The esoteric side of A stral science is p resen ted and it is but inadequately described when we sta te th a t volume 1 in troduces the reader to a new and m arvelous field of thought, broadening and elevating beyond expression.

Also m arvelous inform ation re la tin g to musical tones, color vibrations, th e ir connection w ith P lanetary Action and th e ir w onderful symbolism of Human Progress. G enesis explained and illustrated . T he successive gaseous, vegetable and anim al waves.

VOLUME III.The third volume contains a com plete Astrological D ictionary in addition to '

chap ters on eclipses and th e ir effect in various signs, also the sun and moon, to ­g ether with chap ters on E lection and H orary Astrology, the s tren g th and influence of each planet, the sphere and orbit of each, as well as exam ples for tak ing sidereal time.

P a r t th ree deals with th e p lanetary influences th a t denom inate th e physical form, have only to do with hum an evolution; the soul^s pilgrim age through m a tte r is graphically depicted in language th a t is free from the d ryness of technical term s and aw akens a realization of the Suprem e W isdom from w hich all ex istence flows. Every in te lligen t mind should come in con tac t w ith the v as t field of thought which th is work opens to view.

torical characters almost invariably have one or more of these fixed stars prominent in their charts at time of birth and every vibration created by planet or s ta r is essential to the progress of the human race.

VOLUME V.Volume five. Astro Physiology, a science of the greatest importance to the evo­

lution of humanity from disease and suffering. The celestial influences are no less potent in the a rt of healing than in the art of navigation, in which it is universally known that through heavenly bodies (the sun, moon and stars), the navigator is not alone able to ascertain his whereabouts on the ocean, but the nature of the weather, the tempests, calms and atmospheric changes to which he is to be subjected.

So may the physician evolve from the practice of an art which is at present a mere practice of chance—to a truly scientific system based upon clear first principles which will invariably point to the cause of each malady, to its remedy if there be one, and how to avoid its redevelopment and to maintain good health. It treats of the healing power of Electric, Magnetic, Color and Tone vibrations. No physician can intelligently trea t the ills of human life if he be unacquainted with the science of Astro Physiology.

VOLUME VI.This volume is a continuation of this series, and treats of the significance of

numbers, directions, aspects of planets > the aura of the human body, objective and subjective concentration and many other subjects of interest and vital importance to students of the science of Planetary Influence. This work inspires the mind to seek further knowledge of the laws that govern all life.

Mr. Henry C lay Hodges, the com piler of th is gre~t work, has voiced the inquiries of ages of thoughtful hum anity in the Great Question on the back of this journal.

A Few Opinions of the Press Upon This Great Work.The most comprehensive of all books is the one entitled “Science and Key of

Life,*’ is intensely interesting from cover to cover, requiring but very little applica­tion to fully understand the subject.—The Psychic Era

Henry Clay Hodges, of Detroit, Mich., has been for years making scientific study of electric and magnetic influences as caused by planetary movements and the great laws of attraction and gravitation as operating through interstellar space. The effects of different polarizations of the sun and the moon produce great effects on human life. The art of navigation is closely connected, Mr. Hodges believes, with these influences and currents in aerial space. In a new work called “Science and Key of Life," Mr. Hodges discusses these great laws from both the astronomical and the magnetic side. Electric and magnetic phenomena are shown to be related to sidereal changes. This work is one of remarkable scope and power, on both the scientific and the psychic phases of life and progress.—Lilian Whiting.

This work makes the whole subject clear, puts it in harmony with modern science, illustrates it by profound philosophy and historical examples, and is in accord with all the latest developments of thought and research.—The Occult Truth Seeker.

It is a question if anything on this subject has been written which is as scientific and rational, and on so high a plane as the “Science and Key of Life.”—Chicago Inter-Ocean.

According to Henry Clay Hodges, of Detroit, the influence of the stars is superior to all but the free will of mankind, and an astral chart will enable-its owner to un­fold the power within himself and combat all hostile influences To his mind it is every one’s duty to have his horoscope cast, for the reason that, one’s character is absolutely governed by astral influences, and crises throughout his career occur when the stars that governed his birth come in certain hostile or favorable juxtaposi­tion. “Science and Key of Life” is the title of Mr. Hodges’ book. It represents the study of a long life and is illustrated with numerous horoscopes of famous men, which demonstrate to the satisfaction of the author that the dominant influences of the heavens had more to do with brilliant successes or disgraceful failures than the efforts of the men themselves.—Chicago Record-Herald.

The Aura o f the Human Form.Continued from Pa ye W9 December Stellar liny.

H e n r y C l a y H o d g e s

“ Every human being is surrounded by a force, a vibration, peculiar to that individual alone, that is a luminous mist, called the aura*"

We have considered, in a general way, the five auras that surround the individual, and it is not difficult to realize what a vast field for study and obstrvation this subject affords.

Those who are clear sighted enough to discern these auras can better appreciate the variety of colors that vibrate and go to make up the environment of each aura. Unless the individual is m anifesting in har­mony with his aura, or is surrounded by conditions that harmonize therewith, he will not feel at home and will be out of place.

As time goes on and the spiritual sight becomes more clearly developed, it will then be an easy m atter to know individuals as they really are. and not be confused by the mere objective physical appearances, and those who are willing to live in har­mony with the law and manifest in truth, purity and love, abandon the personal de­sire. with a sincere, earnest aspiration to serve humanity, may realize more of these realities than others who merely live in the shadows and delusions of the m atter world; they will find that the innen> sight will slowly but surely unfold, for it will be found that this spiritual sight is in the ma­jority of instances one of the evidences of the opening of the soul sight, a higher sense of seeing that can be developed by every individual in time as well as that of clairaudience also feeling more than is or­dinarily heard or felt by those in the mortal expression: even those in the spirit must cultivate these qualires if they would rea­lize all that is about them ; it is often the case that a spirit comes to the higher plane with all the spiritual faculties dulled by

his absorbing interest in the affairs of the m atter world, and his position is not one to be envied, though he fails to realize all that he is missing, for his aura-Jias become so dense and colored that naught but imper­fections can enter therein.

It is only as the soul is awakened and the mind commences to think along the lines of spiritual things that the aura begins to clear so that he can perceive what is around and about him. Once this unfold- ment is reached, the rest is not so difficult to attain. It may be well here to mention some of these aura colors and the cause thereof as given astrologically.

In jn stan ces where the colors of the aura are heavy, thick, hlack and lead color, it is an indication of maliciousness and hatred, and denotes that a small amount of the principle* of the vital life forces are being received by the individual. In such instances the ruling planet in the natal chart will be found to receive an affliction from Saturn, and the Sun and Moon are also apt to be found in affliction from the same source. When dark red flashes mani­fest. then anger is shown, the colors becom­ing lighter as anger lessens to indignation, becoming light red in color. In such in­stances Mars will be found near the ascend­ant or afflicting the ruler or Saturn.

W hen a lurid red flame of color mani­fests itself in the aura of the individual, which is quite pronounced, then the animal passions are indicated, and Mars will be found afflicting the first house, or the Moon or Venus will be receiving his male­volent influence. W hen a dark red brown is shown on a dark background then avar­ice, self-desire is dominating, and in the natal figure Mercury or the ruling planet is receiving an affliction from Mars. A dark, livid gray on a dark background shows fear, weakness, low vitality, and in the chart. Saturn and M ars will be found weak and afflicting the ruling planet.

In consideration of the co|ors that are to be found in the environments of differ-

T H E S T E L L A R R A Y . 4 -9 7

ent individuals in harmony with the plane­tary influences that are to he found in the horoscopal figure, one of the most common colors or combination of col­ors to be found in the aura, is a dark heavy brown mixed with a leaden gray. This vibration indicates that self is ever to the fore, selfishness predominates the every thought and action of the native. This is a result of Saturn afflicting the ascendant or planets found therein, or when Mercury and sometimes the planet Venus are receiving Saturn’s evil rays.

