The Brotherhood Of Wisdom.BY K A RL H . VON W IEGAND.
F e l l o w o f t h e I l l u m i n a t i .
Traditions, legends and myths entwined in the folklore and religions of nearly all lands and peoples speak of the existence in remote antiquity of men like unto Gods in their attributes of knowledge, wisdom and power. Whose activities were not bounded by the confines of this plane, who had access to higher spheres and were not subject to the limitations of mankind in general.
The Sacred Books of all races and nations teem with refer ence to a Priesthood, an Order or a Brotherhood of Divine origin that existed from the Beginning and was composed of those whom we are led to infer had attained the goal of perfection.
A body of men spoken of as the Sons of Wisdom and Sons of God, gifted with the profoundest knowledge, the sublimest spiritual wisdom and endowed with the most marvelous super natural powers.
In some ages an organization whose ramifications extended throughout the world and swayed the destiny of nations, in other ages only a few individuals stand forth like stars of the
towrard one goal- _la *c«ne ages lost in the chaos of darkness, only ooeapp^.
there amongst a race aud nation engulfed in -a g n a ie of ignorance and superstition, like the gleam of as ^ d L e n t lamp on an invisible circuit; again, to blosscaniwfc » a m«fctv and powerful visible physical oigam zation and h*r- arcbr Fanciful and distorted as many of these accounts have « « ie tous however much they may differ, according to the bad and people, they- agree in bearing testim ony to the eostenceM i S n an lands and ages, who possessed knowledge and
wbdom not erf man, were endowed with such miraculous powers
that even the forces of nature were their obedient that these godlike attributes were ever exercised in c s t ation of suffering and the enlightenm ent and betterm ent o t,._
h tio ism . ««t* jAll the different accounts speak of these Sons o i=-
as the Elder Brothers and early teachers of the human race, once veritable Gods in the Golden A ge and after the “ Fall.
Some again attained their former state and becam e the Elect to teach mankind the Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of Man and the unity of all things existent and to point out the way to that goal which they themselves had already reached.
We are told that they made themselves Masters of the Sacred Mysteries of Life and Death, of God, Man and Nature, their conniption and relation to each other.
Varying as these traditions do, according to the age an' race from whence the tradition comes, the similarity in a gener
are traceable from the jungles and Himalayas of India to the
parched deserts and dead cities of Egypt. Persia, Palestine. Greece, through Europe to the western slopes of the Andes and the same golden thread runs through the religion of the
Buddhist, Brahman, Sufi, Parsee. Jew, Mahommedan. Christian, Druid, Fireworshipper and that of the Incas and Sunworship-
pers of Ecuador, however much they one and all may have per
verted it from its pristine purity.Vary as the Books, traditions and legends may, their striking
similarity is not mere coincidence and they tmamimously agree
not only that the appearance of the Brotherhood as a physical
organization amongst a people was always associated with peace,
prosperity, moral and spiritual enlightenment and rapid advance
ment along all lines of activity, but, that the persecution of the
Brothers of Wisdom and their withdrawal was invariably follow
ed by the decline, decay and destruction of that nation and the
degeneration of its people.
Thus the Sacred Books and traditions agree upon four prin
cipal points; first, that such wise men lived in all ages; second.
that they were Masters and Custodians of the Sarr, i£lt-i cel Mysterj,and endowed with the Divine Power and Wisdom- third ’ their object was the doing of good, the alleviation of su fferjn '
the dispelling of darkness, ignorance, and evil, the enlightenm ent
and betterment of mankind and the uplifting of the human race
In short, they were the Torch bearers of Truth, Justice, Peace
Love and Wisdom.Fourth, that this Priesthood, Order or Brotherhood would
after many ages again be restored on earth in the fulness of all
its majesty, power and glory.Prophecies of a new dispensation, a new order of things or
rather, the restoration on earth of the Divine and the coming of the Great Master of Wisdom to gather about him the faithful, abound in the books and traditians of all lands and tongues. That these refer to the future destiny of mankind on this earth and are pregnant with a depth of meaning little understood, few will deny.
