An Interesting letter has been received which deserve attention. Inasmuch i It relate to those vital questions of life which are of Importance In the construe tlon of character. The writer of the letter says ha i a young Jewish man, 86 years of Re, having no definite profession and having had wide experience for one of his years, and. as he says: "Suffering nearly every mortification and humiliation that It seems pos sible for one to suffer, and now becoming some whnt satisfied by i" i !h 7; 1 'looking Into the manifestations of occult thing.". Then the young man speaks as follows: "My ancestor, whom I can trace back for number of centuries, have all been renowned rabbi and kabballsts, most of Mhara having been credited with the per formance of miraculous cures, etc. So I suppose I naturaJly Inherit a desire for occult knowledge. In some of your ar ticles you make mention that If one de sires anything strongly enough nd puts forth hi beat effort toward the attain ment of It ha will certainly accomplish his purpose, or. In other words, you would advocate that one can absolutely change the material conditions which he Is fated to undergo. "However, Kmerson. In his essay on 'self-Reliance,' tells us to 'accept tho place the divine Providence has found for us. tli society of our contemporaries, the connection of events. Oreat men have always done o,' etc, etc. Now, this attitude of Emerson, also the attl- tude of Annie Besant In her book.

"If I am not Imposing on you I would like your personal opinion on the subject, a I am In a sense at the crossroads and can hardly distinguish between my in tuition and reasoning." 1 think the" young- man ha not read carefully tho articles which have ap peared In this column under my signa ture. Theosophy and new thought (as It Is understood by the writer) both claim only the possible In the matter of seIf-,KIvn, development and the changing of ma terlal conditions. The man born a dwarf could not change hi personality sufficiently to enact the rol of the matinee Idol, of Romeo, or of Samson. But that he can ao conquer and overcome his seeming great mis fortune to the extent of making his life a brilliant success was Illustrated In th career of the late Marshall Wilder, the world-famou humorist, lecturer and Im personator. All that la asked of each of us Is to take tha material and the conditions which life has given us with the time which belong to all and, out of these conditions, construct the very highest order of human being possible. One of the most successful men of the last cen tury and ona of tha moat noble phil anthropists waa a maif child left on the doorstep of an orphan asylum. Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Frank lin were both poor boy who alowly and painfully worked their way out of pov erty and obscurity Into the highest possi be positions of trust and Into Immortal fame. Not every ona of u possesses the brain and th natural endowments which belonged to these men. But whatever brain and whatever endowment wo do poseess can bo enlarged and increased by persistent thought coupled with per gistent action. It Is a curlou and In controvertible fact that whenever w think strongly and long on any subject Information from unexpected sources come to u on that cubject, and op portunities for futur lnvetlgatlon. It 1 almply th dynamic power of thought which blasts away th obstacles Intervening between us and our purpose, and biases the way toward the attain' ment of our desires. When wa are. a the writer of the letter above quoted says, thwarted and prevented absolutely from the ac complishment of soma purpose, it Is un questionably the hand of our Invisible Uulda trying to turn us Into the right path. But one who has true power and true ability In any on direction cannot bo diverted from that object, and obsta cle s are only hurdle which test his strength and skill. 1 There are foolsh and unwise ambition which ought to b thwarted.

Oddly enough these letters sel dom romps In of the two causes In fidelity and phys ical brutality ! which are the most commonly recog nised reasons for dlvorca In the eyes of th law. It la not the great aina against them that the women find It hard to forgive, it the little alns of meanness, and stlngyness, and neglect that break tha hearts of wive and make their live desolate. Tha husband In these cases la seldom a drunken beast or a gay Lothario. Ha Is juat tight-fisted, cia-raJnd, grouchy and urly-tempered, and h nag- and frets at his wife until ha drives her to desperation. Nothing she does vr pleases him.
