here, scattered along
throughout the realms of intelligent being, there have always been
noble and true men and women who have brought a sufficient
comprehension of the out-working of the eternal principles of
unswerving moral law to make their conduct of life here wise and
dependable, and to give to them the assurance of a successful
continuance of individual life in other spheres of being, beyond
earthly limitations. Those untrammelled souls who thus unfold grow up
into an at-one-ment with the divine, all-pervading principle we call
God. They have been, and are light bringers, and saviors of humanity.

The perfection of individual character can only be achieved by
determined effort, by unshrinking, concentrated labor. This simply
means an acceptance of all the inevitable experiences incident to this
life, coupled with a brave determination to wring from each and every

it is often unrecognized by those who have the most inclusive
development of the attributes and innate resources of their own souls.

by various kinds of religious teachers, rulers, and self-appointed
judges. Man-made laws which everywhere prevail tend always to
segregate people into classes, producing results devoid of equity,
favoring the materially superior. It is quite common for people who
know nothing whatever of the operations of occult and spiritual law to
ignore all responsibility for their unhappy earthly experiences, and
"blame it all" on God. A child dies, the mother accuses God of making
her the special subject of his unkindness in taking away from her the
object of her love. Everywhere, among all classes of people this is
not at all an unusual experience. The fact is, the prevailing
ignorance of natural law--moral, spiritual law--is alone the cause of
nearly all the misery of humanity. God has nothing whatever to do with
it. There is this about it: there are the "eternal ve
