
a wider experience, wherein it shall come to be seen that all the world
is akin. Referring again to the unit man. The shibboleth of the just
present past time has been individualism which, rightly understood,
means simply that the soul of man has progressed to a point where
occult forces can lay hold on the crude being and shape it into a
worthy likeness of its divine Maker, and it must there stand alone,
until it feels its at-one-ment with the Divine and sees and
acknowledges the higher law and purpose of its being, and furthermore
recognizes why it has been called into existence.

Truth is like certain chemicals. It can only be retained by the mind
wherein it finds an adapted affinity, and then it has in each a
distinctly individual expression according to the mental and moral
status of that mind. But laws and principles are stationary and
unchangeable; it is our own personal knowledge which varies and changes
with our growth. We may ignore and denounce certain phases of
phenomena, but the phenomena work on just the same, unaffected by our
beliefs or disbeliefs. The loss is ours if we willfully close our eyes
and ears against the enlightening message which it would bring to us in
passing our way.

CHRISTS.

Confucius, the moralist, Buddha, the intellectualist, Jesus, the
loving. Why reject the teachings of any one of this trinity of
inspired and inspiring ones? All are of God, light bringers to a
darkened world.

HERO WORSHIP.

All along the individual life, the soul's development through matter,
are strewn experiences which mark the dawning force which is finally to
culminate in its marked individuality, and separation from