W hen a drak. heavy, leaden gray is ob­served in the auric colors this is an indica­tion that melancholy and depression exists in the environment. The individual is ever looking on the dark side of life and will make much of a very small matter. When the color mentioned is mixed with dark green that may be compared to a quagmire, it is an indication that these individuals are deceitful, dishonest, apt to take that which does not belong to them, are gossips and mischief-makers. This, is when Saturn is weak and in conjunction with or afflicting the ascendant or Mercury and the Moon

U nfortunately these colors may be too ;frequently observed in the environments of many, and it is well to keen in mind the fact that those loved friends who have joined the great m ajority in the higher life must necessarily contact these varied im­perfect conditions whenever they attempt to commune with them or come enrapport. and thus it may he seen how essential it is to eliminate all imperfect environments and vibrations, when entering the seance room for the purpose of holding converse with those in spirit life. Tt solves the problem of receiving perfect results. Then, again, there are times when one individual will disturb the harmony of a gathering hv the great activity of his or her imperfect vibra­tions when contacting the vibrations of others who have placed themselves in a passive receptive mood, and naturally are more quickly affected bv such influences than when out in the world of activity. Great attention must be given to these laws and an effort must be made to conform to them if the proper conditions are to be given to those intelligences who are seeking to find an open door to express themselves in perfect harmony.

W hen a dark yellow is observed, tinged with green and occasional flashes of red on a dark background are shown, this is an indi­cation that jealousy holds sway in the en­vironment of tlie native, and his life will indeed be an unhappy otic, not alone affect­ing his own but others’ happiness by turn- ing joy to sorrow ; in this natal chart Mer­cury and Venus arc afflicted by Saturn or Mars, and even Urania or the ascendant is receiving the evil rays from some of these combinations of planetary afflictions. It is a most serious affliction, indeed, and the cause of much sorrow and unhappiness in the world.

All these afflictions may be intensified or lessened in their power by the individual s own will if he will only strive to know his environment and to act accordingly, thus changing these dark heavy color vibrations to the milder, lighter, finer colors. When a dark red is seen, almost concealed by black, then there is an indication of rash anger, hatred for everything about them, never forget an injury, and will seek re­venge for seeming wrongs done them. This influence denotes an individual that will, if this vibration is permitted to exist, commit some terrible crime, and when angered will not hesitate to take the life of a fcllowman. Such conditions are to he found when Sat­urn, Mars and Urania arc afflicting the first house or the luminaries and Mercury.— S c ie n c e a n d K e y o f L i fe , I o l V I .

The Last Plea of Tolstoi.The experience of past ages shows that

capital punishment is no hindrance to crime. In other words these cruel executions are suggestive and promote or augment the evil that they are supposed to prevent.

Statistics show that in those states in this country where capital punishment has been abolished that murders are actually less fre­quent than in the states where the death penalty is inflicted. The great sixth com­mandment, “Thou shalt not kill, is equally imperative on governments as upon the individual. It is full time that the people were aroused against these cruel barbari­ties of a savage age. We give below a translation of the last written expression of Count Tolstoi, the great Russian author.

4 9 8 T H E S T E L L A R R A Y .

which was a plea against capital punish­ment.

“I am naturaly anxious to do all I can against evil, which tortures the best spirits of our time.

“I think the present effective war against capital punishment does not need forcing; there is no need for an expression of indignation against its immorality, cruelty and absurdity—every sincere think­ing person, everybody knowing from youth the sixth commandment, needs no explanation of its absurdity and immoral­ity; there is no need for descriptions of the horrors of executions as they only af­fect hangmen, so men will more unwilling­ly become executioners and governments will be obliged to compensate them more dearly for their services.

"Therefore I think that neither the ex­pression of indignation against the murder of our fellowmen nor the suggestion of its horror is mainly needed, but something to­tally different.

“As K ant well says, there are delusions which cannot be disproved and we must communicate to the deluded mind knowl­edge which will enlighten and then the de­lusions will vanish by themselves.

“ W hat knowledge need we communicate to the deluded human mind regarding the indispensableness, usefulness o r justice of capital punishment in order that said de­lusion may destroy itself?

"Such knowledge in my opinion is this; The knowledge of what is man, what his surrounding world, what his destiny—hence, what man can and must do and principally what he cannot and must not da.

“Therefore we should oppose capital pun­ishment by inculcating this knowledge to all men, especially to hangmen’s managers and sympathizers who wrongfully think they are maintaining their position thanks only to capital punishment.

“ I know this is not an easy task. The employers and approvers of hangmen with the instinct of self-preservation feel that this knowledge will make impossible the maintenance of the position which they oc­cupy, hence not only will they themselves not adopt it, but by all means in their power—by violence, deceit, lies and cruelty —they will try to hide from the people this knowledge, distorting it and exposing its

disseminators to all kinds of privations and sufferings.

“Therefore if we readily wish to destroy th t delusion of capital punishment, and if we possess the knowledge which destroys this delusion, let us, in spite of all men­aces, deprivations and sufferings, teach th e ; people this knowledge, because it is solely the effective means in the fight.

Leo Tolstoi.“Optina Monastery, November 11, 1910.”

Mrs. Bal(er C. Eddy.No person who has come into public

view within the last 25 years has been more misunderstood and abused than Mrs. Eddy, the parent of Christian Science, who recently passed out into another field of life expression “where the wicked cease from troubling.”

W hile her teachings were practically the same as those taught in the past, she had the courage‘ and stability to place them before the world in a way peculiarly her own and the time seemed to have been pro­pitious for the accomplishment of her great undertaking. W hile her conceptions of, tru th were to many minds somewhat narrow, they bore a special variety of fru it l of which the world was in need. The gist of her teachings is that the mind is the root of all disease and when the power of mind over m atter (which is in accord with im­mutable law) shall be better understood, then will Mrs. Eddy’s life and work be more and more appreciated.

The ST E LL A R RAY will ever hold in kindly remembrance the noble life and work of Mrs. Eddy and lend its aid to her fol­lowers in their efforts to promote health and a greater degree of happiness to mis­guided and suffering humanity.

The Healing of the Nations.W hen we come to realize that ju st as

surely as that the mind regulates the mus­cular movements of the body so may it con­trol all of its functions, we shall become a healthy, happy race of beings.- I t is a demonstrated fact that the higher

development of mind force will produce astonishing results.

No one is surprised to note th a t a man can pluck a bunch of grapes and eat it, but

T H E S T E L L A R R A Y . 4 9 9

that he has any further control over the organs of digestion than to m asticate and swallow the fru it would indeed surprise the average mind.

It is, however, a tru th which can be proved by any sincere, open-minded person, that all of the organs of digestion may be properly directed in their activities by the awakened consciousness.

W hat is the awakened consciousness? It is simply a state of mind which is awake to the fact that there are possibilities of achievement far beyond the present knowl­edge of th em ; a mental state which is also imbued with an impelling desire to know further of such hidden possibilities. Then through faithful endeavor will the light of truth penetrate the soul as the sunlight wakens one to fully realize that another day has dawned. To improve the health, use for a while the following exercise and note the results.

Each m orning upon rising drink a glass of fresh water, sending it to the stomach with this mental assertion: “This crystal stream shall cleanse my body from all harm ­ful deposits.” Repeat the thought several times, concentrating upon it for a moment or two earnestly. Then as you walk out into the open air, breathe deep with the earnest thought, “ I inhale from God’s m ar­velous atmosphere those qualities which cause pure blood to flow through my veins, giving me perfect health.”

No physical organism with a mind capable of these sincere, reverent, aspiring affirma­tions will fail to respond to that law which is for the uplifting of humanity, “ for the healing of the nations.”

In a railway carriage chat the other day a London medical man told a good story which had come within his own experience. A mother was frequently bringing her child to him for treatment, but the doctor could discover nothing amiss except its need of a good wash. She was certain the infant was suffering from some terrible complaint and begged the doctor to do his best. He pre­scribed a daily wash with the w ater in which the potatoes had been peeled. Never suspecting that this was merely a ruse to get the child washed, the m other followed the instructions to the letter. Rosy cheeks appeared, and a clean, healthy looking child gladdened the m other’s heart. She sounded the doctor’s praises everywhere, and ad­vised other mothers to test the efficacy of potato water. I t never occurred to her that precisely the same result would have followed the daily application of soap and water.—Ex.

The English gentleman who arose in the Y. M. C.

Bishop of Kensington, who ought to be fairly good authority, at the London dio­cesan conference a few days later deplored “the lessening hold of the church on all classes,” said that the “ proportion of com­municants to the population in small coun­try dioceses with the best records was 14 per cent, while in London it was less than 5.” This looks as if we were doing quite as well as our neighbors. The bishop added: “The springs of life are drying up. The losses are not balanced by inpouring streams of fresh young life.” A lay mem­ber responded with the brutal comment that 25 per cent of the loss were men who would go to church but for the “ rotten ser­mons.”— F o re ig n E x c h a n g e .

