Vibration.

W e have heard the statement—Life is vibra­tion, or motion, which is the same thing.

Life being all there is, that which is neces­sary to express more life is greater vibration.

All that we see is a rate of vibration of life expressing itself, the rocks, earth, grass, flowers, anim als and man are only different rates of vi­bration. M an being the highest because he is more conscious of the life he expresses, for this reason: he has developed the power to make or create for himself more beautiful and substantial th ings out of the lesser expressions of life, for his convenience and happiness; setting in motion, by desire, the life force which gives him the power to create all the grand inventions of the day, in beauty, harm ony and usefulness.

If we stop and th ink a moment, will we not realize tha t we have grown from a babe to our present stature, setting in motion by desire the rate of vibrations to produce the effect?

Now is th is not really reasonable (perhaps you have never thought of it before); have not our parents known that in time we should become in stature as large as they—they having the desire to see us grow; and by our own indi­vidual desire for greater expression, though it may have been unconscious, we proceed to grow, or increase the rate of vibration and become ex­pressions of manhood and womanhood? • ! f

T H E N E W L I F E . 3H ere th e race has stopped , s a y in g , (se ttin g

in motion th e idea), “ th a t a f te r a ce rta in tim e from the date of o u r b irth , we sh o u ld grow old and ugly in appearance , and th a t we w ere g o in g to die,” in o th e r words cease to m an ifest; and by this s tro n g belief, we have ceased to m an ifest in body form, a lth o u g h a few in d iv id u a ls reach th e age of n in e ty and one h u n d re d in com p ara tiv e ly good health of m ind and body, b u t th e y give u p at last and pass from o u r view because th e y do not believe in th e A ll L i f e , an d th a t to e x p re ss that Life it is necessa ry to have a form , for we cannot conceive of life w ith o u t form .

Now th e g re a t m ajo rity re a lly w ant m ore life th a t th e y m ay accom plish a ll th e ir desires— the resu lts of th e ir th o u g h t an d actions; b u t th e y have not understood how to ex p re ss it, and how can they know w hen o rth o d o x y h as told th em they were “ o n ly m iserab le w orm s of th e d u s t an d tha t they m u st p repare to die, by liv in g a life of hum ble subm ission to a d e ity som ew here in th e clouds, so th a t w hen th e y die th e y can have a home w ith h im ?”

T h is is all bosh— all science teaches th a t man is the h ig h e s t ex p ress io n of L ife th a t is an d th a t he is th e m aster of a ll b e n ea th h im , b u t he has been b ro u g h t up in ig n o ran ce and s u p e rs ti­tion of th is fact and is ju s t co m m encing to aw ake to the fact th a t he is A L L p o w e r f u l .

T h ese th o u g h ts for a g re a te r ex p ress io n of life have sen t fo rth th e ir v ib ra tio n s and go on

and on, he lp ing all who are desirous of greater expression , c reating hope and brightness that still goes on m ak ing the vibrations stronger than before; so it is only a question of time, as it has been term ed, and desire— for desire leads, when we will continue to m anifest indefinitely.

A ll sorrow and pain , which is a low rate of v ibration, will be done away with; for we are con­tin u a lly creating a desire, though it may be un­conscious, to be m ore beautifu l, young and hap-Py -

A ll these v ib rations are w ithin us, for if this were not so, we would not express life in form as we do; we are an aggregation of all that we be­hold, and being the h ig h est expression of life, it is reasonable to see th a t all is within us.

Now if we do n o t find health and harmony expressed in our own body th a t we desire, we should a t once look w ith in and find and remove th e cause.

Life is h ealth , h a rm o n y , an 1 if we do not ex- • p ress it we can ’t be in harm ony with life; life is

ceaseless m otion, v ibration; so you need to in­crease your v ib ra tions (circulation) by exercis­ing , b a th in g and d r in k in g and eating just what yo u r system desires, or those th ings that do not im pair or clog the free flow of blood through the system , u n til you develop the vibrations high enough to be able to eat any and every­th in g th a t you w ant; for you are all there is ex­pressed— the m ost in te llig e n t being; why not be

able to eat any of the lesser vibrations? And you can by understand ing yourself.