From remotest antiquity to comparatively modern times have prophecies to this effect been made by Wise men. Plato the great philosopher believed that the time would come when man will again develop entirely the intellectual, transcendental and spiritual principles that the great Initiates of old cultivated, for he says, “ The Gods will really dwell in the Temples (bodies) of mankind.” This is confirmed in various parts of the Bible. “ I willdwell in them and walk in them, For, behold the Taber nacle of God is with men and He will dwell with them and they shall be His people and God Himself will be with them,” saith the Angel to St. John.
On one of the scrolls on the ancient Egyptian Supreme Charter of the Great Councils of the Three, F iv e and Seven said to have been restored in its ancient symbolism and hie o- glyphics when the foundation for the twelfth and last restoration
E L T K A 59
of the sublime Central Order of the Brotherhood was begun
some years ago, are the words: “ And there shall descend from
the Upper Heavens, the Elect, and their seed shall be scattered
amongst the Children of E arth .”
What is evidently the same prophecy and which indicates
something of its antiquity and refers to the time when the
Eternal Brothorhood of Wisdom would again manifest in the
flesh, is taken from the ancient Book of Enoch which reads:“ In
those days the Elect and the Holy Race descend from the
Upper Heavens and their seed shall be with the Sons of Men.”
From the Tablets of Enoch has also been taken the follow
ing: “ I will restore again my Sanctuary and will renew my
Priesthood, behold those that have perfected themselves, those
that have been chosen by Me, those whom My Love has antici
pated and whom My Spirit has illuminated. Through Know
ledge I have made them contemporaries of all ages, in placing
in their hands the off-spring of all traditions, the Key which
opens all Sanctuaries; I have initiated them into the secrets of
nature.
“ The Bibles of all nations, the Sacred Books of all Temples
are legible in their sight. Their thought is in communion with
the Universal Thought of Humanity. Upon their forehead
beams the synthesis of all the sciences which enrich the genius
of man, from the night of time until the present day.
“ Hieroglyphics, Symbols, Figures, and Parables, are no
more secrets for them; the Sphinx has spoken, the Veils of Isis
have fallen, Nature is unveiled and the Creation exhibits itself
to their gaze that which it really is, verily, a Divine Poem,
whose language, rhythm, cadence and harmony, they well know.
“ Theurgy, W hite Magic, Psychurgy, Liturgy, Alchemy,
Astrology, all the Occult Sciences, have become rational and
experimental to them. They have again recognized Jacob’s
6o E L T K A
Ladder, upon which they ascend and gradually cjes secret analogies of Heaven with Earth, of the Invisible with Visible, are perceived by their piercing vision. The prof0 fancies of the Orient, the ardent aspirations of the Occid all the hopes sf Humaniiy will through them be realized vm, Earth.
(To be continued.)
Rays Of LightF R O M T H E
ILLU M IN A TI.
When we turn toward the light we shall see nothing but good. The perplexing problem of good ond evil will never give us any trouble if we stay our minds upon truth. The person who can see deeply is the real artist; whose insight into life is so great that he sees the center inside the circumference, God in man, and in the meanest flower that grows, thoughts that lie to deep for tears. How often we suddenly become aware of some beautiful trait in a person’s character that we have never seen before, and we feel as though that person had unaccount ably changed. Ah, it is only the awakeniug of love in our own hearts that has revealed to us the person in his true light. The greater insight into Truth we have the greater is the revelation of love.—Fiances Allen Ross.
--------1 Be Cheerful, jj--------
The mind must direct itself to the real source of power and by concentrating itself upon that, realize that one of the direct rays are more powerful than all the earth’s reflections; thus it will become a channel of light and strength. In
reality we are at one
E L T K A 6l
with the universe. W e are part of its infinite power and free
dom. Why then should we be crushed by the things and con
ditions around us ?—Frank Newland Doud.
