“ NOW ”BY MARY EUPHA CRAWFORD
Fallow OF T H B ILLIMINATI
Typo-Cultorists by Mary £upha Crawford, is a piquantly stated treat ise dealing with methods of attaining the highest kind of development. It is a daintily printed and bound little volume, and conveys some admirable suggestions in a form impossible of wearying anyone.
The treatise takes the form of a dialogue between one Crito, and the Sophist. These two discuss the pro’s and con’a of mental, physical and spirit- aal culture, Crito declaring that *’ he is on the path of wisdom who learns from experience to co-ordinate the three in a poise that will assure the happiness and success of life in a healthy body."
Crito ia a sincere worker after perfection in all its forms, while the Sophist is a lazy pleasure seeker snch as we all know, so enwrapped in bis
advocatingOpulence.
Health, All this
I is a magazine Happiness and here and now.
Now is a journal of Soul Culture which includes the education of mao in the use of his spiritual faculties, the unfolding of Psychic Power and the development of Self-Control. Itii a Spiritual Messenger with food for the Soul, and is the leading New i Thought journal of the world. No I premiums, gifts or prizes with NOW; j I t S t a n d s o n i t s O w n M e r i t s .
A prominent real estate dealer of' this city has this to say in praise ] of NOW:
• • As NOW is edited by the * King Pen’ of so called New Thought Phil-1 oaophers. it ia consequently the beat new-peychology journal on earth; hence in order to keep abreast (in j reality considerably ahead) of the I times, I don’t' want to miss a single | number of that paper. It is invalo*
own way of thinking h e cannot se e I able ^ for the dollar herewith that the earnest worker enjoys his eBck-ed plea8e send NOW for thework far more than any fleeting pleas are to which the sophist is wedded.
Crito’s remarks a r e simple state ments of truth and admirably bandied. The Sophist talks a f t e r the manner Of his kind, ignorantly, thoughtlessly, sarcastically, withal sometimes rather wittily, but Crito rightly has the
coming year and forget it not. ” Sincerely,

THE TRIUM PH OF REFORMS.W A L L A C E D. M cGILL.
OS TSK lUl'MOM Editor ot T its Px. s is v
We are told by occultists that the evolution of life waves
when they have reached the human stage, is through, or by
means of various definite races or race processes. \ \ e find this
thought somewhat vaguely illustrated in the wot Id to-day by the
black, yellow and white races; but if we are to grasp its full
significance, we must think of the races- as ntigVny epochs in
evolution. Yet we are told that these great races overlap one
another at times, and while we, as Teutonic Caucasian:?, belong to
the Fifth Sub-race of the Fifth Root race, the Mongolians are a
remnant of the Fourth Root race known in tradition as the At-
lanteans. To be accurate we must think of the races, nor as
epochs in the chronological history of the world, but as epochs in the growth of individual souls.
Each race has a spiritual constitution which represents its function or duty in the work of perfecting spiritual egos The constitution of a race is an archetypal conception coming front the divine ideation of the Logos from which our evolution springs, and races differ merely as the violet differs from the rose Each race has its special work to do, and is divinely ordained and
E L T K A30|
fitted for it. Evolution is a most complicated interplay of forces and at every point, it is governed by spirit energy working both consciously and super-consciously. Nature is really hilozoic. While we are not prepared to grasp, fully, all that is taking place
in nature, or even in the special world in which we find ourselves, and the significance of much must escape 11s, it is yet most help ful to attempt to grasp as fully as possible, all that is within our reach regarding the universal principles and plans of develop
ment if we would hope to deal wisely with the great race prob lems of the present day. The truth of maximum importance to
us is that there are great races yet unborn that must come; and each new epoch in human evolution is to be established and its
problems studied and solved by special races of people fitted for the particular work they have to do. What is right or obliga tory for one race, may not be right for another, and each race has its spiritual ideals.
