of all life's forces-the creative energies. God will continue to herald thru His Eternal Chrystos these burning words of warning: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." There is neither time nor desire to dwell upon a world-wide destruction that carries in its wake, war, famine, plague, pestilence and all that has cursed civilization; for these are but the ripening of the dead sea fruit, whose seeds were sown in countless millions thru hideous defiance of nature's laws. Having sown to the wind, they must as a natural course of events reap the whirlwind. But the demand of the times portends more glorious things for the coming days. The Dawn of a New World opens before us, revealing the happy consummation of our nobler airs and higher ideals. The acceptance of Eugenics holds the solution to this world-wide problem and gives birth to a new order of things that shall bless mankind with the sweet realization of freedom and equality. May the spirit of understanding breathe enlightenment upon the minds of the people of America and of all the nations of the Earth bearing upon its wings of joyful fulfillment the glorious Sun-clothed Day. And still "in God we trust," altho even for that we have to pay. EQUALITY The call of the hour is for Perfect Woman. Yet in this same loud call may be heard a cry for Perfect Man, for who could draw the line of demarcation, since equality alone holds evenly the scales of justice? Does not man in his highest, truest, noblest self stand for everything that is brave, true and chivalrous? If the highest of all creation is the womanly woman, is not the manliest man equally the noblest representative of the creative intelligence? What folly to parley over that which stands out pre-eminently and undeniably fixed by a Supreme Intelligence thru divinely established law and order! That mankind has failed to recognize woman-the mother of men that they have failed to securely accord her the emulation which is already hers by a divinely inherent law in nature-reflects upon man's ignorance, does it not? Gold is only recognized as gold by the expert assayer, still the ignorant man continues to declare, "It is only brass." Yet all these declarations do not change the fact that gold is gold. Woman will continue to rise and assert herself and her rights, and all noble and right-minded men will not only rejoice in the day of her assumption, but they will take her hand and walk the path of ascedency with her, for with her rising every man also re ceives his call to "come up higher." Certain laws or customs have had a tremendous bearing upon society at large and exist simply by virtue of the same impetus that gave them their existence, namely, the law of common consent. Hence man has been given certain moral liberty which has had a pernicious and debasing influence upon society, hampering the equalization of a more desirable state between man and woman. The highest alone can give birth to the highest. The character of the father must be equally as moral as that of the mother, while mother claims her right to follow the guidance and admonitions of the silent monitor, the dictations of her own conscience, freed and unhampered from the slightest suggestion of those minds whose close proximity come within the radius of her own. What Parenthood-what a divine trust! a stupendous responsibility is entrusted to those consecrated and set apart for life's holiest mission! Holy Fathers are as much needed as Holy Mothers-from the unity of the holy twain shall come forth the third of the Divine Trinity-the Holy Child. Ainyahita says: "There is no defeat save in looking backward." Then forward, ever forward, toward the goal of attaining. Joy, youth and beauty are the flowers scattered upon the pathway. THE ROSARY If the world is lost and past all redemption, then let us devote our time and energies to the few whose longing and desire is still directed toward the highest and noblest in life. Not until men and women become acquainted with themselves individually, as well as collectively, will they be able to solve the deeper problems of life appertaining to happiness and success. The higher education of woman is the essential need of the hour, if the world is to be blest with the growth and development necessary to progression; for even this poor old world must be regenerated-born anew. Out of the ashes of disintegration she must arise. and come forth clothed in the garments of eternal youth and beauty that cannot fade or pass away. It is not to be expected that mankind in general will be able to give enlightenment upon the subject of Eugenics, nor the necessary knowledge regarding the proper relationship of the sexes. For such guidance we must turn to those of greater intelligence who have made these subjects a life study and whose thot and consideration has been to aid and uplift humanity to planes of true understanding, where the light of wisdom may lead, guide and direct the energies of life toward the promotion of lasting happiness and felicity. Federation of Nations Edited by Nellie Wheelwright STUDY OF MAN Article XXVI Ancient writers who took for the basis of their calculations planetary influences, known as Astrology, divided the Aryan Race into twelve distinct tribes, attributing to each a particular attribute, supposedly drawing a line of demarcation, revealing special operations in conformity with infinite designs and not found in as great a measure among other races. With the advance of time these tribal demarcations have become quite evident, often leading to misunderstandings akin to those caused by the sharp lines of difference between other races. Thus tribes not only vied with one another, but each and every one struggled for supremacy, as would races struggle for recogniton. Such struggles suggested subdivisions among the tribes themselves until the number of such subdivisions, in many instances, grew equal to the number of races. Ancient writers considered the number twelve to signify completion, which would allow no change or substitution. Here, no doubt, may be found the reason for public |
