IMMORTALITY
And The Testimony Of Saints.^^ ‘ When born, I died; and when I die , I shall be born— born out of this death-land of darkness, into the realm of real l i f e . ,«••• ( P i l g r i m .)
A s the physical birth of the infant is death to the placenta-envelope, so birth into spirit-life involves the death and dis-integration of the phy sical casket. And while this latter process is as natural as beautiful, it, implies no disorganization of the spiritual body— no cessation of - conscious existence.
Duality of being extends to human conscious ness. The inner consciousness— related to the In finite Consciousness of the universe, God— is neve»
s e l f - c u l t u r e 2 for a moment suspended. And just prior to, and during the change called dying, it often flames up the brightest.
" I f I had strength enough to hold a pen," said the eminent William Hunter, " I would write how easy and delightful it is to die.”
That able jurist, the late Judge Edmonds of New York, related to me the following of his Quaker friend, Isaac T. Hooper: " I was with him a good deal before he died. One day I left his residence about 4 o* clock; he was exceedingly feeble, but I thought he might survive several days, perhaps weeks. It was our regular seance eve- ning, and at 8 o’ clock we met to hold a circle. My daughter’s hand was soon influenced, writing this: •lam in the spirit-world. I. T. H.*”
"Who is that?" inquired a gentleman present. " I t is the initials," replied the judge" of Isaac
T. Hopper; but it cannot be possible, as I left his house a few hours since, thinking he might survive several days or weeks."
- The judge, throwing on his cloak, hastened to his Quaker friend’s residence, when there lay* the corpse, and the friends standing by weeping. Returning and re-forming the circle, the same hand was controlled to write:
" I am in the spirit world; and I now under-
SELF-CULTURE 3
stand what the apostle meant when he said we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. I have not slept—-I have not been unconscious for a mo ment; but I have been changed— changing my mortal for my spiritual body— earth for heaven—I am happy beyond expression.”
In natural death, the process is gradual. The extremities first grow chilly; then the feet become cold; and then, the. hands and arms, to the shoul ders. The pulse continues to beat more feeble— the blood purples under the nails—the eye becomes dim, and the breathing m ore. difficult, while ia silvery aural emanation, rising mist-like from, gathers gently around and. over the tremu lous body. Spirit friends have already come to attend this higher birth. Often they bring gar ments white and glistening. The atmosphere, is filled with electric particles bright and silvery. The moment of transition approaches. The still ness fpl holy and heavenly. Only friends,s calm and loving, should be present. And now—now a slight tremor, and that ethereal life-thread, the silver cord, is severed, and the|kpiritual body is
, released from the physical tenement; something as the full-blown rose is unrolled out from the rose bud and plucked from the parent stem.
Many of the greatest and most gifted souls of earth were endowed with spiritual gifts. So crates, Plato, Proclus, John the Apostle, Cicero,
4 SELF-CULTURE
Plutarch, Tertullian, Bacon, Louis XVI., Baxter Cowper, Glanville, Swedenborg, Joan of Arc, Ann Lee, George Fox, Johnson, Lessing, Goethe, Ker- ner, Wesley,—these, and others, had visions of Heaven, visions of angels, visions of immortality!
How sweet this old hymn:“ We’re going home! we’ve had visions bright Of that holy land, the world of light,When the long dark night of time js past, , And the morn of eternity dawns at last; Where the weary soul no more shall roam. ' But dwell in a happy, peaceful home;Where the brow with sparkling gems is crowned,
, And the waves of bliss are flowing around; - Oh, that beautiful homel that beautiful world!vSpiritualism is not only a science and a phi
losophy, but in its highest definition It is a reli gion—a rational religion, harmonizing perfectly with the sublime teachings of the New Testament.