Humanity is now standing face to face with many difficult problems and is struggling toward the realization of many ideals some of which are but vaguely conceived by the most advanced leaders. He who would reform the world must ask this ques tion before he advance:—Are the new ideals and processes that I wish to have introduced, compatible with the existing spiritual constitution of the present race of people ? If not, there is no hope of success as far as the existing race is concerned. When a proposed reform is spiritually unconstitutional the only thing to do is to form a new race having a constitution with which it is consistent. It is possible at any time that a new race is com - ing into manifestation. What at times seem desirable reforms for the existing race may be the first d a w n of a race to come. We are told that tens of thousands a n d e v e n hundreds of thou sands of years are included in the e m b r y o n i c p e r i o d of great races. Here and there through history, e v i d e n c e s m a y come to the at-
E L T K. AI 1
tention of students that new races are being born, but high
discrimination is required in all such cases to determine whether
or not the new ideals that present themselves are the working
of a new constitution, or merely a more perfect realization of
that of the existing race. When this double possibility has been
clearly comprehended, the reformer is prepared to think wisely
in relation to the various reform movements among men.
W e find it illustrated in the Afro-American race. There is
a determ ined effort being made to work out a radical reform
among these people, and there is no doubt of its ultimate triumph.
The present question is merely one of right or wrong methods.
But it may be doubted whether or not the hereditary forces in
herent in the masses of the Black Race of America can ever be
fully harmonized with the spiritual ideals of Booker Washington
and other leaders. But if not a new race must be formed around
these ideals for they are right in themselves, and in time all of
the souls that are at present working out their evolution in the
Negro bodies will incarnate in it, and the old heredity will gradu
ally die out. H ere we clearly see that the race is the hereditary
forces inherent in physical bodies, and not the spiritual egos, for
the egos belong to no race and will work out their evolution
through all races attaining to the glories of the universal Broth
erhood of Man.
Am ong the Am erican whites there are also many antagon
istic race forces at work. W e will be able to examine only a few
of these. F irst with reference to socialism, we find that society
is organized on a principle of individualism and competition
rather than communism or co-operation. There is however, a
determined effort in many quarters to bring about the establish
ment of socialistic conditions. I t is far from certain that these
communistic ideals as expressed by Bellamy and others are at
all compatible with the spiritual constitution of the existing race
S I T K A
emlsodnneist until a new race with socialistic heredity h- formed in the normal biological manner. It is possible som e and yet not all people are ready for the benefits of ,.f ' ism. And in this case, if a new race is formed having
instincts in its heredity, only such souls will incarnate in - are ready for this class or kind of experienc es ox benefits \\ races may dwell side by side and escape the notice of the su^ ncial observer, as externals may be much the same.
Second, we see that the western civilization is organic according to a particular system of theology, and while within this theology there are numerous creeds yet all taken together are radically different from the systems of philosophy that grew up in India. The past quarter of a century' has witnessed a re markable growth of oriental ideas in America. The New Thought movements have occultism in common, and the tendency is v> take an entirely different view of Science, Life, and Nature to what is harmonious with the current heredity of the present race It is probable that the constitution of the western civilization will not harmonize with the new ideals, and it will be found in this case as in the other cases mentioned, to form a new race representing an entirely new type of mental culture. When
such a race is formed, all those worthy of the new ideals will in carna te in it and constitute its members.
Great changes can only come through new races, and instead of becoming disco*, raged on this account, it is merely important that we investigate the principles fundamental to the formation of new races Races like individuals grow from babyhood to maturity. We may mould the nature of a child easily, but psy chologists tel! us that an individual after reaching the age of twenty five or thirty years rarely undergoes a radical change of the habits either erf thinking or acting. In a sense his habits are fixed for ;ife it is true £cat khy strong character may by
K> A 33I L l
force of will adopt new ways by a process of grafting, but this human grafting hardly succeeds as well as m horticulture, and the new ways rarely become natural or sub-conscious to the individual.

The Truth About the Colorado Labor War.B Y C H A R L O T T E T E L L E R .
The “ Ethical Record” for July contains the following article which is by far the beat that has yet come to our notice upon this subject; We include the prefatory remarks
of the editor, Percival Chubb.
(There are many people who have been following with some apprehensiveness the reports in the daily press concerning the labor struggle that is taking place in Colorado. It has been very difficult to gain the facts, and there have been sinister rumors abroad as to the reliability of the newspaper reports and articles through which information has been supplied. The anti labor bias with which most of them have been colored has been unmistakable. An opportunity has come to us to present an article from one who has recently been at the scene of the trouble, has made searching investigations there, and is familiar with the facts as to Colorado mining life, localities and conditions. The sympathies of the writer will easily be discerned; but we are able to assure our readers that behind these sympathies there is a most disinterested endeavor to ascertain the actual truth of the case; and we believe that we perform an important public service in giving publicity to this version of a much-obscured situation. —E d. E th ical Record.