Women as Magistrates.The New York City Federation of W o­

men’s Clubs, at a recent convention, voted to ask for a law requiring the mayor to appoint women as associate m agistrates in the children’s court and the woman’s night court. Both are exceedingly good move­ments. The kind of a woman who would qualify for a magistrate would naturally have an insight into child nature and a wisdom in dealing with the problems of the situation which would make her'service of inestimable value. H er presence in the night court is especially to be recommended in view of the influence she might exert over young women who are first offenders and those who are victims of circumstances.

W hatever his doubts about its immor­tality may be, Thomas A. Key son has none whatever about the vexation of the soul these days. He gave an interview recently in which he expressed some of his uncer­tainty concerning a future life, and since that time he has had no peace.

"They say I am an atheist,” Mr. Edison said. “ Well. I am not. I never have been and I never said 1 was. Those who call me so have not read what I said.

“I believe in a Supreme Intelligence, but I have grave doubts whether the good folk on this earth are going to he roused from their graves to go to some beautiful, shin­ing place aloft.

“ I don’t see it. I can’t see it, and neither -an these ministers of fashionable churches

who are finding fault with me. They don’t even say what they th in k ; often they don’t think a t all—it’s all business with them.

“They tell me I am heading straight for hell. Maybe I am. but I ’ll take my chances with the fashionable minister. If there is such a spot as heaven, I ’ll bet I ’ll get there first.”

A Collie’s Heroism.The name of the little fellow is unknown,

but he was a young terrier that had run in front of an electric car in H alifax and had become bewildered. The motorman called to him, and would have stopped the car had it been possible, hut the down grade made it difficult to come to'* a sudden halt. Most of the passengers were breathless, realizing the imminent danger of the little dog.

T H E S T E L L A R R A Y . 501

A collie that was on the sidewalk grasped the situation and made a bold dash in front of the car. Seizing the terrier firmly by the collar, with one supreme effort he gave a strong pull, and in the nick of time his shaggy little friend was in a place of safety.

T hat the onlookers appreciated the intelli­gence and bravery of the noble collie was apparent by hearty cheering as both dogs trotted together down the street.

The American Family."Doctor Parkhurst went abroad last sum­

mer as usual to inspect the people of the other nations,” says Edward Sandford M ar­tin in W oman’s Home Companion for De­cember. “W hen he canie home he said it was easy to tell them all at sight. Italians. Irishm en, Frenchmen, Germans—an eye, he thought, did not need to be very care­fully trained to identify any of them. ‘And as for the native-born, full-blooded Am eri­can.’ he said, ‘there is no human creature anywhere on earth that is like him or, as I should say, that is the equal of him.’ It is certainly true that the American of the United States has come to have a distinct

national identity. I hope Doctor Park- hurst’s opinion of his superior quality is also true. There are reasons why it ought to be—reasons connected with breadth of opportunity and relief from various inher­ited handicaps that affect all of Europe.

“ But the greatest of all agencies to make it true and keep it true is the American family. Out of the family comes govern­m ent; out of the family comes education, and all the magnificent apparatus for spreading and bettering it. The indispen­sable product of a country that would be great is neither gold nor iron, copper, cot­ton nor corn, but effectual men and women, who know what is worth trying for and are fit to attain it. And this indispensable product is a family product. Only as fam­ilies exist and are worthy can it be forth­coming. W e see and are impressed by enor­mous mills, astonishing city structures, tre­mendous examples of the power of the minds and hands of men, but these things are no more than the passing fruit of the trees whose roots are in the family. These things do not make men. Education itself does not make men. The family makes m en ; and given men of the right quality in the right place and time, all these other things will be added unto them.”

“The Stars Incline, Bui Do Not Compel.”

Mr. Ensign, the inventor of the Ensign Remedies, has been a studetjt of astrology for many years, has cast horoscopes for many friends anti for some whom he has never seen or known. H is success in this direction has been great. He says: “ I was born with Saturn on the very cusp of my first house, Aries rising, and with U ranus 29 degrees behind Saturn, in the same house. Mars is in opposition to Sat­urn in Libra, thus being in opposition to his own house also This is bad, and should make a very quarrelsome, spiteful person ; but Mercury is very strongly posited in Virgo, and far away from the sun’s rays, and approaching Mars, so my temper, which is certainly hot, is well under control of reason. I can never be fortunate in money

matters, except that Saturn is bound to help me in extreme need, and always has. Uranus helps by unexpected turns of for­tune, and gives me an utter disregard for precedents, customs and habits, and a desire to “get out of the rut.” And I certainly have done so.”

All people who are opposed to the use of drugs in the treatm ent of disease, and who arc afflicted and need more good help than they are able to summon to overcome their afflictions, should read the advertise­ment of the Ensign Remedies Co., in this issue. We have carried th.is 'advertisement a long time and in that time we have never had a word of complaint against these people, and we have every reason to believe that they are sincere and truthful in all they say. The Ensign Remedies are formed from the natural elements of the human body, in the form in which they are found

4

in a state of health. Technically these Remedies would be called inorganic food­stuffs ; and they are now considered by real scientists as the most necessary food elements of the body; fo r without tliem there could be no life or motion. You can­not make an electric battery-w ithout th e ' positive bases or the negative acids, neither can you make a living human body without them. So the Ensign Remedies or foods are absolutely essential for health, as the lack of some one or more of these elements is indicated by disease, the particular form of the disease indicating the particular ele­ment lacking.

The Boy Seoul.The boy scout movement is making de­

served progress. The prim ary purpose of the organization, to make good healthy men, strong in mind and body, is indicated by the “scouts’ oath,” which in reality is a set of rules for right living. A few of these will prove the point:

“A scout’s honor is to be trusted. - If a scout were to break his honor by telling a lie. or by not carrying out an order exactly when trusted on his honor to do so, he may be directed to hand over his scout badge, and never to wear it again. H e may also be directed to cease to be a scout.

“A scout is loyal to his country, his offi­cers. his parents, and his employers. He must stick to them through thick and thin against anyone who is their enemy or who even talks badly of them.

“A scout’s duty is to be useful and to help others. He must' be prepared a t any time to save life or to help injured persons. And lie must try his best to do a good turn to somebody every day.

“A scout is a friend to all, and a brother to every other scout, no m atter to what social class the other belongs.

“A scout must never be a snob. A snob is one who looks down upon another be­cause he is poorer, or who is poor and re­sents another because he is rich. A scout accepts the other man as he finds him, and makes the best of him.

,"A scout is courteous. T hat is, he is polite to all. but especially to women and children, and old people and invalids, crip­ples, etc. And he must not take any re­

ward for being helpful or courteous.“A scout is a friend to animals. He

should save them as far as possible from pain, and should not kill any animal un­necessarily. K illing an animal for food is allowable.

“A scout obeys orders of his parents, patroj leader or scoutmaster without ques-. tion.

“A scout smiles and whistles under all circumstances. W hen he gets an order he should obey it cheerily and readily, not in a slow, hang-dog sort of way. Scouts never grumble a t hardships, nor whine a t each other, nor swear when put out. The pun­ishment for swearing or using bad language is for each offense a mug of cold w ater to be poured down the offender’s sleeve by the other scouts. I t was the punishment in­vented by the old scout, Capt. John Smith, 300 years ago.

“A scout is thrifty, that is, he Saves every penny he can, and puts it into the bank, so that he may have money to keep himself when out of work, and thus not make himself a burden to others; or that he may have money to give away to others when they need it.”

Were you Born in the Zodiacal Sign Capricorn?

I f you were born between December 21st and January 19th, the Sun was in the sign Capricorn. The native of this sign is am­bitious, aspiring, desirous of fame or power, well fitted for leadership; sooner or later he occupies some position of impor­tance ; is inclined to have few confidants

or intimate friends; is thoughtful, subtle, serious and reserved : may be wanting in buoyancy and hope, although M ars promi­nent in his natal chart would m odify his nature.

He makes a better m aster than servant. The Sun in Capricorn is not indicative of the best health nor of longevity unless other planets in the chart strengthen the physical and thus lengthen the life. N either is the

4

5 0 4 . T H E S T E L L A R R A Y .

position of the Sun at time of birth favor­able for marriage, and it threatens the death of children.

However, much depends on the sign ris­ing, also other planets in the Sun sign as well as the Moon’s polarity, so that the above applies only in a general way. Nev­ertheless, many who read this will recog­nize the principal characteristics as belong­ing to those who were born with the Sun in Capricorn.