Don’t find fault when you look into your mirror at the p icture reflected there, and say you are ugly, hom ely or sick; they are vibra­tions and are ceaseless, but ju s t smile, no m atter how you feel, let go of them , and for once in your existence love YOURSELF; pat your body and talk to it; you can’t express without it, and it w i l l receive these vibrations of love, and will manifest to the degree or in tensity of those thoughts. Therefore does it not appeal to your consciousness, by the few' statem ents herein ex­pressed tha t you can realize you r wildest hopes of joy and am bition, by setting in motion the thoughts and actions of your desires?

Rejoice th a t you are an expression of life, regardless of your condit: as; you are just wdiat you thought, and you an change them to suit your h ighest desires.

God helps those who do their VERY BEST to help them selves.

“ Palm s of vict’ry, crowns of glory you shall w ear,” if you will come into the new life.

Keep thoughts of health in your mind, and sooner or later they will show forth in your body. T hey must.

Not how much but how well—quality instead of q u an tity— should be the policy of those in the child-raising business.

“ Patience and perseverance will accomplish an y th in g .” Yes indeed, it will, even to realizing your divinity, and guiding you through all e ternity .

Oil the tem pers of those around you with a bright face, a pleasant tone of voice and cheery words; they need it ju st as surely as your ma­chinery needs oil of a coarser quality.

O ur poem of th is issue, written especially for, and dedicated to T h e N ew L if e , is the pro­duct of Miss R uth Porter, of Myrtle Creek, Ore., who is a sweet, gifted, earnest young worker in our beautiful new life; that the Infinite mind has a beautiful and glorious work planned for her, and tha t she will nobly and faithfully respond, is our prediction for her.

In November, at Chicago, will be held a New T hough t Convention, for which great prep­arations are being made. Many of the most prom inent workers will be there. November 17th to 20th inclusive are the days set for it. T he organization in Chicago will bear the ex­penses of the convention; they announce that a one and one-third railroad fare to Chicago and re tu rn will be given on the certificate plan; sale of tickets from the Pacific coast will be issued five days before the convention; the central and

eastern states will issue them three days in ad­vance.

We sincerely hope this convention may be the means of spreading the new life ideas far and wide.

In this departm ent we shall endeavor to call your attention to our beautiful bodies which are intended for the tem ples of the Infinite Spirit— let us guard and cherish them, respect and love them for the)' are “ m ansions not made with hands” and cannot be duplicated. Some New T hough t people do not believe in taking any special care of the body; this is certainly an error; our bodies are here— they are tangible facts, and if we would progress spiritually, we m ust take care of the outer side of our spiritual selves. VVe will always have bodies of some description— there m ust be two sides to anything, and as we progress sp iritually our material side m ust keep pace. Even those who have passed from sight m ust still have bodies, though too fine for our eyes to behold.

The more care we give the bodies we have now, the longer it will be before we will doff these, and put on the bodies not visible to physi­cal eyes.— Ed.

“ Man is a well-adjusted and well-made ma­chine, which, if worked steadily, will last a long time, hut if moved by fits and starts, and badly cared for, will soon be jolted to pieces. T hus it is tha t equanim ity of mind, and steady bodily habits, are each promotive of long life, and, when combined, will not only enable the posses­sor to live w ithin sight of his century, but do it in enjoyable health of body, and a pleasurable and hilarious m ental activity. Surely such an old age is worth laboring for; and that it is attained by whole classes of persons who make m oderation the ir life-long habit, is susceptible of undeniable proof.”

“T hose who desire to be beautiful should do all they can to restore their health if they have lost it, or keep it if the}' have it still. It is im­possible for any one to lay down specific rules for o ther people in these matters. The work which tme may do, the rest, exercise, baths, are m atters for individual consideration; but, none the less, they m ust all be carefully thought of and never neglected. As a rule, when a person feels well, he looks well; when he feels ill, he looks ill. T here are times when one can guess w ithout looking in the glass that the eyes are dull and the sk in is mottled. This is not a case for an y ex ternal application, for to have a fresh com plexion and bright eyes, even to have white hands a n d a graceful figure, you must be well.

We beg to apologize for a mistake in the date of the Graduation Day of Prof. Knox’class, the report of which is given on page five of Oct. N ew L if e , which should read Aug. 19, 1903, in­stead of 1902.