When the secretary of the Western Federation of Miners sent a request to President Roosevelt for an investigation of the conditions now existing in Colorado, he was making a final ap peal for a fair and just understanding of a momentous conflict. Senator Patterson, as early as last November, asked for an investigation by the Judiciary Committee of the United States
H 1, T K. A 1C
Senate; but he asked in vain. Since then condition# have be come much worse, and it seems unbelievable that they should continue longer without some interference from those in author!* ty and responsibility.
The garbled accounts of the strike in Colorado arc not peculiar to this one affair, but they arc significant of the power of the press for good or evil Had the associated Press given all the facts to the public, had the press of Colorado refused to falsify reports, and had the special writers sent by Eastern peri odicals written fairly and with perfect truthfulness, public opinion would, months ago have affected the controversy and might even have had a restraining influence upon the party whose acts have been from the beginning unconstitutional.
The newspapers of the State may well be overlooked; for as there is a political situation involved, each newspaper would pick and choose both facts and rumors that would bear out its party policy. With few excepticns the Colorado jrapeis art: not in sympathy with the strikers, even when opposed to the Citizens Alliance and Mine-Owners’ Association; the few exceptions are Socialist and labor papers, and one Denver paper whose partisan ship has a dark and hidden motive. The Associated Press may excuse itself for the absolute untruths and the emphasis upon certain rumors by pointing to the practical censorship exerted by officers of militia and state officials backed by the Governor's power. But there can be no excuse for the special correspon* dents of Eastern papers and periodicals, and it is well worth while to go over some of the facts misrepresented by them.
In an early February issue of Collier's Weekly there appeared an unsigned article dealing particularly with the strike in Telluride, Colorado. If the story had been intended for fiction of the dime novel sort it could not have been better written For instance, the writer said that in the last three years there
had been eighty-five murders in Telluride, and that men were
afraid to go out after dark. While in Telluride a few weeks before this, I had cross-examined the city attorney, the sheriff
and the back files of the leading paper, and proved to my satis faction that in spite of the town being a typical Western mining-
camp, there had been but three murders in three years, and
not one of them could be traced to union members or union
influence! I have reason to believe that the author of that
article was a correspondent that I met in Trinidad, who was
“ getting a story ready to please the Easterners, who like blood
and thunder,” and was at the same time writing for a paper on
the side of the strikers and for a weekly paper on the order of
Tow n Topics, whose vindicativeness against the strikers has
never been equalled. And this young man was, withal, a very
well-mannered, pleasant fellow, not at all concerned about his
double—or triple—facedness.The managing editor of one of the Denver dailies told me
the story of three suicides, all connected with the Rockefeller
assumption of control in the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. The vice-president, secretary and treasurer had all committed suicide within a few weeks, apparently because of financial
complications not altogether in line with business principles.** But of course we did not publish these facts,” he said at
the close of his narrative, “ it would hurt the business interests of the state.” The Associated Press did not publish the story of these tragedies, nor did H arper’s W eekly when I sent it in with my article on the coal strike in Southern Colorado.
These are but instances of the untrustworthiness of reporto- rial practice in the Colorado affair. But the most striking example is that of news suppression in the best-written and most widely read article appearing in M cC lure's M agazine. “ The miner’s union,” the author says, near the beginning of the article, “has
broken the law, there have been dynamiting and assassination.” Having been in the State somewhat longer than the man who made that statement, I can affirm, without going into particulars, that I could find no one instance of the miner’s union in the metalliferous district having broken the law. Moreover, in the courts themselves, the charge of dynamiting was disproved. In November the Vindicator mine was dynamited and two men, the superintendent and assistant, were killed. The report sent out by the press was to the effect that Adjutant Sherman Bell was already on the track of the ltnion men who did the deed. Though man after man was put in tne bull-pen and held for weeks on the charge (but without warrants having been issued) no union member has been connected with the disaster; the coroner’s jury gave a verdict of accident, and the prevailing opinion was that the two men who met their death knew more of the dynamite and its reason for being taken by them into the mine, than any others, except the one who gave the order. But no report was ever made by the press except that of Adjutant- General Bell’s assurance that he knew the criminals.
Another event left out of the magazine article (which is af ter all, the best thing yet written) is that of the derailing of the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad. The news went all over the country that two union men had tried, by loosening a rail, to wreck a train full of scabs. In court it was proven that the two men, one an ex-union man, the other a detective, were in the employ of a corporation and had received # 500 for the ir work. A company guard had warned the engineer of the train, thus preventing loss of life while accomplishing the company’s purpose.