-------- [ Be Courageous. ]--------
Thought and noble ideals are ever young and tend to make
the organism through which they manifest correspond in expres
sion, if given simple, wholesome treatment. Among the new
race now taking possession of the continent, youthful centena
rians will be too common to attract attention. Your school of
unreasoners and actors, being out of harmony with natural law,
will pass out and its record of wooden ideals of happiness, suc
cess and pleasure, be turned with cu rious interest by a vril
inspired race. It will speak with charity and sympathy of how
much its ancestors missed of development of the nobler, more
enduring elements of character.—Mary Eupha Crawford.
-------- [ Be Practical. ]--------
The Life of Principle, the life that gladly gives its full
measure of return, is possible to all. The Life of Integrity of
thought and action is at the command of each. It is all a mat
ter of wisdom, all a question of a consciousness of the truth.
For the truth luminously demonstrates that the happiness all
are seeking is bound up in the understanding of principle and in
the thoughts and actions that serve to express and manifest
them. No great learning is necessary; no highly developed intel
lectual faculties. No; the higher the truths the more simple they
are and the easier are they to follow after one has vitally absorb
ed their significance. I t is the confused or ignorant who are
mysterious, and it is the lack of wisdom or knowledge that is
reflected in clouded and obscured expressions of the truth. The
who lives the Spiritual Life is a man of character. He holds
E L T K A
bis head erect in his Godhood, whatever Ith0 ,‘S ,n ;ly Sivy
He recognizes God and love in all life and an oi |jivs n . ‘H
"Ills.
tions. He cheerfully gives full compensation [<„• vv]l
receives. He faces the world fearlessly. I le senses tin• • r'unp
al and material as One, and infuses into the physical a consi
ness of the spirit that inherently pervades it. Such non
living a Life of Integrity. And this is the Spiritual Life.
—Eugene Del Mur.--------[ Keep Busy. ]--------
Truths are consistent; they arrange themselves in otic
system, aud under that system the State moves forward as (ioij
would have it. Thus it is, that if you give time enough, and a
fair opportunity to each and all, in the long run you have a rif'ht
to say with reverence, and the confidence bred of reverence,
that “ The voice of the people is the voice of God!” This
means that there is no success for any one if he try to live for
himself and by himself. He must live in the common life, or he
dies. He must enjoy with the joy of others; he must sorrow in
their sorrows. If he is a student, he must, so far as he can,
teach them. In all true literature and science, there are no
secret medicines or private paths. Everything is really patent,
Noblesse oblige, and what a man discovers, he dis-covers, lie
opens it for the universal good.—Edward Everett Hale.

erally and may or may not consider the spiritual aspen whatever, while spiritual science almost wholly considers Me things which are eternal or spiritual. The spiritual plane so far transcends
the material, that it almost ignores it and the mental, since it looks upon them as temporal, subject to change and decay, - and as so much dross from which the soul must free herself in
order to develop and unfold.Jesus, than whom no greater teacher of spiritual, or life
science, ever lived, ceaselessly warned and taught his disciples to avoid the deceit of riches, going so far as to say it was “ im
possible for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven,” The rich man was always held up as an object lesson that they should avoid bis state. All the great teachers of ancient and modern times have decried riches. Why ? Because mankind does not seem able to resist their seductive power, and once within their grasp a slavery worse than death too often results,

I I Sacquaintance have been made better morally through the n.lion of wealth ? See how a few paltry dollars acquired b man exalts him in his own estimation above his fellows »p' not in haste to get rich, for they that would be rich fall jn divers temptations and snares which lead men to destruction and perdition.” How many good men of your acquaintance have been rained through the acquisition of money ? Listen to the voice of your own soul—profit by your own observation and heed the seers of all ages when they speak in tones of authority and conviction.
£‘ A man who greedily seeks wealth is like a child who eats noney with a sharp knife—scarcely has he tasted the sweetness when he finds ne has cut his tongue. (Buddha.)
A man s true wealth is the good he does in the world.” (. Wakamet.)
" A coveto«s man does not possess his wealth, his wealth possesses him.
