Think this over, dear friends. We have brought you back to pure consciousness, to Spirit, which is all that you are. Let not your mind believe anything else. “For what you think and believe is so, is what manifests for you.”

Believe then that your body is God’s Holy Temple, and whenever you sit down to eat—no matter what is before you, let this blessing go forth from your lips:

“Holy Spirit, accept Thou this food. Bless it.
Let no wrong thoughts of mine hinder its perfect use.
It is for the building of Thy Temple;
Spirit to Spirit returns.”
Amen.

LESS THAN twenty years from the war that was to end war, the British government has asked for $4,500,000 with which to issue a poison gas mask free to every man, woman and child in the country.

A factory is to be set up and, as soon as completed, the masks will be distributed. To prevent loss, destruction or deterioration through careless handling, they are to be kept at convenient central points, readily available, however, upon signal.

Meanwhile everybody is to be instructed in their use.

What a commentary on the present state of international diplomacy! The world peace machinery, purchased at the price of 37,000,000 casualties in the last war, has been scrapped. People are snarling at each other like savages ready to spring.

Only, more’s the pity and the irony of it, being “civilized,” they will not fight each other like savages. Instead, they are planning to poison one another, whole nations at a time—not just soldiers, but the aged, the newly born, the cripples, the sick, the little boys and girls, indiscriminately.

Such is the true, the ghastly implication of the news from Britain. And it should cause us all—made, so they say, in God’s image—to hang our heads in shame. —The Pittsburgh, Pa., Press.