No reporter of facts in Colorado can afford to leave those two stories untold, yet the writer in McClures has done so. Anyone knowing that the Mine-Owners’ Association and the
K L T R A
Citizen’s Alliance, made up of the wealthy and the Wo„ I business men of the State, will countenance the use <>f t l y n ' I the wrecking of trains, as well as the suspension of th.» -'' I
s '” 'vni (,jhabeas corpus, and the disregard of the National constitur I can judge for himself as to the preponderance of lawless- I in Colorado—whether it be on the side of men striking in accord I anee with union principles or on the side of opposition, who have their wealth, the use of military power, and official favor all with them.
The late facts of the situation are these: The Western I Federation of Miners has in its membership a large proportion j of Americans who believe in using the ballot to settle disputes, I economic as well as political. It supported the movement which I resulted in an amendment to the State constitution allowing the I eight-hour day to be adopted by law. This amendment passed I with a majority of 40,000 votes—which happens, by the way, to I be the membership of the Western Federation of Miners ini Colorado. But the legislators—in the Democratic as well as I the Republican party—sold themselves to the corporations, and I enacted no eight-hour law. Thereupon the miners, not getting! their way by the ballot, resorted upon one pretext and another!
to the strike.There is no sympathetic strike in Colorado, there is a gener-l
al strike in favor of an eight-hour day and for the right of men I to organize.
The big mining corporations, reinforced by all persons and parties that are in favor of the eisruption of unions, have taken their stand against the strikers. To show the power of this opposition: 1. The Governor had pledged his support of their side should a strike come on during his term of office. When it did come, he sent the militia to act—not in behalf of public sccuaity,—for no sheriff had asked for the militia, —but as com
E L T K. A 39
puny guards about the: m ines. 2 . Men have been arrested by the score without warrants, and left twenty-four hours in filthy jails without food or benches or fire. Men, sixty and eighty at a time, have been taken from theit own property and carried over the county or state line because they belonged to or sympa thized with the union. Women have been insulted by members of the militia. 3 All legal procedure in the courts themselves has been set aside when it was impossible to browbeat or cor rupt the judges. Injunctions have been disregarded and the writ of habeas corpus denied its power. 4. Physical force not unlike that of the lynch-law has been used by the Citizens’ Alli ance; it has broken into newspaper offices, forced sheriffs and coroners to resign, and shot down innocent men
At this writing the state of Colorado is blacker than Russia. I say this without heat or prejudice, as one who met both the governor and the officers of the Western hederation of Miners, one who listened to both sides of a story, and then sought facts. But this one bit of explanation is necessary. The conflict be tween corporation power and union strength would not be so intense were it not for the fact that the unions have entered into politics with a third party—the Socialist Labor Party—and are therefore considered of little value to either Democrats or Republicans. That is to say, the members of the unions are not to be counted on to swell a majority in either of the two existing parties, and thus it is that it is not worth while for either party to stand up for “ the Colorado workingman.” Had not this political factor entered into the situation, there would have been an early conclusion to the struggle, which now begins to look like civil war.

Scholars and scientists of the present century must dispel all doubts as to the reality of hypnotism and its claim for a place among the sciences of to-day.
The earth has passed through many conflicts and disciplines during the last one hundred years; though, on the whole, the greatest of all conquests for humanity have been more in a
E L | K A 43
moral or ethical sense than on th e physical p lane. Theteeth century has made h is to r y th a t can never die, for iit has
brought to earth the most w o n d er fu l reve la tion s o f th e h 1cmansoul, and given light on im m o r ta lity tha t can n ev er b e quenc hed.
We have learned from h u m a n ity th e nlature of tn O U c ff i t and
that we must study the patient and not the disease. According to this, the study in the clinics, of the old methods were all wrong, so far as medicine is concerned.
We find it merely a reaffirmation of the spiritual as a thera- peutic agent. A variety of that form of “ spiritism” known by us as psycho, or mind therapeutics familiar through the writings and works of Liebault, Charcot, Bemheim and others.
Men of science tell us that nature is evenly balanced on positive and negative principles; that the positive seeks the negative and the negative the positive, in all conditions and forms of life. When we think we do not, indeed, know what goes on in the brain; but it is certain that in the complication of nerve fibres which we call brain, some sort of a force is active. The occultist asserts that these forces, like all forces of nature, are able to operate at a distance and ascribes to them various wonderful acts. Tyndal said: “ Matter contains the potencies and possibilities of life.”