As there is a sign rising every four min­utes of time, it will be seen that the place and time of birth are necessary for the erec­tion of an accurate chart, from which an able astrologer may read the nature and events of the individual life as if by magic. It is not at all magical, however, simply the practical application of a mathematical sci­ence established through ages of experience and myriad data found in the horoscopes not only of people but of nations.

As Stellar Science becomes better under­stood, it will be required of all parents to ascertain for what field of activity a child is adapted before his education is under­taken, in order that best results may be attained. I f a father desires that his son should become an electrical engineer, the instructors will first inquire, “do his plane­tary configurations show that he may ex­pect success in this line?" An intelligent father will reply, “H is natal chart indicates adaptability for engineering and mechan­ics.” Then will the child’s education bear upon his best adaptations before he is old enough to give the m atter his own attention. As he will be unfolding his talents accord­ing to the laws governing his birth, he will love his studies and doubtless not think of a change except to such broader fields of operation as his education shall eventually fit him to enter.

We repeat the a rt of living will ever be crude until the stellar configurations at time of birth are considered and followed as are the currents of the sea by the navigator, and the strata of the earth’s formation by those who seek for its hidden treasures.

“W hat is it, do you suppose, that keeps the moon in place and prevents it from faling?” asked Araminta.

The National Astrological Society of the United States.

A recent report from the Secretary of the Natio'hal Astrological Society of the United States, Rev. Altan Z. Stevenson, D. A., gives evidence of growth and a healthy activity. There are members in nearly qll of the states, beside Mexico, Panam a and England. Most of the members of the San Francisco Society are joining the National Association and the Los Angeles Society bids fair to unite bodily.

L. V. Raymond, the presiding elder of the San Francisco branch of the National Association, writes us that they hold lec­tures on Astrology every Sunday night at 1106 Devisadero St. These meetings are well attended, as are the classes both for Astrological studies and higher laws of occult studies.

’ Those desiring further information re­garding the National Association of A strol­ogers should write to Sec. Altan Z. Ste­venson, D. A., 1629 Lexington Ave., New York City, or to Pres. Frederick W hite,D. A., Crystal Bay, Minn.

The Chemistry of Astrology.December 21st to January 19th.

By Dr. George Carey. 1,There are “Times and Seasons.” The

revolution of the Zbdiac, an illusion pro­duced by the revolution of Earth, and the ever-varying pathway of Moon and planets cause angles or influences which impinge upon the E arth ’s aura (the envelope of aerial substance that enfolds E arth ), and sets in motion the electrons that run the dynamos of our world, or whirl. The elec­trons, or molecules, atoms, are the letters that spell the E ternal W ord, “The Heavens declare the glory of God,” or Energy.

“Day unto day uttereth Speech.”“There is no v o ic e where their language

is not heard.”Thus we see that the astrologers of old

knew that E arth was one of the Heavenly W orlds (whirls, or planets), and that the language of the Cosmos was heard in the Speech of man.

Capricorn means goat; (and goat traced to its root means God. In fact all w o rd s traced to their primal source mean God, yod, IOD. Iod is the unpronouncable

T H E S T E L L A R R A Y . 50&

Name—the W ord from which all things proceed.

The industrial world, the trades unions, the railroads and great manufactories, and trusts, are represented by Capricorn, and ruled by Saturn or Chronus, the slow and powerful god with “ feet of wool” and a halo of ineffable light encircling its re­splendent sphere. One of the component parts of the “ Philosopher’s Stone” is known as phosphate of lime (known by a score of names in alchemical w ritings), which is the chief bone-builder. Bone tissue is fifty-seven parts lime phosphate. As the great industries are the foundation of so­ciety. the State, so is bone the foundation, S lo n e , of the flesh man. A deficiency of laborers in the industrial W orld causes the decay of Civilization. A deficiency of the phdsphate of lime causes necrosis (decay) of bone structure and disease of the whole body.

Those born in the Sign Capricorn are more liable to lack their birth salt than those born in other Signs.

The phosphate of lime should be tritu ­rated with sugar of milk up to the 3d X in order to be fine enough to he taken up by the mucus membrane absorbents and thus carried into the blood.

The 3d X corresponds with the solution of this bone salt in vegetables, fruits, nuts, etc.

Chemistry is the result of Stellar rays or angles (angels).

The Outlook for January I9KBy FREDERICK W HITE,

President National Astrological Society of the United States, also Editor of the Adept,

Crystal Bay, Minn.

Our New Moon for January occurs on the 31st of December at 10:21 a. m., Chi­cago time. or one hour earlier W eshington time. The Full of the Moon occurs on the 14th of January a t 4:26 p. m., Chicago" Standard time. At the time of the New Moon, the Sun is within a degree of a sex- tile of Jupiter, a good aspect, it being a generally good aspect for Business and Financial affairs: indicating confidence and contentment among the well to do class who

furnish the capital for business. The per­iod till the 12th of January is quite favor­able for starting new business affairs or making important changes, the magnetic ef­fects are such as will give generally good judgment. The health outlook is quite fav­orable in general. W eather conditions quite good, favoring clear and sharp or cold weather, the public generally ambitious and persevering.

Cereal and stock markets should show quite a good bit of strength, the money outlook good and bank reports satisfactory considering the time of the year. To the 1 2 th of the month is tlte best part for all new affairs, from the 1 2 th, be more care­ful than usual, a change begins; the sun conies to an opposition of Neptune and at the time of the full of the moon will be in conjunction with Uranus, a had and un­certain aspect; it causes sudden and un­looked for changes, changes in weather; health conditions not as favorable, those who are subject to nervous weakness, weak livers or such will be affected to quite an extent and suddenly, many will suddenly want to make radical moves, changes and want to travel, and for the next month, there will be more than the usual amount of travel. Stock and Cereal m arkets sub­ject to sudden changes and much activity with some bad breaks in the markets altho these will be subject to sudden reverses, the m arkets will not go one way, ( if possi­ble. they would go sideways under this as­pect) those who speculate on small m ar­gins need to be careful, we may expect very erratic and unusual weather the last half of January.

erally favorable for business, changes, etc ; not good for risks out of the common.

* * *

N o te : These good and bad days given,refer particularly to good or bad dates for starting new business or changes. Those who are unfortunate enough to have bad aspects in their individual horoscopes will often make investments, s ta rt changes, new business, etc., under unfavorable aspects. Those who have favorable conditions at birth, know intuitively when the best peri­ods are, or take things as they come, allow­ing the o ther party to do the guessing. I have kept records of such events for the past 2 0 years and invariably I can depend upon it, th a t deals started under unfavor­able aspects result disastrously for the one who sta rts them. Corporations formed h under favorable conditions have been for­tunate, those started under evil aspects, have met serious reverses.

A n Appreciation.Langdon, Canada, Nov. 10th, 1910.

D ear Mr. Hodges:Out here on the edge of civilization,

where it seems such a brief step from the wild life to our so-called “cultured class,” your wholesome, inspiring editorials in Stellar Ray give us such strength and en­ergy for the Task, that I must say a word in appreciation.

Standing aloof from the shams which fill to the utmost the social, religious and busi­ness world today, we are able to grasp to the fullest your beautiful and uplifting thoughts. W e are able to follow you

through the glorious fields of occult Kinship, Observation, Recognition and Realization. W e walk beside you in your marvelous journeys above and beyond the sordid and insane philosophies of the world, and shate with you the matchless and nameless sweets of the H igher Life—of that clearer con­sciousness o f the tru th to which the hungry human race is aspiring!

Looking backward through the mist of human history, it seems that it was but yesterday m orning, only a day and night ago, that the first awakened Animal-Man lifted up his bewildered eyes, from the brute world about him, and said in exulta­tion, "G reat G od! I am a Man 1” Only

T H E S T E L L A R R A Y . 5 0 7

yesterday m orning it was that the first dawn of Conscious Consciousness flashed like a gleaming sword across the awakened Mind of M an!

And yet, in that brief day, w hat a world of m asterful ascension, of marvelous achievement, of glorious progress, has been accom plished! Another century, perhaps another 1 , 0 0 0 years, and we will have reached that exalted stage of Spiritual Real­ization whose beacon light guides us on­w ard through the splendid N o w ! You are helping carry the L ight! You and your Stellar Ray are in the front rank of torch b eare rs!

Ere we realize it, the gates of F ear and Superstition, a t which the hosts of Light are battering, will fall from their rusty hinges. H ere and there, in pulpit, pew, of­fice, home and m art, the leaven o f Modern Thought is working its miracle. T his mod­ern thought is so forceful, so healing, so uplifting, so wholesome, that it eats like an acid of L ight into the iron-bound bigo­try of the world. Success is yours. Power and energy and long life are yours.