Golden Text_“ Prepare ye the way of theLord, make His paths straight.-*
John the Baptist came baptizing with water. Water is the symbol of Mind.
SELF-CULTURE 5
He was, therefore, the forerunner of the Christ, because the Mind is the Builder of the Soul—the finder of the Christ.
“ Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight." Mind is the builder of the Soul and prepares it for the conception or reception o f the Christ. John here warns them to make “ the paths straight." Only straight, sincere, pure thoughts can make straight paths, and these are the only paths for the Lord, or Christ.
“ Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.", His was the voice of one crying in the wild
erness— in the wilderness of error and illusions and wrong thinking, living, and teaching.
There was very little difference in the accepted teachings of those days and now.
The Pharisees were great spiritualists, and produced phenomena to even greater extent than it is produced at this day. They built the temples and synagogues, and they worshipped where they might be seen and heard. They made all their religious worship a great show and with many ceremonies. They were very orthodox, and the or thodox religion of to-day is almost identical with the Pharisees. They believed in the pre-existence and immortality of the soul. They adhered strictly
6 SELF-CULTUREto the “ traditions of the elders, ” and held to the literal interpretation of the I,aw of Moses, just as all orthodox do to-day.
There were many sects, divided, contending, Striving more for material gains and self-glory and self-righteousness than anything else.
All classed as a whole were as they are to-dayl those who had wandered away from the TRUTJ teachings of the Anciendra who did not live the Truth and knew it not. They were as much divi ded and antagonistic as are the many of to-day.- Many of these came to John, attracted by his
teachings. They knew the law of phenomena, and were of negative natures, yet they came to an ac knowledgment of the power of the mind, and ac cepted It.
This water baptism taught by John is the Baptism of Mind.
Mind or Mental Healing, ha£ accomplished wonders in this age. It has attracted all sects and all 'people. Yet John admitted a greater teacher was to come.
B ' l indeed baptize you with water unto repen tance; but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with Fire.
SELF-CULTURE 7With the Mind we repent. Repentance means
the turning away. We do not repent of an evil deed until we FORSAKE IT — TURN AW AY FROM IT. I f we commit a wicked act, and are sorry for a time, but do the same thing or some thing equally as bad we have not REPENTED.
We cannot attain purity, and goodness, and Truth until we do repent—TURN A W A Y FROM 13V IL. If we repent of an evil thought, we stop thinking it. . . .
Stop thinking it, an<jl it w ill stop coming. It never lingers or locates where i t is not welcome. As long as you hold an unkind, selfish, angry, envious, evil thought, you have made it welcome.
It cannot enter where it is refused. Where the DOOR IS CLOSED. The way to repent, therefore, is to refuse to think wrongly. Just as John ^warned' the Pharisees and Sadduces: “ Bring forth, therefore, fruits meet for repentance.”
* V: 1" And . TH IN K *' NOT TO SA Y W ITHIN YOURSELVES we have Abraham to our f '‘ ' This means that they cannot repent and st 11 follow the same old, uninterrupted, literal meaning of the law; for the teachings of Abraham had be come si symbol worship in the flesh. I f they re pented, they must forsake it.
They must forsake it if they brought forth fruit.
SELF-CULTURE
Good deeds are fruits. Good thoughts produce ' good deeds, and are reH n eH by the Soul.
The Holy Ghost and l^ M pomes after repen- tence and turningjiOF THE MIND away from the material laws of the flesh— or the Law of Abraham*
The Holy Ghost and Fire Baptism is greater than ’ Mind or' Water,’ becaus^Mt’ is. of the Soul. The Soul is the LIFE : o f man. It H 1' that part o f man that L I V E S . " 1 • " ' • “
This Baptism of the Christ or Soul gathers the wheat— whrch||& goodness and Truth— into the garner, and burns up the chaff— evil.
: -Jesus- came to John to be baptised by him. John is doubtful here of his oWn teachings. Though Jesus knew all that John taught, yet he also knew that? 'lovfe, and harmony/ and co-operation o f all m a te ® laws gave greater strength and power to them hath’. ‘
. Jeshs said :’ “ Suffer it to be so now; for thus it hcom eth us to fulfil all righteousness.” John could^ ^ ^ ‘ have known him had he refused to have acknowledged him.
“ ^.n action is neither good nor bad, i f it is committed without attraction. Such' action, being equivalent to the action <of an inanimate being, is not subject to Moral Law. It is the corner stone o f the highest Raja Y o g a .”

( Continued from the last issue. )Now then, the food that you take should not
Only be wholesome, well cooked and nutritive, but it should also be digested properly in order that the blood may get all the nutriment from it. Many of us neglect to chew our food properly before swallowing it. Chewing o f the food cons titutes the first process in its digestion and &
, neglect of this means an extra work for the sto mach. This should be avoided. Never be hasty
»4 n taking your meals. It Is a good plan to free your mind from all cares and worry for about 15 minutes at least, before you sit down at your table; remain so during your meal and for another
115 minutes after it. This ensures a good diges tion. A little exercise taken just before meals is an excellent appetizer. I generally rub my pony or swing my arms round a few times. I hav* found this of great value in giving me an excel
le n t appetite.Avoid abnormal use of condiments, pickles,
Sugar etc and always remember that you eat to , live and not live to eat. Tea and Coffee should
be avoided as much as possible. They are not