Crookes says: “ Life contains the potencies and possibilities of matter.” One of the greatest disadvantages under which we labor in the investigation of hypnotism and kindred subjects, is the inability to conceive of an unseen reality, an actual existence, which makes no impression upon the physical senses. Herbert Spencer tells us that the force that is manifested in the Universe around us, is the same force as that which wells up in ourselves under the form of consciousness.
Medicine has always recognized that the mental state of a patient influenced the course of his disease, and while it would
not overcome organic changes it would lighten his sufferings, ^ add to his ability to overcome the influence of disease.
I think that we may say that the more a man’s actions are the result of impulse rather than reason, the more susceptible he is to external influences, and, therefore, to suggestive treatment We find the class of diseases which can be the most favoably influenced by it, are mainly functional disorders, that have be come chronic, and are grouped under the term, “ neurosis,”— such for instance as functional paralysis, asthma, St. Vitus’ dance, nervous headache, retarded menstruation, spinal irritation, hys teria, constipation and many forms of dyspepsia. The opium habit, the excessive use of tobacco and other narcotics. Also in chronic diseases where pain is a potent factor it has been used
with benefit.The progress during the last twenty years in the healing of
disease by hypnotism, and by other psychical means, has been so decidedly marked that not hundreds, but thousands of persons are now living who have been relieved from said afflictions by such methods. Nor are the cases few, in which relief has been given after all ordinary modes of treatment had failed for years.
Upon research I have found that Doctor Wetterstrand, of Stockholm, has used this method of treatment in seven thousand cases, Doctor Bernheim, of Nancy, in twelve thousand cases. Both are strong indorsers of it. The latter unhesitatingly de clares that “ the study of hypnotic suggestion should be made obligatory in all medical schools; that a physician who in these days ignores the psychical element in disease, and is ignorant of the part it plays in pathology and therapeutics, is no better than a horse doctor, and should confine himself to veterinary practice.
1 am well aware that the medical or scientific phase of the explanation will not cover the whole field. Doubtless, science
E L T K A 45
is unable to offer a reasonable view of their causation. But it is a dangerous practice to fly off into the region of the unknown and to people it with phantasies because science may not be able to place her finger yet awhile, on the exact cause of alleged miracles and supernormal wonders. The scientist, however, has learned the lesson of patience as well as that of hope; and more than ever in the region of the brain and its ways has he cause to reflect that the superstitions of to-day assuredly tend to become the commonplaces of to-morrow.
Tuberculosis and Preventive Legislation.BY CLARK B EL L , Esq.
F e l l o w o p t h e I l l u m i n a t i
Member of the New York Bar, Chairman of the Executive Board of the International Congress on Tuberculosis.
The all-absorbing topic, that of commanding and supreme interest before the American International Congress on Tuber culosis, next Autumn, will be the foremost question that has been presented to the students of Medical jurisprudence, in our century, or the one just closed.
If it be conceded that Tuberculosis is infectious, or commu nicable from one person to another, there can be no graver prob lem presented to the race than that of how far intelligent and carefully devised legislation can be used for the protection of human life, from that form of disease, which now numbers more victims than any other form suffered by mankind.
Whatever may be the result of the controversies of the Pathologists and the Bacteriologists, or whatever light may be thrown upon the questions; by the students of these subjects, by chemists, the scientists, or students in all the professions, or upon the problems of human and Bovine Tupercnlosis their relation
46 H L T K A
to each other, or their communicability; whether K o c h or ]
ring, or the abler students now engaged in the laboratories of
the world, on the disputed questions; all these p r o b le m s and
controversies sink into insignificance, when we are confronted
by the fact conceded and asserted by all, that co n su m p tio n is
communicable, and that the intervention of the law becom es a
necessity, for the protection of mankind from the ravages of this
awful, this terrible disease.Preventive legislation against Tuberculosis, will, therefore,
be pre-eminently the question above all other questions, at the
St. Louis Congress, in October next. It is not in any sen se a
Medical question. It is more a legal question than a M edical
one. It demands the highest legal and legislative ability in its
elucidation.The statesman, the legislator, the scholar, besides the law
yer or the physician, can find in its solution questions demand ing his best endeavor, his highest talent. The legal profession has not given to these issues that attention their great importance demands.
