A certain little magailne which prides
Itxrlf upon Its scientific wisdom devotes
a fage or two each month to sneers and
enrcasm concerning "New Thought,"
"Mental" and
''Christian Bclence,"
nnd all the other
jihases of the mod
ern wholesome re
ligion replacing the
old melancholy
creeds of the past.
In one issue thla
mngazlno published
three portraits or
jiicturea of three
types of men. One,
the broad-h e e d c d
man. born with ab
normally developed
ncqulsltlveness, who
cannot heln helnar a
another, a nRrrow-headcd failure, who
cannot acquire wealth, because that por
tion of his brain Is lucking, and a de
generate type, who cannot comprehend
morality, from the same causes.
Then the editor breaks forth as follows:
"A New Thought" advocate asserts as
follows: 'I can do what other men can
do, and I concedo that any man can do
what I can do. To prove this, will the
(advocate pleaso write and send to us a
play or poem equal to those attributed
to Shakespeare, Byron or Shelley? Or
will he compose a symphony like Wag
ner's, Mosart'a or Beethoven's?
"Will he construct a steamship like the
Great Eastern, or will he produce a paint
ing like those of the great masters
Raphael and Rembrandt? Will he achieve
the results of Michael Angelo? Will he or
nny other "New Thought' advocate per
fform some feat which phrenology proves
I his organization Incapable of performing?
Then we will acknowledge that chickens
can swim as well as ducks, '
"This idea Is opposed by phrenology,
which insists that every man acts In ac
cordance with his organization and en
vironment; and that b reason of or
ganization and environment of different
men, what Is possible for one, man to do
. Is; utterly Impossible for another man,
endowed with a different' organisation,
to, accomplish."
Now, to the sensible student of "New
Thought" all this discussion seems very
pointless and foolish. The one fact which
Is ; necessary for human beings to learn
is. thla: Each normal man can attain to
tlikj very highest pinnacle of success in
his own line of development by concen
tration, assertion and application.
The first step la to lettm for what you
fir best fitted. If you are five feet or
lets in stature It Is folly to attempt to
jiloy the role of a viking; if you are a
woman of colossal size, with a Roman
nose, do not attempt to shine as Juliet
or Marguerite. If your whole makeup la
artistic, do not expect to become a
power In the financial world; and if you
possess markedly practical qualities and
abilities try to realise that you belong
In that plane and not In the arts.
Just here Is where the great influence

would try it. By the time I had taken

here Is where it Is of least Inn , .m-i
usually the greatest handicap to a child
Parents decide what their children shal
follow, and undertake to diive them i.
that direction, as a harder drives -hir
sheep. Instead of studying the taste (
temperament of each child Individually,
and calling In the aid of phrenology,
astrology and palmistry to aid in the
delineation of character.
There la no questioning the fact that
all people bom In a certain period of
time possess some tastes and qualities
of a similar nature. For Instance. I have
never known a peraon born under the
sign of Gemini who did not possess a
marked Inclination to do two things at
one time to stay In and to go out, to be
practical and artistic, to be sad and
merry, to travel and to remain at home.
I have never known a person born lri
Scorpio who did not possess latent talent
of some order In literature, muslo or as
a nurse or a physician.
Action and achievement are necessary
to them, or they become Invalids and
cranks.
In the dull routine of mercantile or
domestic life they are almost universally
failures. The parents of a Scorpio child
should find what bent its tastes and
talents take and then cultivate them.
But to people who have not been aided
by parents or science the "New Thought"
is a guldeboard pointing to the hilltops
of success. '
It docs not claim to maks a giant of
a pigmy, an orator of a man born dumb
It does not claim to make a Pattl of the
child born with no musical taste, or a
ballet dancer of the cripple.
What it does claim to do is this: To
make the pigmy happy In teaching him
how to be the moat useful and distinctive
of his class th dumb man how to attain
to the best expression of what he feels.
through other avenues than speech the
unmusical child and the cripple how to
lie useful and contented and happy' in
spile of what has been denied them.
Sit down each day a few moiuenU In

They can't, and they wouldn't eat it
If they could, for mother's bread and

as she had "luck" with her baking, not
Invariably good and sweet as is the

The old-fashioned mother did the best
she could by her children. Ho does the
modern mother. We are always hearing
about how the mocrn mother ni-glects
her children and how devoted the old
fashioned mother was to hers.
Let the statistics of Infant mortality
decide which of these two women is the
more desirable mother. The most pathetic
thing on earth is to go to any oountry
graveyard, and see the ros of little
graves In it, showing how the babies
died en the breast of these old-fashioned
mothers. Tho modern mother's children
do not die llko flies. 8he calLa to her help

The old-fashioned mother accepted her
mothorhotd with as little sense of per

of her hair, cr the ahae of her nose. If
children were strong and healthy, and
turned out well, she thankd God for It.
And If they were sickly and went to the
bad, she laid the blame of It on an in
scrutable Providence, whoee ways she
d'dn't pretend to understand.

children's health Is In her hands. She
knows that the mother largely determines
her children's future, and thst whether
they succeed or fall In life depends upon
the skill with which she guides them

mother studying child hygiene, study

For. with the modern mother, mother
hood Is a profession, not an Incident in
life as It was with the old-fashlone I

The eld-fashioned mother thought that
she did her duty by her children when
she fed and clothed them, and she wa
so busy about this that she ceased to be
an active factor In her children's life
when they had outgrown their physl-al
need of her. They still loved mother,
and she Influenced them Indirectly

As Sweet aa They Were, Their Methods
Would Be Flouted Now. : : : : :
The modern mother knows that her
boys and girls need her more at twenty
than they did when they were two months
old, and so she strives to Keep up with
them. She studies with them, she goes
out to parties with them, and dances
tho tango with them, so that 'she may
know Just what their temptations are,
and how to meet them. Many a mother
who la criticised for biting frivolous Is
UBlng that very frivolity as a velvet
glove to mask the grip of steel that
she has upon 'her hoys and girls, and
that holds them so tightly to her that
they cannot full.
The old fashioned mother used to stay
at home and I ray for her children. The
modern mother prays, too, but ehu alsj
watches, and she la not content with
being a motlnr to her own children
she tries to mother tho world and make
It bettor for every wuiiiun'a children.
The old fashioned mother waa a dear,
and a sweet, and she lives hallowed In
our memory, but if she could arise from
her grave In the churchyard and under
take to raise a family along the lines
that she did In her previous Incarnation,
her neighbors would send In a hurry call
for the Child's Welfare committee to In
vestigate her methods.