foods. They do not in the least help to strengthen onr body and an excess in their use is apt to do mischief.
Arid lastly, but not the least in importance is the necessity for strict avoidance of alcohol in any form. Alcohol can never be classified amongst the food of man. It never supplies the matter for construction nor does it replace the waste. Some take their daily dose in the belief and under the pretext that it is doing them good. There never was a greater mistake made than this. It Is never a natural food and its use produces
' evils of disease in the body and above all dulls the brain and corrupts the mind. Had I space and time I would write at length regarding the evils resulting from the consumption of alcohol. However all I need say is avoid alcohol and you will be the better for. it, physi9allyf. mentally and.
morally. t r; . * .. ./* * ( V<i>,There is another thing that, .though not con
sumed as. food, deserves mention here. I refer to the use of Cigarettes. I mention only cigarettes, because, in my opinion . tobacco used in other forms such as cigars, chewing etc does not pro duce much harm, at least not as much as the
^use of cigarettes does. By all. means avoid them if you don't care for them. But if smoking a

DEPARTMENT OF VEDANTA.{Continued from the last issue)
Union with God is the goal of life, and the consciousness of man’s oneness with God is the highest bliss that man can enjoy, and is the highest destiny that awaits mankind. A need felt for that highest bliss, an earnest and intense longing to reach the highest state, a craving proceeding from the depths o the heart and compelling the entire man to devote himself to that one grand purpose- this is the need fe1t by man when he shakes off the drowsiness and +-ie falsp sense of security that he has been called into by the subtle influence of tnaya, and awakens, as the lordly lion from his sleep, to the stern and heart-rending realities in the dreamy life before him on the one side, and on the other side to the faintly glimmering yet wonderfully inspiring inner consciousness higher and divine— the point of contact between man and God. True religion begins with this need. I* is the only safest need.that man can supply to him self, for in supplying it he fulfils the purpose of the whole creation, the purpose of God, and the purpose of his life.
For what is the goal o f life? Whither moves this wonderful creation? Tennyson says that jjj§|ere is “ one Law*...... one fa off divine element to which

Thus jt has been going on for millions and millions of years, and man has come into being—the perfect being that nature can create and a being that is en lowed with in-finite possibilites. A. Dravidlan saint said, “ Rare, rare is it to become man.” God “made man in His own image— says the Bible. ‘N othing is nearer to God than man. „r k
Yet nothing can make itself more distant than .man;- for in the, usual course of evolution, as beings rise higher and higher, the infinite God that exists potentially -jvithin expresses* Himself > more and more freely- ascircum stances permit, and in man who is destined to be a free being .tries- to 'express Himself to the utmost; but alasJ £nan forgets the infinite, responsibilities that surely attend the infinite possibilites, , and setting at nought reason and intuition by perverting the one and blinding the other, uses his powers according to the dictates of his brutal instincts, and by his

persist in growing. • The sun shines upon the plant and animal, when young and vigorous, gives them life and strength, and makes them grow; but let them become old, infirm and destitute of vital energy and life; the same sun quickens the destruction of their parts and the decomposition ,of the tissues. This applies to man forcibly, ••Whosoever hath, to him .shall be given, and he shall have abundant; but whosoever hath not, front him shall.be taken away even that which he hath.** In the Supreme struggle for Higher life and in the evolution of perfect divine God from an im perfect animal man, the fittest alone survive and the struggle becomes keener among the human beings than among other beings; for while benign nature supplies the necessities of less developed beings in so many ways, man, owing to his Su perior endowments and the divine faculties which be is gifted with, has to make a right or wrong choice and welcome the fruits of such choice. Considered mentally, man is placed in the midst of an “ ocean of mentative energy ” which is ready to be disposed of.

A business man’s success depends as much, or more on his knew ledg1: of human n ^ tre and cha
racter as on his experience and judgment of the
goods he - sells, or the materials with which he
has to do.
One of the main objects in apprenticing child ren is to enable them to gain a knowledge of the people they have to deal with. The apprentice serves his time chiefly to learn from what firms lie can htiy, or with whom he can deal with the best advantage, and to know what he can sell best amongst the class of people for whom he lias to cater. W hat is more essential to this class
of business people than a knowledge of character.
It would not take long generally to judge of tht
qualities and value of clothes, or other materials
but the essential th in g is to know what to ge
or stock according to the character and requu
ments of customers and how best to present it

Wrath's lurid lightnings ronnd about him play, And hell’s deep thunders roll about his head; Yet heeds he not, for him they cannot slay Who stands whence e«rth and time are fled.
Sheltered by deathless lore, what fear hath he? Armoured in changeless Truth, what can he know O f loss and gain?
