ignorance and superstition; and how can they meet the demands of an advanced civilization-impossible!

Children born in ignorance will not only perpetuate that same condition, but will also prove a detriment and a menace to the progress of our state and national welfare. If America is to rise, it must look well to the essentials necessary to the laying of a firm and lasting foundation.

EUGENIC SQUIBS

The Greeks would not permit cripples, paupers nor anyone with diseased blood to marry; neither would they allow two persons to be united whose astronomical forecasts were in opposition to each other; thus observing most strictly eugenic laws, they produced a pure type of physical perfection in the human body.

The day will soon dawn when society will consider it a crime for parents to bring forth children indiscriminately.

Intelligence applied to eugenic laws will rapidly change conditions. The ancients considered it a crime for children to be born. by accident; therefore coming into the world. unwelcomed. Think of being conceived and born into existence with such a heritage and yet more than nine-tenths are thus brot into the world.

Great and glorious as is motherhood, no sensitive woman wishes that responsibility forced upon her, for if she bears the burden, she is certainly worthy of the blessings that can only come to her thru voluntary motherhood. It is only thru volitional motherhood that the child can obtain a worthy heritage, and thus be assured days of happiness and felicity thru life. May the day be hastened when all the world shall know and accept this "open door" to the redemption of the human race.

It is the shameful abuse of the organs of procreation that has brot shame and disgrace upon the human family. God created all things GOOD and endowed man with intelligence that he might use, not abuse, them.

Mothers have you enlightened your daughters, and thus prepared them to meet the greater responsibilities awaiting them? It is from the lips of mother that daughter is to learn of the laws of life operating thru human nature, that she may be prepared to take up "where mother leaves off."

Since men and women are expected to find their happiness in one another, it is but natural that they should study the nature and characteristics of their opposites. Man should know all about woman and woman all about man. Mutual understanding leads to mutual agreement.

DEDICATION OF THE FEDERATOR

By the Rev. Dr. O. Z. A. Ha'nish,

Los Angeles, Cal., 9 p. m., Thursday, Feb. 7th 1918. The occasion was celebrated by a banquet given by Miss Nellie Wheelwright, President of the Society for the Promotion of the Federation of Nations, and Editor and Publisher of the Federator, a magazine devoted to the Cause of the Federation of Nations, with headquarters at 910 Third avenue, Los Angeles, California.

Present:

THE REV. DR. OTOMAN ZAR-ADUSHT HA'NISH

MISS NELLIE WHEELWRIGHT

THE REV. DR. GILMAN BEELER

COL. ARTHUR FITZROY GAULT

MR.. KURT GRAICHEN

MR. WILLIAM KONRAD SANDBERG

The following blessing was pronounced upon the food by the Rev. Dr. O. Z. A. Ha'nish: "It is with thankfulness in our hearts that we meet here at Cousin Nellie's Communion Table, not only to partake of her hospitality at this banquet so bounteously prepared and served, also that we may bask in the presence of the Light Divine. And may this cord that binds one and all continue to grow to such an extent that thru realization of the True

Light, greater possibilities of unfoldment may develop, leading us on to the path of Eternity. May each and every one continue in the good work revealing the infinite possibilities within. Amen."

The following response was made by President Nellie Wheelwright: "Think what it means to come together as those to whom it has been entrusted to carry out this great Message, this great work, of promoting the Federation of Nations. Our thot is that we may become a Great Family, typifying in ourselves the Family of Nations, each and everyone seeing in himself an important factor towards that end.

All of us know and understand that one alone can never accomplish such a work, or it would have been accomplished, long, long ago. We have not taken our places, we might say, and so conditions are as they exist today.

By our uniting, collecting, and federating ourselves, we are eventually to draw together the Twelve Great Tribes of the Aryan White Race into a Family of Nations, directed by the Big Four as the cornerstones of a stupendous Human Structure.

This is the occasion upon which we may receive light, counsel and guidance. And, indeed, we are truly grateful we are assembled here tonight.

We shall now let our light of understanding so shine that the very symbols of wisdom, typified by burning candles, vibrate thruout the realms of ether the Thot unto the Promotion of the Federation of Nations, singing softly-Peace, peace of abundance, shower, shower unto all."

Dr. Ha'nish continued: "There will be in the Federator an article: 'Washington's Wonderful Vision of America's Future.' Dr. Gilman Beeler will read it to us before it appears in the first issue of the FEDERATOR to be published February the 22nd, this year."

The repast was then served to the guests and Dr. Beeler read as follows:

WASHINGTON'S WONDERFUL VISION OF AMERICA'S GREAT FUTURE

(Originally published by Wesley Bradshaw, from a reprint in the National Tribune.)

The last time I ever saw Anthony Sherman was on the Fourth of July, 1859, in Independence Square. He was then 99 years old and becoming very feeble. But tho so old, his dimming eyes rekindled as he gazed upon Independence Hall, which he had come to look upon once more.

"Let us go into the hall," he said. "I want to tell you an incident of Washington's life, one of which no one alive knows except myself, and, if you live, you will before long see it verified. Mark the prediction. will see it verified.

You

"From the opening of the Revolution we experienced all phases of fortune, now good and now ill, one time victorious, and another conquered. The darkest period we had, I think, was when Washington, after several reverses, retreated to Valley Forge, where he resolved to pass the winter of 1777. Ah, I have often seen the tears coursing down our dear commander's careworn cheeks as he would be conversing with a confidential officer about the condition of his poor soldiers. You have doubtless heard the story of Washington's going to the thicket to pray. Well, it was not only true, but he used often to pray in secret for aid and comfort from