Respectfully,Bert H uffman.

Langdon, Canada, Nov. 10th, 1910.

Today and Forever.(For the Stellar Ray.)

Yesterday was the Future To myriads gone their way;

And myriads saw their Future In the glories of Today!

To these who live and labor In the wonders Now and Here

Another Future beckons,Distant many a year!

There is no Past or Future—There is only an endless Now,

And its current flows Forever,Placid and fair, I trow!

• The feet of the World press upward,Its Heart beats on and on,

Threading the trails forever From star-lit dawn to dawn!

Today we are Here on Duty;Tomorrow the Task is done

And we take up our work in the Faraway, Under the same glad sun.

And just as our faith bore Forward In the Earth-light, sweet and fair.

In the same Love-lighted gladness Will we finish our Labor There!

Bert Huffman.Langdon, Canada, December 6 th, 1910.

To a Water-Lily.O star on the breast of the river,

0 marvel of blood and grace,Did you fall straight down from Heaven,

O ut of the sweetest place ?You are white as the thought of an angel,

Y our heart is steeped in the sun,Did you grow in the Golden City,

My pure and shining one?

Nay, nay, I "fell” not out of Heaven,None "gave” me my saintly white;

It slowly “grew ” from blackness Down in the dreary night,

From the ooze of the silent river1 won my glory and grace.

W hite souls fall not, O my poet;They rise to the sweetest place.

—Mrs. M. F. Butts.

The Domestic Science Department.W hy don’t we write some things we have

learned about housekeeping?Perhaps every one is busy as I am, for

housekeeping is an endless chain of duties, duties that should be carefully and cheer­fully performed.

No one should cook who does not work cheerfully. The bread sours, the vegetables burn, numerous other ills occur, and all be­cause of the work being “something I don’t like.”

A bright young lady was helping me with my work. I asked, “Can you make light bread?” She cheerfully sa id : “I have have never made any, but know I can if you will tell me how.” She never failed; her bread was first-class.

Useless waste helps to keep “noses on the grindstone.” Dry bread o f any kind or "poor” bread, can all be used; cut it into slices or small bits, heat in the oven and leave dry until needed, when it can be soaked in milk over night, o r moistened with hot water, and nice griddle cakes, gems, dressing for meat or w ithout meat can be made from such bread. L ittle "left­overs” o f food from one meal can be mixed with those from another and together a nice, palatable dish brought onto the table. Nice soups can be made by chopping the left-overs and cooking in broth—or even w ater and butter—seasoning w ith celery

salt, onion, parsley or with anything to suit taste.

I have a fireless cooker that does excel­lent cooking. T he toughest parts of meat will be tender, juicy and fine. For cooking oatmeal, cornmeal mush, beans or anything that requires long baking it cannot be beaten. You simply have to put them in the cooker in tim e , and there is no watch­ing or care until the food is needed. It is a great fuel and time-saver. I have little trouble canning tomatoes in self-sealing glass jars. I think the secret of success is mainlv in having them th o ro u g h ly cooked. I cook them in- bulk without salt or sugar, have the cans filled with hot water and tops hot. Put the tomatoes in the hot cans and screw tops on—not too tight at first. A little later put the tops down t ig h t. Turn the jars upside down to stand over night. If there should be air inside this will force it out. In the morn­ing, if none have leaked, they are quite sure to keep. Let us hear about the Mak-Mor butter machine. If there is any way to s tre tc h butter we would be glad to know about it. O. S. M.

Dear F riends: I promised to let youknow my success with the machine for making more butter. I did not get it for some time, and when it came I was in a hurry to double my pound of high-priced butter, and as soon as I could get a pint of good milk I tried it. Two of us worked at it for an hour, but the milk would not turn to butter. Some of it' was beat into the butter, puffing it up. but it ju st spoiled good butter, as the milky butter did not go as far as the solid creamery butter. I tried it again with no better success, so wrote for my money back and they asked me to try it again, as they said thousands were using it with great success. So I tried again and then cleaned and packed it tin and it would take a dollar to pay me to try it again.

If any one who reads this has ever tried one, we would thank her very much to give us her experience. W e do not say, don’t try it, for you m ight meet with better suc­cess. I f it did as claimed, I would not take $ 1 0 0 for it. I believe in trying every new invention and will soon need to build

a room to hold the useless things I have on hand. But I will condemn nothing un­til tried.

I know a lady who is making money off Orris. Would like to hear from others who have tried it.

Mothers, did you ever try using new Canton flannel instead of oilcloth for ba­bies? It turns water before it is washed.

On rainy days when your children run out of plays, suggest that they play “ Post- office." They will enjoy having you call for mail and buy stamps.

Can anyone tell us how to make hens lay ? One lady says she knows how to make eggs keep. She asks if she can-m ake money by the secret. There are so m any such recipes. H ers seems easy and good.

For the best New Idea sent us we will give some O rris plants.

M. B. Nicor., Manassas, Va.

Mount Carmel. Conn.. Nov. 28, 1910. To the Household Dept, o f Stellar Ray:

I am anxious to see the Household page of Stellar Ray get such a good start that there wil not be space enough to print all the letters that are received each month.

I have canned nearly all kinds of fruit and vegetables that grow in our part of the country. If I were to give full direction^, for canning the vegetables, they would take up too much space, and not interest many of the readers of this m agazine; but to any sister of mine who has failed in canning beets, beans of any kind, summer or winter squash, pumpkin, carrots, corn, tomatoes, green peas, soups, greens o r chicken. I will be glad to send her full directions upon receipt of a stamped, self-addressed envel­ope. I made this offer once before in a magazine and was able to help many women all over the country.

I have never used a “Fireless” with this exception: I use Magic yeast for makingbread, and as it is so slow to rise I set mv bread in the mixer over night. On cold nights I sometimes failed to keen it warm long enough to become light. After bread is once light, it can go in the ice box if it is necessary, for any reason to postpone the baking. I took a salt mackerel tub, lined it with newspapers and old cotton, making the center cavity to fit the mixer perfectly.

T H E S T E L L A R R A Y . 5 0 9

The bread dough is very warm when it goes in, and the result is perfect bread. 1 lay a feather pilow on top, a sweater or coat on that, and usually one of the cats sleeps on the top of all.

I have raised sweet peas for market. The only directions I could give, as cli­mate must be considered, would be these: F irst, get the m arket—consult your nearest florist. Get him to promise to take all you can raise, and then And out what colors he wants. Buy your seed of him if possible. T his shows appreciation on your p a rt; be­sides, if the colors do not come out true— and sometimes they do not—why, he will have sold you the seed and will not go back on his word to take the blossoms. I re­ceived twenty-five cents a hundred, tied in bunches of about a dozen. I could have had a better price had I planted the seed earlier. The trick is to get them in the ground early, so as to have the blossoms

ready to m arket as soon as the hot-house blossoms begin to be replaced by other things. Plant them "east and west” and never in the same ground two seasons in succession. Usually white and light colors are wanted for funerals and weddings.

They take little space and are delightful to cultivate if one loves flowers. I would rather raise sweet peas fo r the flower m ar­ket than green peas for the vegetable m ar­ket.

A T a b le H in t—If you open a can of sal­mon that is hard and dry, and looks flavor­less, ju st pick it to pieces with a fork and add a tablespoonfu! or so of table oil, when it is to be served cold and plain.

A K itc h e n H in t—Save the backs of old kid gloves to polish the silver, faucets and brass. Nothing better.

Miscellaneous Experiences.Reported by J ames S. H yslop.

The following incidents came to my knowledge and I took the trouble to secure them for perm anent record. My attention was called to the lady whose experiences they were by Miss Edm undsKDr. Hodgson’s assistant secretary in Boston, in connection with the experience on record which re­lates to the sending and receipt of a sum of money to help the Society out of its financial embarrassment. This incident does not require to be narrated here, but only mentioned as the circumstance which induced Miss Edmunds to write me, and which prompted me to call on the lady and to have an interview. I did so and found her experiences such as to justify a record of them. The one reason for this policy is that they are first hand or purport to be. * * * Finding the lady, Mrs. Frecftrika

A.