Inter armes silent leges seems to have been a partial explana tion of the apathy of the leaders of legal thought. They have not been conscious of the tremendous loss of human life in the conflict with Tuberculosis, that has gone on a r o u n d them, even when it touched them and the dead have dropped at their very side unnoticed and almost unthought of into that remorseless river, strewn with its victims, from the hearth stones of every family in the whole world.
The apathy of the Bar- is amazing, it is inexcusable. The Bar should act and be aroused to action.
It is easy to throw off responsibility and to shift it on the Medical profession. This responsibility should not rest on Medi cal men Their professional duty is to treat the disease- to call
E L U A 47
public attention to its communicability; to arouse public senti ment, and to educate the public mind to action. '1 bis the Medi cal profession has done and is doing and doing well. They cannot be asked to frame laws, and secure their passage. They can give advice on the medical questions involved, their experi ence in the treatment can be utilized in preventive legislation, and the fault of public apathy cannot be justly laid at the door of the Medical profession.
The campaign before the American International Congress on Tuberculosis, is therefore, pre-eminently a campaign of educa tion, not alone of the masses of the people, but of the professions of both law and medicine, on the two great issues, not only,
1. To educate all, as to the necessity of suitable legislation to arrest and resist the spread and ravages of the disease, but
2. To educate and influence public opinion among all classes of our people, so as to secure the passage of wise legislation, through legislative bodies’ quite outside of partisan political con siderations; and to so strengthen public opinion, as to compel and sustain the authorities in the enforcement of such laws when once enacted.
That such issues should be limited to Medical men only, and all others barred, is to absurd and untenable to even discuss.
The American Congress on Tuberculosis was organized by the Medico-Legal Society, in 1900, and combined both profes sions in its labors.
It has met annually since and continued its work along the same lines; that body meeting in joint session with the Congress, at its sessions.
Now, that its work has the splendid recognition of the United States Government, who has sent out its invitations through the American Secretary of State, to every Government in the Western Hemisphere, requesting such Governments to

THE “WIDOW’S MITE.”
Dr Funk’s Conclusions regarding the incidents described is the last number of Bltka.
Also an editorial note concerning the Sub-conscious Mind.
1 believed the coin had been returned. This was not a case it forgetfulness, as my belief was based on the natural thought that my instructions for its return had been carried out.
Mr. B. F. Funk’s belief that the coin had been returned was also not a case of forgetfulness, as he, too, believed that his instructions had been obeyed.
Mr. Raymond’s (the cashier’s) belief was a case of forget fulness. He intended to return it but forgot to do so.
Both Mr B. F. Funk and myself believed that we had used the West coin in the making of the dictionary plate, and we had no thought or suggestion from any source to the contrary Unti
E L T K A 49
the information came through the spirit control that the correct, coin—the black coin—was the one we had not used, and then we were sure that the spirit control was in error. We did not yield this point until after we had received the above mentioned letter from the Philadelphia mint.
No talk or question, not a word, led up to the direct inquiry from the control about the coin, and this is true also as to the questions and answers given which made mention ot the black coin as the one to be returned.
All efforts failed to secure from the spirit control on three succeeding evenings the name ot the person trom whom the coin was borrowed and the name of the person to whom it was to be returned.
“The Widow’s mite” is a rare coin; there are but few of what are known as “ originals” in existence; not one man in ten million has one in his possession, and the great probabilities are that I was the only man out of the sixteen hundred millions on the earth who had borrowed one and failed to return it.
The naming by the control of Mr. Beecher as one interested in the coin’s return—a man who was a close friend of Prof. West from whom it was borrowed.
The designation as the right coin that one which had not been used in the making of the dictionary. As there were but two coins, this might have been guessed; yet imitations of an cient coins are usually colored black.
The correct designation of the owner as one who had been connected with “a ladies’ school” “ on the Heights” “ in Brook lyn.”
It was in the memory of Mr. West, myself, the head cashier, and Mr. B. F. Funk that the coin had been borrowed.
It is possible it was in the subconscious memory of the cashier, Raymond, that he had not returned it.
JE L T IC A
It may have been in the sub-conscious memory of the assist ant cashiers that they had seen in the safe the envelope with the inscription on it: “ This envelope contains two widow’s mites.”