We are more than grateful for the many kind and friendly notices tendered The New L ife by our sister journals; they are a stimulus

T H E N E W L I F E . 1 7

to go on to better th ings. Hut we request The New T hough t .Searchlight to give us the righ t address in next issue— a sligh t mistake has been made.

The American boat has beaten the E nglish rival; Lou Dillon has at last accomplished a mile in two m inutes; progress everywhere except in the post office departm ent where Madden still holds sway, as immovable and unprogressive as a pillar of salt. W onder how long it will be be­fore the tide of progress rises up to his nose and drowns him?

Ever since T hk N kw L ife was born, we h ive been considering the question of second class postage; indeed; we made application for th is privilege(?), but because of an error, the answer was delayed. Meanwhile, we had come to the conclusion tha t under the existing condi­tions, the second class rate is not the unalloyed blessing tha t it is generally supposed to be, and — we withdrew our application.

Since doing so, we feel freer, as though an unp leasan t burden had slipped from our shoul- ners.

Henceforth we are free to speak as boldly as we please and advertise what we choose; we will not be hampered by any conventionality nor any lim itations which the “powers that hap­pen to be” might choose to set around us.

i s T H E N E W LIFE.

Is not our poem in this issue a sweet and beautiful thing? It ju st expresses my ideas of the new life exactly— especially the line— “1 o live on high while w orking here on earth.”

T h is is what we need to do—to keep our m inds on pure and lofty ideals throughout our everyday life, no m atter how prosaic or trying our work may be. W e can do it to a certain de­gree, and the more we practice, the better we will do.

Keep our m inds on high, in the depths of Infin ite goodness, while with our hands we work out the duties tha t lie close to us, and thus ful­fil the design of the U niversal mind; by so do­ing, we will slowly but surely refine and uplift our environm ents, and create an atmosphere of peace and goodwill which will soothe and cheer all who come into the aura of our lives.

Blessed are all they who desire to do the will of the Infinite, for they shall and do live on high in the new life.

Oh, brothers and sisters, why do you speak ill of each other?

W ould it not be better when another does som ething that does not fit in with our views, to pass it by k indly w ithout notice, and give him credit fordoing the best he knows? And more th an this no one can do.

sion. \ ou m ust m ake your mental and physic­al statem ents harm onize—you must work out with you r hands the thoughts of your mind; if you would be one grand whole, you must rev­erence and guard sacredly the outer side of yourself.

T he other new departm ent is devoted to T h e Beautiful W est. As T hk New Life stands forth boldly to point the way to progress in every form, and as m aterial prosperity is one with and necessary to spiritual opulence, we shall endeavor to give our readers some informa­tion of the vast and splendid resources oi this beautiful, new and fruitful part of our country.

1 hanksgiv ing D ay will soon be here again and the question very naturally arises—what have we to be th ank fu l for? Some will declare tha t they have no th ing to be thankful for, but to them I would say— 3*011 are mistaken; you have much more than you perceive—even if th in g s have not gone as well with 3*011 as the3* m ight, they are not so bad as the3* could be, eith­er; did 3*011 ever th ink of the troubles or sorrows that pass over your head? You get a glimpse of it when 3̂ 011 or those dear to 3̂ 011 have a nar­row escape from some calamity, and how many of these th ink you, m ight have come, passed over your heads, and 3̂ 011 were not conscious of them.

( )thers will thank God for the crops, nation­al prosperity, for happiness, health, and general

T H E N E W L I F E. 21

good things; th a t’s good.But have not we in the new life much more

to be thankful for in the splendid progress that our work is m aking? 1 th ink we have. Surely the ushering in of the glorious new life is the greatest th ing we have to be thankful for To me it certain ly is.

I am especially thankfu l th is year— I have so many th ings to be thankfu l for— splendid health, freedom from the old cram ping environ­ments, unlim ited opportunities to help my fellow- men along the upward path, glimpses of glorious success just ahead, and the wonderful happiness the new life is yielding to me— all these and more I have to be thankful for.

And are not these occult blessings and pos­sesions more to give thanks for than any other? Let your life be a song of thankfulness for the joy and blessings showered upon you all the tim e— be thankful every day, every hour, every m inute of your life. W hat have you to be thankfu l for?

