—_— The Sub-Self | By the Rev. Thomas B. Gregory Copyriaht, 1918, by The Prese Publishing Co. (The New York ning World) | ON'T ask me what the Sub-Self is. I will not tell you; and I will not| tell you simply because I do not know what the Sub-Self is. But this I know—and every thoughtful person knows it, too— that there are great deeps within us of which we have a very slight knowl- edge, deeps out of which mysteries now and then well up that simply stagger us, For instance, the great Agassiz was trying hard to decipher an obscure impression of a fossil fish on the stone slab in which it had been preserved. Putting his work aside out of sheer weariness, he fell asleep, and In a} dream he saw his fisi with all the missing features perfectly restored, but | when he awoke and tried to make the image fast he found it had escaped him | ‘Tho next night he saw the fish again, but again ft escaped him when he | attempted to catch it. Hoping that the vision might be repeated on the third night he placed | @ pencil and paper beside his bed before retiring, Sure enough, the fish reappeared in his dream, confused at first, but at last with such distinctness that he had no longer any doubt as to its zoological character. Stil) half dreaming, he traced the characters on the sheet of paper at bis bedside, and in the morning he was surprised to find in them Just the features be thought the fossil itself should al. He bastened to the Jardin des Plantes , with his drawing as a guide, sacceeded in chiseling away the surface of the stone, under which por- tions of the fish were found hidden, When wholly exposed it corresponded perfectly with his dream and his drawing, and he was able to classify it with ease. This marvellous story is vouched for by the great naturalist’s blog- Tapber, and there is no room to doubt its entire truthfulness. And what a wonderful fact it leads us to, even the “Sub-Self,” as the sclentists have named it, self under the If, the big mind underiying the Httle mind, the great deep life down below the petty superficial life that occupies the most of our time, What mysteries we are! ‘The first timo I stood before the “hell of waters,” known as Niagara, I was impressed not so much by the great cataract itself as I was by the thought of the mighty Power behind the cataract, the silent, invisible ENERGY of which the Falls, with all their rush and roar, were but a feeble hint. ‘The Niagara behind Niagara! So 1s it, it seems, with ourselves. Behind and underneath and all about our little finite personal lite is the Infinite life, that pushes itself | {nto our experiences now and then as the ocean pushes perfodically Mto the bays and estuaries of the continents. Occasionally—as was the case with Agassiz—the self finds {tself in touch with the Sub-Self, the infinite intelligence, the Mind behind the mind ‘These communications are, for reasons we do not understand, rare at present, but may we not hope that the time is coming when they will be- come a matter of every-day experience; when the personal life shall be in | constant touch with the Infinite and its boundless resources?

If women would but appre- clate what a tre- mendous influence the clothes they wear have on their mind and body they would be a little more partic- wlar about some of those they ap- pear in early tn the mornt Something refresh- ing, tidy and pret- tily becoming should be arranged with as much con- sideration as any other of the day's clothes. The rest of the family as well as one's eclf receives the bene- fit, and if a de- lectable little affair like this is donned the appreciation from all gources will not be lack- ing, Practical women are prone to feel that such a garment is too frivolous, but they might be reminded that for the house- hold duties which ensue after break- fact a more prac- tical house frock is easily donned, and is indeed the J. right amd proper garb.
