Not so much has been said about this universal revolution in religious, or ifreligious, thought, but something needs be said about it. Today silly people are talking with what they believe are spirits — weak- minded women and senile men are hanging over the ouija board and breathless- ly follow its scrawling Thousands of otherwise sane folks are spreading the cards and reading the future, and when they find the spades predominating, and the misfortune por- tents prevailing, they are seriously disturbed; many times they are pushed to "disaster thru fear. This is folly, dangerous folly ; and some old-fashioned, humorous sanity is Meeded to bring us back to our old foundations, our simple faith in God and ur willingness to do our best and face the future without shrinking. To do our bit towards restoring sanity The Star appends a letter from.a subscriber. This is a homely, Josh Billings sort of a letter, that has a wonderful lot of sense and wholesome admonition in it. If you are dabbling with occultism and it has attached your eternal nanny, '¥ead this letter and cheer up and quit your foolishness. Seattle Daily St !

Civilization is Revolution. Those ngtions are stable which have the {genius of orderly Revolution. Those nations are unstable, and perish eventually, which cannot change. It is not refusal to change, opposition to change and inability to ange, that insure permanency. Quite the contrary; it is the skill to change easily. During the bloody period of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars, Eng- land underwent profounder and more ex- tensive changes than France. But the Eng- lish people understood the art of reform without violence. What we call evolution is simply Nature’s law of continuous, progressive Revolution. The true Revolution is Growth. Democracy is simply that condition of liberty, and freedom of movement, in which Revolution is constant and constructive. True and wholesome Revolution is a De- velopment of the Past; the growing and bursting of the Seed of the Past into the leaf and bloom of the Future. Hence, no Revolution is good and abides unless it has its roots in the Past So Jesus said, “He came not to Destroy the old law, but to fulfill.” And Americanism is simply a working out of the deep instincts of self-government in the Anglo-Saxon stock.

All true Revolutions are a return to truth and nature, and a clearing away of error. Hence they do not destroy, they conserve. Violence, force, progressive, they are slumps. We are coming to a better order, to more equa! just to the reign of conscience, to the supremacy of the Common Good, to real co-operation ; ‘we are learning team play, and | how to get along together as one big human family and not as cats and dogs.

And you cannot Build the third story if you tear down the second, We are Building the House of the Future, for our children’s children. We will have to be Courageous, and Work Hard, and to have confidence in the soul of the People and in that God who works out Destiny in terms of Righteousness. Wherefore, if you put away Violence, and Hate, and Vengeance, if you keep in mind that no Progress is continuous without Law, and that no House of the Future can be constructed without Faith and vast Pa- tience, you may sign yourself, Yours for the Revolution. . 300,000 DIVORCED PEOPLE IN AMERICA WHY? ; READ THE HEART OF RACHAEL A direct David Crockett, | | } LOOK FOR THE NAME BoneDry © ON EVERY SOLE vestment. out loud!