Is crowded out this issue, but will certainly be given a place next time.

“ Sine them over Again to me.Beautiful words of life.”

Mrs. A. V irg in ia Sheppard, Ed. New T h o u g h t Searchlight, A llegheny, Pa., writes the following sweetly-kind le tter of congratulation: “ D ear friend: ‘T he New Life’ just arrived, and it is certain ly not a ‘deader,’ but very much alive, for which accept my congratulations, and hearty good wishes for the fu ture. Your remark about the folks in Chicago is certainly true, but I don’t feel any th in g but k indness for them. It is not scientific to do otherwise.

I firmly believe you are going to be a great success, and I feel somehow like sharing it with you in very gladness. Every bright ray of sun­shine brought to bear on the darkness makes it a shade less dark. Long may you live and prosper.”

Mrs. A. V. O., Burlingam e, Kan.“ I have realized th a t I am constantly receiv­

ing aid from the Infinite source of all life and health. Oh, the innum erable blessings which come to us from this source. I am glad to know you are hopeful and succeeding so well. It seems too bad to have to hu rry so much through life as not to be able to enjoy all there it for us; besides my own physical difficulties, I have many hindrances; but I know all these experiences are

for our good, and we would not have them , were they not needful to our d ev e lo p m en t.”

Orofino— th eC it} r of P u re G old— is s itu a ted on the C learw ater R iver, a t the confluence of th e creek which loaned it th e nam e, and is about five years of age; it was a very p u n y in fan t, quite doubtfu l of su rv iv ing , u n til the ra ilro ad — a spu r of the N orthern Pacific, was bu ilt up the C learw ater; th is acted upon it as M ellin ’s Food does on sick ly , ill-nourished hum an in fan ts , and infused new life in to its veins, and it grew fat and h ea lth y in no tim e, and is now a “ h u sk y k id ” of a tow n, with fair prom ise of developing in to a full-grow n city in the not-far-distant fu tu re , when “ C learw ater C o u n ty ” shall be created and Orofino elected the county seat.

Phis m ay honestly be called the h ill co u n try of Tdaho, if not of the world, for I doubt if the fam ous “ hill coun try of Ju d ea” could equal th is in the m atte r of h ills, real, genu ine h ills— no im ita tions at all; in fact th ey are young m o u n t­ains, and would quite probably be called so, if the nam e were not two long; yes, i t ’s “quite som e” h illy here— if it were so h illy , and did not ge t so m uddy in w in ter, and th e re would be a good rain every two or th ree w eeks th rough the dry season of sum m er, it would be a perfect country ;

T H E N E W LI FE.2 4

but w hat’s the use of w ishing for a perfect country (or man either)? W e all know that this p lanet does not produce such things yet; and th a t no m atter how fine some points are in any th ing , there is alw ays some fault to equalize it.

Rut the hills are fine and grand to look up­on, and the evervary ing contour, the ever greenness of the trees which cover them—the most restfu l color in natu re , make them a con­stan t source of delight to the eyes—of soothing rest to the nerves; a s trik in g contrast to the bare, brown m onotony of level or treeless regions.

O n these h ills farm s are perched around anyw here, any way, in all sorts of positions, standing on edge or end, on top of young mount­ains, backwards, sidewise, in any and all sizes, shapes and conditions, for there is no checker­board arrangem ent of the country here; and the road may wind around twice the distance in a bee-line, before we get to them; but we think nothing of all this when we see what grows on them, for fruits, vegetables, grain, hay, and all farm products grow lu x u rian tly on the well-culti­vated farms.

Orofino has am bitions, as any well regulat­ed town should have; it looks complacently for­ward to the time when ij: is the county seat of “Clearw ater C ounty” (to be); when the railroad shall continue up Orofino Creek (which is quite probable), and open up the wonderful wealth of

T H E N E W LI FE. 2 5

tim ber in the adjacent regions; when the coal, marble, lim e and other m ineral resources shall be developed and producing wealth; when its splendid agricultral and horticultural possibilities shall be realized, and Orofino proudly advances, step by step, on her sister cities.

Your temper is almost uncontrollable when aroused and you make a very bitter enemy. If you cultivate gentleness, you can win and hold friends. You are naturally above any mean or low work.
