inent before the telescope of human faith and
aspiration grow, enlarge, expand. He changeth not; He is ever the
same. And these conceptions will change until knowledge, in the
sense of the acquisition of facts, shall be no more, and intuitive
perception of the transcendent majesty of the Universal Life shall
fill our souls forever."

In these latter days one may hold all his old faith and add to it
knowledge, as Saint Paul himself enjoins. One of these powers of the
spiritual man now being rapidly developed is that of telepathy. We shall
learn to _talk in thought_, as well as in oral speech. We shall learn to
"call up" the friend at a distance, or the friend in the Unseen, as
unmistakably as we now call up a friend by telephone. Time and Space are
the limits which define the terrestrial life as distinct from the
celestial. But man is, primarily, a celestial being. He is, first of
all, a spirit, belonging to the spiritual world, and only secondarily
and temporarily a denizen of earth. He can regain, to some extent, at
least, his celestial faculties. For centuries he has accepted
imprisonment in the senses. His release is at hand. He has but to assert
his own pre-eminence as a spiritual being with spiritual powers. He has
but to exert these in order to prove to himself their existence, and to
develop them to their increasing use. Extension of power over the
material universe, more wonderful and more potent, and more
all-comprehending than even Marconi's wonderful wireless telegraphy, is
at hand. "It doth not yet appear what we shall be;" but that man can
create and control his destiny to an increasing extent, is true. It is
the evolution of religion,--of that faith which has added to itself
knowledge. Thought is the highest manifestation of energy; and when man
learns to live in thought he acts upon all his environment with energies
that are immortal.

Professor Leavenworth of the State University Observatory in Minnesota
photographed the new asteroid Eros at a distance estimated to be some
thirty-six millions of miles,--a distance that renders it impossible to
discern this planet even through the strongest telescope. Exact
mathematical calculation had worked out the problem of the location of
Eros, and the sensitive photographic plate caught it, even though it is
beyond the power of the telescope.

This scientific fact illustrates perfectly the way in which an unseen
universe exists about us,