“ I was living a t the time in London. Mycousin, Colonel M-------------, who was, aswell as myself, a first cousin of GeneralM------------ , of Civil W ar fame, was thenliving in S t Paul, Minnesota. He was

I 4

SIO T H E S T E L L A R R A Y

occupied as a civil engineer in that place, and had been living in the place for some time. I had never seen the place a t that time and never have seen it since then. In fact, St. Paul was only a name to me. We were in the habit of corresponding with each other but at intervals of several weeks. On this occasion I had not heard from him for some time, about the usual interval, but had no suspicion of a reason for it, and no occasion to suppose or to know he was ill. I had made arrangements to go to the opera on this particular occasion and with­out a thought of my cousin, fully expected to do so. But about 6 o’clock P. M. I felt a singular depression of mind and body, as if I did not wish to go out with the com­pany with whom I had engaged to attend the opera. I remarked to the family that I would not go out. but remain at home, as I wished to be left alone, not feeling dis­posed to keep the engagement. I replied to inquiries merely that I did not feel like going out. not knowing more what the rea­son was than the bare fact of indisposition. A fter the others had gone I dismissed the maid, saying that I would not need her. A fter she had gone a feeling came over me, as if forced in spite of myself to dress as I did when a young girl when this cousin and myself had been together. I put up my hair in rouleaux exactly as I used to wear it. all the time with the sensation that I was somebody else. I went to the box, unpacked a blue dress, put it on. opened the throat and tied a blue ribbon about my neck, ju st as when I was a girl. I then went to the m irror and remarked that T had not changed much, and supposed myself still a girl. I then sat down in a little chair by a dressing-table and seemed at once not to be there any longer, but at the door of a strange house in a strange city. I went into the house by the door, which seemed to open for me. and passed into a room on the left of the entrance. The room had two windows, one looked into the street in front, and the other was on the side of the room. I saw a large table with drawers extending to the floor in front, just such a table as a business man would possess, covered with green leather and piled with the apparatus of an engineer. There was an ingrain carpet

with small figures on t ’ i floor. I went up­stairs to a room at .e back of the house and on entering, found my cousin sick in bed, his head tied up and he was moaning with pain. H is wife was trying to relieve him. He kept saying, ‘O h ! I wish Fan' would conic. I wish Fan was here. She’d take away my pain.’ I walked up to his bed, pu t my hands on his head and said, ‘I am here. I ’ll take away .your pain.’ I said to his -wife, ‘Sit dow n!’ I went on to J soothe him by means of magnetic passes over his head, ju st as I had done many times before. The fever and pain seemed to leave him, while he lay on the bed and seemed to be quiet. W hen I found that he seemed better and feeling myself the im­pulse, for it was a feeling of. compulsion, to go back, I said. ‘Now I m ust return. I have made you well.’ He begged and im­plored me to stay. H is wife now came forward and also begged me to stay. 'No,'I said. ‘They’re pulling me. I must go back, but it hurts.’ In this expression I allude to my sensation whenever I have the experience of leaving and returning to my body. I then kissed my cousin good-bye and instantly found myself back at Ashlev Place in London. Before entering my body, however. I stood looking at it and strange to say noticed that my hair was down, while in reality I had put it up in rouleaux as above described. But I saw my body and h a ir as they usually were. I hesitated to \ en ter because I knew it would hurt. But something said that I must and I obeyed, feeling the pain which I had said to my cousin would occur.

“I should add, also, that while at my cousin’s bedside I was conscious all the while of a very dear friend by the name o f George who had been dead at that time for eight or ten years, perhaps more.

“ About two weeks afterw ard I received a letter from my cousin, when he was able to write, saying that he had had a very sin­gular experience in connection with me, and detailed the facts that have ju st been nar­rated. He said that while in great pain and wishing that I would come to him, as I had often done in this way, I seemed to come into the room and to soothe his brow.H e particularly mentioned that George was w ith ’me, and that when he had gotten re-

T H E S T E L L A R R A Y . sir

lief I turned to go away and in answer to his remonstrance said, ‘I must go, but it hurts.’ I replied to the letter describing the house, rooms, carpet and surroundings. He wrote me that the description was correct in every detail, but that he was convinced the whole thing was the work of the devil. He was a very strict Congregationalist, a sect a t that time and in the west quite as orthodox as anyone could wish in regard to the belief in the devil. But it was strange that he should resort to such an extraordinary explanation of the incident when he was accustomed at previous times to communicate with me (telepathically) at any time or distance by calling to me and conversing with me as if I were present. At any rate this experience with its knowl­edge of the physical objects about him was too much for his imagination, and im­pressed him so unfavorably that he would never try to communicate again in the usual m anner with me. Closely as we were connected he did not come to me when he was really dying.

“ Another experience of a premonitory •type may be worth repeating. I was in Paris, and the incident occurred some ten or twelve years ago. It was a waking vis­ion. Suddenly and without any warning I seemed to see a scene at M--------- , Derby­shire, England. I had never been there be­fore, and it appeared that with my brother, who had long been dead, I was taking a drive along a river road, on the banks look­ing up on a height which would be called a mountain in England. On the slope were a man and woman engaged in an eager conversation, accompanied by considerable gesticulation and altercation. She was dressed in spotted plaid cloth, apparently of a light woolen texture. The 'do ts on the cloth were small and spread over the plaid squares. Both came on down toward the river still disputing. She seemed to plead with the man very earnestly. I said that there was danger and said to my brother that we should go and help her, because she was in danger. He replied, ‘No, he has to kill her. I t ’s com ic!’ W hile speaking I saw the man throw her off the bank by the bridge into the river, and she was drowned. I immediately came to myself and felt the depression and horror which

such an experience would naturally pro­duce.

“A few days afterw ard, a friend of mine in that part of the world sent me a news­paper which contained an account of the murder, ju st as I had seen it, the descrip­tion of the woman being ju st as L have given it. The paper was not sent to m e for this purpose. Moreover, my vision took place before the event. O f this my mem­ory seems quite positive.

“Another incident was the following. I was in Nice at the tim e; ju st what year I have forgotten. One m orning I awakened and saw the apparition of a man, Mr.I.eG--------- L— —------- , standing a t the footof my bed. I had met him on a voyage and knew him but slightly. I t was quite light, and he was dressed in a yachting suit drip­ping with water. I asked him what he was doing here. He replied that he had ju st died, and among other things said, ‘Tele­graph to vour agent and charge him to sell out certain stocks and buy others.’ I re­fused, protesting that he would not obey orders. But my friend replied, ‘Don’t be womanish, but assert your authority.’ I did so and the result was as he foretold. 1 never saw him again. The m orning news­paper brought the news by cable from America of his death.”

Phenomena.In our own home we entertained the

woman. There were no “wires, rubber tubes” or o ther means of deception. Through this woman in her trum pet seances have come some excellent proofs of individual­ized, personal identity of those who have passed on to a higher plane of existence.

One evening we were in a seance (w ith her as medium ), when the trum pet was raised and began rapping on the floor slowly. W ithout knowing why I did it, I began counting. Ten raps were sounded. I asked why have you done this? Voice in the trum pet answ ered: "R a in ; I do not see whether it will be in the evening or the morning, ten days.” There had been an unusual lack of rain in tin's locality— months without it. when this prediction came. We waited hopefully. The tenth day came with no signs of rain. The day passed, evening came, and we were ’of th e

512 T H E S T E L L A K K A V

opinion a mistake had been made. At ten o’clock that night we wei*e surprised to find the clouds had rolled up and that rain was falling lightly. During the night there was mist, rain and sleet.

W eather predictions (o r change in atmos­phere) have been given to me from that source for many years. Usually I hear the voice giving these predictions. Only a few times have they been given through mediums and then it has been through the trumpet—or as our guardians wish it called “temple”—mediums. Positively I do not know how to make weather forecasts any more than other ordinary mortals. O. S. M.

Death's Mission.Death, clad in robes of radiant brightness,

walked o’er the earth,And where’er his shadow chanced to fall.

Each one shrank back, in wild alarm and sadness, and in silence,

There awaited, the messenger’s dread call.For to their eves, hv earth's dire sorrows

blinded, his radiance,His beauty, they coulosi not then perceive,

And whene'er he called in accents sweet and tender, his voice

Sought not to hear, or message to receive.Yet calmly he walked, opposed, misunder­

stood, and hated,In patient firmness, to each duty tru e ;

In silence enduring, unheeding, never justice seeking,

Whilst each act they thus didst miscontrue.For well he knew, once they but walked with

him, they vvouldst behold,His radiant brightness, and then wouldst

know,When e’er he cabled, ’twas in loving kind­

ness, to open life’sEternal gates, as friend he came, not foe.