If a man make money at the expense of his virtue or hon or, he dishonors his own soul. He sells honor for gold. “ Allthe gold on earth is of no value compared with virtue.” (Gre cian.)
‘ A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches ar W ; iavor rather than si,ver and gold.” (Solomon.)
„ J j ‘c^es increase, set not your heart upon them. (Davu ware of covetousness for a man’s life consisteth not

(Concluded from N o. 3S.)
The interior side of life is spiritual. W e must grasp the
fact that the concrete phenomena of life represent the intertwin
ing of several distinct lines of evolution. Externally we have
the evolution of bodies or races; while internally, we have the
evolution of spiritual individuals. The hereditary force of the
world as expressed in physical bodies, or groups of bodies that
we call races, is a mighty university; and the different races are
different definite courses that have been mapped out or different
colleges maintained on the one campus. The same spiritual ego
returns time and time again to this university, and this is what
we mean by reincarnation. The egos in coming into the flesh
do not come at random or haphazard, and there is a spiritual
law known as Karma that determines to what body and in what
heredities a given ego will incarnate, and this gives us our key.
If we desire beautiful children, or noble citizens, we must so act
as to produce refined bodies, bodies which represent the condi
tions that these beautiful or noble egos deserve and they shall
surely come and be our people dwelling in our land; but if the
bodies that we offer for their vehicles of manifestations are
68 E L T K A
diseased, ugly, pessimistic, ignorant, depraved, the noble e j ,
will not come, except a few of the highest who come occasion
ally as christs to uplift humanity and direct it in critical periods
like the present; and where the conditions are unfavorable, the
mass of spirits that will come to be our people, will be of a class that deserve nothing better than the conditions that we offer.
When we educate a child, we do two things, first, we de
velop, refine, strengthen and increase the hereditary force repre
sented in his physical body, and secondly, we assist in developing
and unfolding the powers of the spiritual individual or ego that I
is using the body as its vehicle. If the heredity of the body
is low, the ego will not succeed in manifesting much of its gath
ered powers at this time; for hereditary force is so conservative
that it rarelv yields to educational effort in a body which it has
already budded. But this brings us once more to our secret.
Educational efforts bear their fruit in succeeding generations
and succeeding incarnations. The ego profits in his next incar
nation which may not come within a thousand years or even
more, but this time is not lost for him; but he then profits, be
cause at that time he will be drawn by Karm a into a refined
body commensurate with his increased development. The
children of educated parents profit by all educational efforts
spent upon the parents and thus it is that a more refined class of bodies are produced, and a higher and a higher class of egos are drawn into our environment. Educational influence while not capable of overcoming hereditary force already working to build the body that we are educating, yet is fully competent to prevent its lower here dity from fixing itself upon the next generation, and the bodies of the children bear the full and definite impress of the educational effort, and not the old heredity. I t is true that we cannot do so much to educate citizens, as to educate the parents and grandparents of citizens. The fruits of educational
E L T K. A 69
influences cannot become mature in one or even two or three
generations. Thus it is that any educated individual stands for
a most valuable hereditary force for the uplifting of the Race,
which is entirely lost if he does not become the parent of chil
dren. It would seem to be his duty to do so. It is here inter
esting to consider who are the spiritual individuals that incarnate
in our families as children, and whom we claim as ours. They
are egos that have been cultured up to this point in ages past
and incarnate with us seeking further growth. They come into
the flesh as our children because through our educational efforts
we have produced desirable bodies for them. Thus it is that
when the race advances, as we say, it is that a higher class of egos
is coming in. The egos that are now going out will not return
to the flesh again for many centuries, but they will ultimately
return and then profit by the hereditary forces they assisted in
creating. We produce children for the benefit of others than
ourselves, and the production of offspring may be correctly re
garded as strictly an unselfish action. A man of low heredity
may cheerfully give his material assistance to encourage those of
more favorable conditions of heredity, to propagate their kind,
for by so doing he assists in building up a more refined race of
vehicles, and when he comes into the flesh once more, he will
find one of those refined bodies prepared for him. If he refuses
this loving labor for the uplifting of the Race, and insists in
producing bodies of a low order, having undesirable character
istics, he shall surely be born into such when he next returns.
