y claim upon his
love, or service is fully satisfied. No more severing of ties; no more
broken hearts, or disappointed hopes. No injustice, full fruition in
heaven.

This adjustment measured by earthly reckoning may take long reaches of
time, but finally, the soul, stirred by the eternal law of progress, of
unfoldment, repeats its former experience, drinks of the cup of
forgetfulness, and returns again to learn in the great university of
unfolding life on this planet. A vast multitude, it is coming and
going, unceasingly moving on. No two alike; each in its place pressing
forward to the station which the totality of its experiences through
many lives entitles it. There is but one law, but one method that
abides. It is the spiritual law of evolution; everyone is held by it;
all who seem exempt today from its influence upon their lives, have
already passed the crucial tests, or are traveling forward to meet them.

Sooner or later every human soul must inevitably take its turn, until
it passes up through the whole gamut of earthly experience. Whatever
character anyone achieves belongs to the individual eternally. It is
the reward of patient service, of consecrated effort for the truth.
Great souls are what they are, in the places they now occupy by virtue
of their many incarnations. Through the great variety of experiences
gained, they have come to know. They have earned the right to be what
they are. There are usurpers in all the ways of life, ignorance and
hypocracy masquerading as the real thing, but they do not last.
Pretenders are soon unmasked and taken at their true value.

Sometimes the spirit is strong enough to ignore its present
surroundings and rise above all the obstacles connected with its
material heredity. It depends upon the unfoldment of the spirit
whether it shall espouse the cause of progress and truth, or yield to
the pressure of its environment and shrink back into a lower grade, and
lose the opportunity for further growth.

EDUCATION OF CHILDREN.

Nearly all so-called civilized people set to work to cram the minds of
their children, at the first indication of any degree of intelligence,
with a religious bias such as they themselves have inherited or have
been taught. Then the intellect must be shaped, forced and driven into
accepted moulds, and the human being is considered ready to be turned
out into the world to fight the battle which everyone, in one way or
another, must f