Department of Psychical Sciences and Unfoldment

By J. C. F. GHUMBINE, D. D.Fellow of the Society of Sciences, Letters and Arts, London, Eng.

W hen Sir Oliver Lodge wrote in his book on “E ther" that between the highest vibra­tion of sound and the lowest vibration of light there is an immense gap, which ether no doubt will fill, he hinted at possibilities of experimental physics, chemistry and psychology, which students of the occult cannot afford to ignore.

These alleged gaps are only hypothecated, for as a m atter of fact, as thqre is neither vacuum nor the absence of life even in these apparent gaps, other expressions of force or forms of spirit are active and present. E ther, so S ir Oliver Lodge main­tains, fills an immense extension of space between high and low vibrations. So it is with the expressions of the life of the spirit in its interior, supernormal and spir­itual spheres.

Take clairvoyance and clairaudience; out present seeing and hearing is affected by the low vibrations of ether waves in the physical forms of light and sound waves.

To sec spiritually and clairvoyantly, or to hear spiritually or clairaudieritly requires no physical light or sound waves, but ether

waves, which vibrate so finely and rapidly as to offer no resistance to the free exer­cise of the spirit’s innermost seeing and hearing.

Science is helping the blind, agnos­tic, m aterial and adulterous generation of men to see how seership and divination are possible and practical under natural and spiritual law.

Such supernormal expression of divine power does not imply merely a supersensi­tive organism, but a brain, mind and spirit, keyed to the finest and purest thoughts and ideals.

Purity is the keynote of the quickest and highest and truest spiritual and supernor­mal unfoldment. Ninety-nine per cent of what many spiritualists accept as messages from the spirit world is subjective mind reading.

T hat we can commune and communi­cate with the spirit world is a fact, but in psychism, spiritism and the new psychology, due discriminatibfi m ust be made between mediumship, supernormalism and mind-reading. And the best way to obtain messages and visions from the spirit world

T H E S T E L L A R R A Y . 513

is first to spiritualize the life, then subject­ify the ego and all thought, and learn to see and listen with the interior spiritual sight and hearing, which is easily accom-

SU CCESS as money makes money.I t has been said by some rich men that

their first $ 1 0 0 was the hardest to earn or save. A fter that the rest came easy. The more they saved the easier the next came. W hen one has brains, a very little money will help them to success, but without brains a man soon parts from his money. Use your brain force. I f you have not one dollar today, the lack of brains and en­ergy alone can keep you poor. Success is not alone in m aking money, but in having it to use for comfort and pleasure, and to help others.

Nineteen hundred and ten is numbered with the past. W hat did it bring to you? It brought you full return for all YOU brought to it. If you entered it with Hope and Faith and Love, you have enjoyed the year and are ready for greater success in 1911. Never enter a New Y ear with any thoughts and fears you do not wish to m ate­rialize. W hy is it that what we fear often comes to us in place of w hat we hope fo r ’ I t is because the fear (thought is held stronger than the hope, for the very word "H ope” implied a doubt in our mind. I t is not enough to hope for a thing. W e M UST B E L IE V E we will get it and hold that thought firmly. C hrist said if we asked for a thing, B E L IE V IN G we would get it. our prayer would be answered. W e must have the faith of a little child.

111 Seekers“I wish to say to the Club that about a

year ago I was living in a flat on the second floor. I asked the Club to help me get a home near the ground. I now have a home on the first floor, in a new flat, all very nice. I wish to thank all the friends who helped me with their good thoughts. I am holding thoughts of success for all the Club, also for those who are boring for oil, and I KNOW they will find it. I hope soon to hear the oil is coming forth in great quantities. Re­member what I tell YOU, it is there and they will get it sure. No. 1157: W e not only hope but B E L IE V E you are right. The boring is very slow through solid rock, but the experts say the formation is the same as in the noted W est V irginia oil wells. We are not at all disappointed that oil has not been found by now, Nov. 28. It may take several months yet. Last sum­mer we intended to take some stock in a new company in California, but let the opportunity slip, and they have struck a16,000 barrel gusher. If this company strikes a 6 ,0 0 0 barrel well, its stock will be worth much more than the other, because thev have a much larger field and the oil is of better quality. One man who has ju st in­vestigated this Company’s prospects, has invested $4,500 in stock. He does not do this on ho p e , but on his b e lie f. He has this money and the faith and he will make it work for him and increase many fold. Then he will invest that. I f he had to make a fortune by the work of his hands alone, how long would it take him?

W e offered our members the opportunity to put a dollar or two in this stock to give them a starter. All who have accepted the opportunity have invested $5 or $10 that they would not suffer for the loss of

“Men who succeed, master the principles of success by securing, observing, digesting, assimilating the experience o f others. They escape ‘a long wandering' by taking a short path.”—Anon. W e know of one man who profited by the experience o f others. He borrowed money to invest in the Oil Com­pany and now he rides in h is private car. W e know some who did not profit by others’ experiences and put $500 o r more in a company in Ohio and got nothing back."N othing can keep thee from thine own

She has strug­gled for a year to pay for her membership in the League and has accomplished far more than many with a thousand times her opportunities.

“The secret of success in life is for a ; man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.”—Disraeli. This is your oppor­tunity to do a good deed. W e will make this offer to every one who will send for her $5 worth of subscriptions, we will give one share of Oil Stock, which will be paid by our Manager, who has been helping this M other a good deal. She lives far up in the mountains of a western state, in a poor cabin, with a very unkind and cruel hus­band, and suffers for food and clothes for herself and children.

She does not even know of this Club, so she will no t.read this, but when your help comes to her, she will be told of it.

Books and PeriodicalsMISCELLANEOUS REVIEW

Stellar Palmistry.Pasadena. Cal.. Dec. 8 , 1910.

My Dear Mr. Hodges: I have carefully read Vol. 7 of your great work, Science and Kev of Life, Stellar Influences and Stellar Palmistry. I am astonished, as well as pleased, by the inexhaustible mine of wisdom uncovered by your research, analy­sis and compilations.

The chapter on Stellar Palm istry should be read by everyone, and the professional palmist who fails to read and m aster the science as clearly set forth in the 80 pages of Astro palm wisdom can not hope to com­pete with those fam iliar with your work. The tru ths contained in S tellar Palm istry should be taught in our common schools.

I desire to call especial attention to chap­ter 30, page 280 to page 287. in which you go to the core of the vibratory power of m atter and indubitably prove that there is but “One wisdom, the wisdom of the Stars, the One T ruth .”

I f my hearty iiylorsement of your book tends to cause a wider circulation and read­ing of the pure gold of wisdom contained in its pages I will feel that I have bene- fitted my fellowman by w riting my honest thoughts for publication.

Faithfully yours.Dr. Geo. W. Carey,

Denver, Col., Nov. 29, 1910. Henry C. Hodges, Esq.,

Detroit. Mich.My D ear S ir— Your letter of November

10th favoring me with a copy of Volume V II. of “The Science and Key of L ife” duly received. Although this volume is a small one, it is certainly a very valuable addition to your Astrological Series, particularly so that part showing the relationship existing between Astrology and Palmistry. I have been in this work for about 50 years, but I have never read a hand without ascertain­ing the birth-date, and I never give an Astrological oral reading from the birth- date without looking at the hand. There is beyond question a very strong correlation or relationship between the Signs and the Planets the individual was born under, and the hand. In fact, in the first place I have demonstrated positively that the hand and the lines of the hand are the result of Astro­logical influences, and these Astrological influences are so subtle that they play on the mind, and the hands, or the’lines in the hand, are really virtually speaking a map of the mind.

Your new book is certainly a very valu­able addition, and when it becomes known it m ust have a very large sale.

W ith kind regards and best wishes, Yours truly,

The Order of the While Rose.J. C. F. Grumbine, Founder-P resident.

(Instituted in 1893.)

"The Order of the W hite Rose” is an occult and mystic organization numbering many members in the new and old world. It is Rosicritcian. and is associated with a kindred organization on the spirit side of life. The Order on the spirit side of life assists and co-operates with the members on this side in doing the work of the spirit, assisting in the unfoldment of the psychical powers independently, consciously and with due regard .to the free, sane, healthy and spiritual life of its members. Indeed, they render m aterial'and spiritual help whenever necessary, and assist the earth members in attaining a high degree of development in spiritual force and powers.

The books published by the Order are inspired, and prove inspiration by revealing teachings which are not to be found else­where concerning the method of unfolding psychical powers. (The O rder was called into existence for this purpose). The proof is in the books and teachings themselves.