My memory was that I had ordered the coin returned and I had never known the contrary; that I believed the coin had been returned, and I was the only one at the sitting who could have known that the coin had not been returned; hence in what possible way could the facts have been in the sub-conscious mem
ory of any one present ?Had the medium’s sub-conscious mind discovered, among
the millions of things written on my sub-conscious memory, the fact that I had once borrowed such a coin, it remains to be ex plained how she knew that I had not returned it. My sub-con scious memory bore testimony to justify the opposite.
There is no probability that the medium had ever met the cashier, the only man on whose sub-conscious memory could have been an impression that this coin could have been borrowed and not returned. How could she have picked him out from the millions of other men in the city of New York ? Had she suc ceeded in thus picking him out, then she would still have had the further task before her of finding out from the millions of impressions on his memory this inscription about “ The Widow’s
It the professor was interested in the return of the coin, it is likely that he would have remembered that I had it, and would have deemed it probaole that it would be found in my safe; then by clairvoyance he could have thus located it and then the rest could be followed.
If communication between the spirit world and this world is possible and desired by spirits, it is quite likely Mr. Beecher would have been willing to have helped to turn this matter into
Mite.
E L T K A 51
such a proof of intercommunication between the two worlds as
would arouse wide attention.Why was not the test completed by giving the name of the
person from whom the coin was borrowed, and of the person to
whom the coin was to be returned ?
To us the case of Dr. Funk and the Widow’s Mite has been
remarkable for one fact only. As has been illustrated in his
argument, he was in all probability the only person on earth
who had ever borrowed a “ widow’s mite” and failed to return
it. All other points in the case have been repeatedly dupli cated, and for that matter improved upon. While we are not fully prepared to explain how the medium gained the know
ledge of this particular circumstance, yet it is certain, and must be evident to all who have given this subject any special study, that the conclusion of Dr. Funk, in one particular at least, must be wholly mistaken. He says that the medium could not have known from his sub-conscious mind that the coin had not been returned, because his sub-conscious memory bore testimony to
justify the opposite. It is a well known fact, to all students of psychic phenomena, that we do not and can not know just what our sub-conscious memory does contain. To know that the sub-conscious mind does not take cognizance of any specific fact one must know a ll it does contain, and if such were the case it would not be a sub-conscious but a conscious memory. While we do not say that the medium received the intelligence from such a source, we do insist that Dr. Funk’s sub-conscious mind may very easily have known all about it, and probably did. In no case whatever can one be positive that a certain fact is not in one’s sub-conscious memory.

Notes and Comments.
In the next issue of Eltka will begin the most important and authentic work of its kind that has ever been given to the public. In a series of articles upon “ The BrotherhoId o k
Wisdom” Prof. Karl H. von Wiegand, Fellow of the Illuminati will give the history of all those mysterious orders and occult societies which have from time to time in the history of the world risen into power and been the custodians of the secret doctrines and mysteries that from the beginning were the exter nal and symbolical expressions of the highest spiritual and
psychic realities.This “ Brotherhood of Wisdom” NOW IS and always has
been, but only occasionally has there been an organized recogni tion of the fact. It is then there springs into being an order, brotherhood or institution which, composed at first of only a few earnest ones who know, gradually draws to it all those who come to recognize the Divine Brotherhood of all humanity, and the Higher Laws of its unfoldment.

It is neatly bound in both green and red cloth (emblematic of the society) and is a book that all book-lovers and those interested in the New Thought will greatly prize. (See Sept. El t k a for an extended quotation from this grand work.)
As to “ Soundview” here is what Nancy McKay Gordon, the gifted author of the “ Majesty of S ex .” says of it: “ There are very few of the periodicals that reach my desk that I have time to read, but ’Soundview,’ with its wit and under current of earnest ness, as well as its outspoken honesty of purpose, always receives nay immediate attention. May it long prosper and send forth its scintillation of the good and true.”
All readers of E l t k a are thinkers they should send I 1.00 a year, ten cents a copy. On sale at all news stands.

The members of the Crucible Club have been at work on the problem of Telepathic Communication for several years. They have not found out all about
it, but they have carried their investigations and experi ments to a point where the entire practicability o f
thought communication independent of all material meant has been fully demonstrated. The results are embodied in a course of nine correspondence lessons in Practical Telepathy, supplemented by direct individ ual instruction. Any one with brains and ambition enough to learn anything may learn Telepathy easily and quickly by studying this course. Terms reason able.
