| Show comments name ants I 1 our mail is light these days and pertains rt a i n s more 0 re often than not to pen conditions d 1 t io resmi in n the lives of those who are now going through great stress it is interesting to note that those who live in cities or who are in touch with outer world worl d affairs speak very differently about the time of prosperity as reviewed in newspaper accounts of improvement and the many indications of relief from the conditions of the past but even these printed accounts are often contradicted in the same issue and one has only to count the headlines telling of crime accidents and other forms of destructive tive and negative happenings to realize how truly the predictions of our bible and many other forms of prophecy are coming into fulfillment now our comments in this final issue will there therefore fare sum up conditions eions s in these brief words in a general way and use the remaining space to include a fine reprint from a new source we find that people everywhere are giving more and more to these changing times and we believe that our new effort to keep in touch with you will sarn st m interest therein as we offer cooperative thoughts or comment on letters we receive which may be helpful to you who are trying to understand the purpose of this general breakdown which is inevitable as we move toward the greater change to come in the twinkling ot of an eye and so cause the final destruction to be wrought before the he real up building of the future may get under way keep in mind that our friends I 1 are scattered throughout this land and that our paper goes into many states also that we are in touch with people in all walks of life as a result of the seven years of preparation thru which we have passed we are therefore equipped with material and knowledge of conditions concerning things relating to the past the present and future which we are happy to share with all who are seeking a way out of the present disorder and into a more promising future from an interesting monthly publication which came to our notice recently we take excerpts from a splendid article entitled A MEASURING STICK by cedric morris it is from such form of writing we will quote in our new column to appear weekly since there are so many fine things being prepared by those who are thinking constructively and who are searching for information pertaining to the past as it relates to the future this magazine is new to us and is called DESTINY a publication of the anglo saxon federation of america and deals with many biblical il prophecies in the old testament as well as the opinions of modern writers as in the following follow ng message all true progress is a matter of growth and comes about thru the outward expression of an inner urge the seed contains within itself the pattern or plan upon which the plant is destined to grow when planted in soil the growing plant takes from the existing conditions in which it is placed the elements of nutrition and energy which it requires and adapts them to its own needs in so doing it modifies and alters the conditions which formerly prevailed when we contemplate contemplate the processes of nature and observe the manner in which luxuriant growth takes place we see that from a great store of available minerals which the soil contains the plant takes only that which it needs at the moment for its growth and nothing more it does not take any anxious thought for the morrow or try to hoard its supplies ahead of time may not such considerations side rations teach us that the true order of growth from within pos aps that we too take from the bounty provided by providence everything that we need for our growth and leave the rest until needed as does the plant countless are the would be reformers who shout lets pass a law to correct this that or the other thing or condi 1 if the people upon whom the proposed law is designed to act are not ready for it mentally and emotionally tio nally the law will not only be disrel disregarded added and flouted but a negative attitude will probably be built up which will make the last state worse than the first prohibition was an excellent example of this principle in action but if the people are prepa prepared preparedly redby by education to appreciate the benefits that the law is supposedly de ca signed to give them then such law would be obeyed by the great t majority without question such education helps bobring to bring about the necessary growth from within to make for the acceptance of the principle the outbreak of a skin disease comes about usually thru internal causes to endeavor to treat the condition purely by external applications would be using construction st from without methods the internal cause would be considered side red and then removed by one u using sing the growth from within ideas the individual who seeks surcease from sorrow in the cup is trying by outward means to still the troubled mind that disrupts the peace of his soul when the temporary effects wear off the original cause is found to be still there and no adjustment from within has been cultivated to neutralize the adverse influence building from without is always a method of endeavoring to alter conditions it is working in the field of effects growth from within comes thru understanding the nature of the principle involved in the development of the conditions it is desired to change it is working in the field of causes |
