Balance VOID all strained and abstruse language, when conversing with people who may not have entered this realm of thought. Do not allow anyone to think of you as a lunatic, or a crank, un necessarily. Of course there are people in the world who consider everyone a lunatic who holds an opinion differing from their own. But it can do you, or your philosophy, no good to thrust its most difficult phases before the minds of the unawakened, by vague and high flown expressions. I once chanced to call upon a lady who had, quite unknown to me, entered upon the study of Christian Science. She remarked to me, almost as soon as the greetings were exchanged, "I had a claim to meet for three days this week, but I have come through it and am victorious. I supposed the lady referred to some business matter, perhaps a legal affair, and waited an explanation. After considerable rambling conversation, I managed to grasp the fact that the woman had been sick in the house three days, but now was well. She considered her illness a mere "claim" her "mortal mind" had made which she had to meet and combat. All this sort of talk is very ridiculous. We need not talk about every ailment which attacks us as we move along toward the condition of perfect health which belongs to us! But if we do speak of indisposition, let us use common sense language. What we want to realize is, that we are in the body, but that the spirit can control bodily conditions, if we give it the ascendency, to the extent of keeping us well, moral, useful, and comfortable even in the midst of sickness, vice, indolence and poverty. We can rise above these false elements, and subjugate them. Meanwhile we cannot live without food, clothes and money. Despise and ignore these vulgar things as we may assume to do, we yet must have them. It brings only ridicule upon ourselves and our ideas to make this pretense of despising the necessities of life. To make them secondary in our thoughts to spiritual knowledge is right and wise, but this is better illustrated by our lives and conduct than by our words. 4 Bible Year Book of The New Thought.

BY FRANCES Partlow. THIS "HIS remarkable book, which will not be issued until March, is a spontaneous tribute to our teaching by one who grasped the central truths of New Thought intuitively, and without a human guide. To some of us knowledge is a simpler process, comes more swiftly than by study, and in this book the singular success of a system of child culture, which was evolved unaided by the writer, and yet which runs exactly parallel with our New Thought teachings is apparent. It is a delightfully companionable book. You feel in reading it that the writer is simply telling her experience in the training of her children, and it is beautiful to note how the result is logically what it should be under such guidance. The book is sorely needed by many parents who ask for just such a guide. Silk Cloth, Purple and Gold. Price, $1.00, postpaid. The New Thought Annual, Year 1902. WE have been astonished at the demand for this volume. So much so that in justice to the public we have gathered it into a single book and bound the same in cloth, instead of offering it in two half-yearly volumes with paper covers as heretofore. We have also included the December, 1901, number. That number in which Mr. William Walker Atkinson began his writings for The New Thought Magazine, and which has proved to be the turning point in the lives of many ambitious men and women, who are now on the high road to success. For this change in their fortunes they thank Mr. Atkinson, giving him full praise for pointing the way. This work, therefore, contains December, 1901, and the twelve numbers of 1902, including courses of instruction in Self-Healing, Mental Science and every phase of New Thought Philosophy by such vital writers as William Walker, Atkinson, Elizabeth Towne, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Uriel Buchanan, Nancy McKay Gordon Sydney Flower and others. All original, copyright matter. Boiled down into one volume at a cost of many thousands of dollars. You get it all for 81.00, and we lose money on this book. But the price of our books must be uniform, so that we make no advance in price. There are 220 pages of reading matter in this book. Silk Cloth, Purple and Gold. Price, $1.00, postpaid.

Thought-Force (In Business and Every-Day Life.) By WILLIAM Walker ATKINSON. A WONDERFULLY vivid book answering the questions: Can I make my life more happy and successful through mental control? How can I affect my circumstances by my mental effort? Just how shall I go about it to free myself from my depression, failure, timidity, weakness and care? How can I influence those more powerful ones from whom I desire favor? How am I to recognize the causes of my failure and thus avoid them? Can I make my disposition into one which is active, positive, high strung and masterful? How can I draw vitality of mind and body from an invisible source? How can I directly attract friends and friendship? How can I influence other people by mental suggestion? How can I influence people at a distance by my mind alone? How can I retard old age, preserve health and good looks? How can I cure myself of illness, bad habits, nervousness, etc. "Thought-Force" gives an answer to questions like these. The book has been universally commended for its clearness and simplicity. Bound in Purple Silk Cloth, Gold Lettering. Price, $1.00, postpaid. Nuggets of the New Thought By WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON.

A MASTERLY work dealing with two phases of development: the mental showing forth in self-control and force of character: and the spiritual as taught through Zoism, the new mental science. This book makes plain that which is known as the Law of Mental Currents, and teaches much that is new to the student of metaphysics. It is clearly and simply written and has been warmly endorsed by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Series "B" Silk Cloth, Purple and Gold. Price, $1.00, postpaid. THIS is a book for physicians, dentists, osteopaths and professional nurses particularly, inasmuch as it deals with the theory and practice both of suggestive therapeutics and magnetic healing. It is intensely practical, and gives the clearest directions how to proceed to induce the state of passivity necessary for the curing of diseases by these means. It is considered by all authorities to be the most complete work, written purely for instruction's sake, ever put out. It is well illustrated. Silk Cloth, Purple and Gold. Price, $1.00, postpaid, |