These teachings are original. Make no mistake in securing the original works of “The Order of the W hite Rose.” Mr. Grumbine wrote the first work on the Sci­ence and Philosophy of Clairvoyance, Clair- audience, Sensitiveness and Inspiration ever

written, and the priority of his copyrights in point of time proves this statement.

Clairvoyance.(Fourth Edition.)

By J. C. F. G r u m b i n e .Since the publication of Emanuel Swe­

denborg’s books, no more helpful, valuable word has appeared than the one entitled “Clairvoyance: Its Nature and Law of Un- foldment,” by J. C. F. Grumbine. I t is a system of inspired teachings concerning Divinity, especially Clairvoyance, and how to unfold the clairvoyant vision, to pierce the veil of sense, see and converse with spirits, enter at will into the spiritual world, and become a seer and an adept in this branch of mystical science.

R E C E N T B O O K N O T IC E S .“Your work is marvellous—epoch-making.”

—Lillian Whiting, Boston, correspondent to Chicago Inter-Ocean.

“ I consider the book oil Clairvoyance a most remarkable and practical work on develop­ment. It harmonizes well with the Hermetic schools of Philosophy, in which I learned the mysteries of adeptship.”—Prof. George W. Walrond, Astrologer.

“There has recently appeared in print an important and most instructive volume on ‘Clairvoyance: Its Nature and Law of Unfold- ment/ from the truly inspired pen of our gifted brother, J. C. F. Grumbine, who writes as the exponent of the Spiritual Order of the White Rose. The lessons, which constitute the volume are of great use'and interest to all who desire to familiarize themselves with both the clearest scientific view of Clairvoyance yet presented to the reading public, andi the most efficacious means of developing the fac­ulty in themselves by means of simple and very practical experiments, which many of Mr. Grumbine’s students in various places have found highly beneficial in many ways, besides being conducive to attaining the cen­tral object for which they are designed. All sincere students of the psychic realm will do well to read and study this excellent volume.” —W. J. Colville.

Published in cloth. Price, $1.50./ ^ “Easy Lessons in Occult Sciences,” second

edition, by J. C. F. Grumbine, is a neat book containing much very helpful knowledge not found elsewhere, on how to proceed to unfold the independent psychical powers without going into a trance or becoming obsessed. It is a text book for beginners who contemplate making the most of themselves, both in a human and a divine sense, and who realize that failure in the world is mostly due to

Dr. Cajc\) Saps—A man is a planet, plus hands and fcct.l

Men and women are world’s walking about and m anipulating or operating the Cosmic machine. T hat many people are not con­scious of their great importance as neces­sary constituents in Divine Economy docs not change the fact nor in any degree affect the proceedure of law.

Nothing satisfies the soul, permanently, but truth. All tru ths can be scientifically demonstrated, and when thus cognized, give satisfaction.

If I should s ta rt a new cult or ism. May the gods forbid, I would lay down the cor­nerstone as follows:

There is exactly as much disease as health and always will be. There are ex­actly as many deaths as births and always

T H E S T E L L A R R A Y . 5 1 9

will be be. There is exactly as much de­cay, tearing down or dematcrialization as there is growth, building or materialization, and always will be. There is exactly as much involution as there is evolution and always will be. Thus do we cognize equili­brium in the cosmic law.

“Right thinking” is mostly a question of opinion. T hat which one person thinks is right thinking another thinks is wrong thinking.

They Shall Shine as the Stars Forever.The distance of the nearest star—not a

planet—is estimated a t twenty billions of miles. This distance is so enormous that the mind is hardly able to grasp it. Light, with its astounding velocity of 191,500 miles per second.furnishes the only unit by which it can be measured and brought within small numbers. Suppose a ray to leave this star, traveling through space at the above prodigious rate, it would not reach the earth until the expiration of 1,218 days, or three

'and one-third years. We do not see a star as it actually is, but it shines with the lights, emitted three and one-third years ago. Hence if it were obliterated from the heav­ens we should continue to see it for more than three years afte r its destruction.

It had been considered probable that the average distance of a star of the first magni­tude from the earth is 986,000 times the radi; of our annual orbit, a distance which light would require fifteen and one-half years to traverse, and, further, the average distance of a star of the sixth magnitude— the smallest distance seen without a tele­scope—is 7.600,000 times the same unit, to traverse whicli light, with its tremendous velocity, would occupy more than 1 2 0 years. The conclusion is almost forced that we do not see the stars as they appeared within a few years, or even during the lifetime of a man, but with the rays which proceeded from them several thousand years ago.

Damages Awarded to Government for Destruction of Young Forest

Growth.In an action for fire trespass on the Black

Hills National Forest, brought by the U nit­ed States against the Missouri River and Northwestern Railroad, the ju ry has aw ard­ed damages to the Government not only for the loss of merchantable timber but also for the destruction of unm erchantable young growth.

This is regarded by Government officials as establishing a very important precedent.So far as is known at the U. S. Departm ent of Agriculture, it is the first time that any court has recognized what foresters call the “expectation value” of young growth as furnishing a basis for the award of dam­ages. The difficulty in the way of such an award in the past has been that there was no way to prove to the satisfaction of the courts the money value of the loss suffered.

The award in the South Dakota case fol­lowed the presentation of evidence as to the cost of work in reforesting which the Gov­ernm ent is actually doing in tlfe Black Hills.The amount claimed for the young growth burned was $12 an acre, and the claim under

5 2 2 T H E S T E L L A R R A Y .

this item was allowed in full by the jury. The total amount of damages claimed was $3,728.85, of which $2,634.45 was for mer­chantable timber destroyed or injured by the fire.

It is recognized by foresters that the cost of artificial reforestation will not always furnish a fair basis for estim ating the dam­age to forest reproduction. W here new growth can be expected by natural sowing from seed-trees on the ground within a short time, artificial planting or sowing is an unnecessarily expensive method. To meet such cases what are known as "yield tables” are being prepared. By the use of these the loss can be shown in terms of the final crop and the time necessary to produce it.

Thus, if it is known that ten thousand feet of timber per acre can be cut once in seventy years, it is easy to calculate the value of the crop when it is ten years old by discounting from its value when mature. In European countries where forestry has been long practiced, this method is regu­larly applied in selling, condemning,.or esti­m ating damages on forest property. It is also used abroad in insurance, which would be impracticable if there were not both an accepted basis for determining the loss suffered and a reasonably accurate knowl­edge of the hazard involved.

Justice N o tv and For All.BY H . S. LE VALLEY,

E d i to r " K a n k a k e e { II I .) T e le p s y c h is t ." The trumpet bids you on the arm or gird,

Reap in fields that have been by others sown,

At command, Divine, forth fs sent the note, Like call to arms in ages past was blown.

The ones that sowed where now you reap, Lie forgotten in the murky past,

They too battled forth, did noble deed,A t same duty call and trumpet blast.

B rothers: Time is and ever was,The acorn, but in miniature the oak,

We know swords been bought a t life’s ex­pense,

At last from secrecy is shorn the cloak. W eighty seals that bound both eye and ear,

From ages resting place away are thrown, Man grants Justice now to long-gone dead,

Let living fight, each mete to self his own.

IVhen Duly Leads.B Y GEORGE W. PRIEST.

W hen Duty leads rough is the way And toilsome, with its stones and clay; 'T is (Mainly marked, we cannot stray W hen Duty leads.

W hen Duty leads her face is hard,She seldom speaks a cheering word, / But offers peace as our reward—W hen Duty leads.

W hen Duty leads are idols burned O r from the barren pathway spurned; Pride has no place, or Self that yearned, W hen Duty leads.

W hen Duty leads are burdens laid Upon us; hands are stretched for aid.“We tremble, and are half-afraid,”W hen Duty leads.

V^licn Duty leads then fainter grows The sunlit vale of grass and rose;The path winds upward toward the snows W hen Duty leads.

W hen Duty leads our friends may rove, Some led by Joy, and some by Love,Nor seek the towering heights above W hen Duty leads.

, W hen Duty leads we fain would stray A moment from the beaten w ay; ^ But crowd the burdens of the day W hen Duty leads.

W hen Duty leads it may be true T hat Joy has, mocking, fled from view; And Love has sought a victim new W hen Duty leads.

W hen Duty leads, the way along The sigh will change into a song,The weary back grow straight and strong W hen Duty leads.

W hen Duty leads at first we ask For wealth and com fort; dropped the mask W e find peace a t a servant’s task W hen Duty leads.