This is Karma, this is justice.
The ether is filled with egos eagerly watching and waiting
for a chance to secure fit bodies into which to incarnate. They
have advanced to a point of spirituality where an incarnation
into depraved conditions or unrefined bodies will not help them,
so it is they are waiting until we produce something worthy of
E L I K A70j
them. Thus it is that there is in the present dav 1
I . I |j tlyuiaivla new race; or new races having spiritual or hereditir.
I I % u i r y c o n s tp41tions harmonious with the highest ideals that we !nv<> , yjjjtjl I oiiclmviThrough this new race our reform movements are to in 1
In the foregoing pages the essential principles of the in - race movement have been briefly outlined, but where so much is included, and so much is involved concerning which so little i, commonly known by the general reader, it is not possible in a single essay to make all points clear. In the following paragraph we will attempt to recapitulate some of the main features or principles with a hope of leaving at least a few practical thoughts
as a basis for action.All race movements progress slowly, and are strictly pro
ducts of growth. And all growth is under the direct governor ship of the mighty spiritual Hierarchy of nature. It is our high privilege and sacred duty to harmonize our wills with this hier archy, and cooperate with it in so far as we can discern any part of the outline of its lofty purposes. And this is true because it exists for our good, and ultimately, when we have groan to our full spiritual stature, we will belong to it, and be
one with it. The Masters must work through human individuals and human heredity to advance humanity. So long as we re main ignorant of their existence or purposes, so long as we set
r against the tree methods of progress, they must watch and wait, merely encouraging us as best they can by what re sources are at their disposal, to grasp the secret of evolution that may help us. ft not for us, arbitrarily to set to work and force a new race into being with a spiritual constitution arbitrarily drawn up by our objective intellects, but we must proceed intuitively, reverently and hopefully to grasp the in terior truth and bring it forth into manifestation. It is not for our calculating intellects to say that that ideal shall either be
'nclutled or excluded from the spiritual constitution ot the the new
race but we must proceed religiously by purity, love and a
worship of the divinity that dwells in us, and through the sacred
processes of marriage, we must husband and propagate the
highest and most refined to be found on earth in our day. T he
spiritual ego polarizes with its own qualities wery molecule of
the body in which it functions; and where the ego is lofty and
beautiful, the hereditary force thus generated by it and which
must be harmonious with it, is a most valuable force for civiliza
tion, and should be carefully protected and propagated in chil
dren. Through heredity we produce the physical body, bu t the
quality of the body selects the ego that will inhabit it. Those
of deep spirituality, those of profound philosophy' and tru th ,
those of sweet charity, love and benevolence; in fact all those
of high ideals and right habits of thinking, feeling and acting,
should be regarded as the fit progenitors of the new race. I ts
spiritual constitution will be manifested from the interior if we
thus do our duty. We will thus attain to a realization of uni
versal brotherhood among men; universal peace among nations.
There will be more love, more goodness and purity, m ore wis
dom, more happiness; and there will be less strife, less poverty
and suffering, less ignorance, less sin. Not all can be a tta ined
by a single new race. Evolution will yet have to run on for
thousands and tens of thousands of years e’er hum anity a tta in s
all that is in store for it. Each age must have its own problem s,
and each age will have mighty souls incarnate to deal with them .
May we be faithful in our own day and generation !4 J O

One of the most inspiring facts in hum an life is the power
of ideals. Amidst the most adverse circumstances, where all
things external point away from the life that is called ideal, the
renewing belief in a better and a best ever and again makes
itself known. In an age where there is more or less decay of
faith in spiritual things, it is especially impressive to find a little
company of people assembled to refresh their consciousness of
the everlasting realities of religion.This idealizing power shows the tremendous hold upon
man which the spiritual consciousness possesses. I t is by this
constant renewing process that we at last mount to the skies
and conquer the well-nigh invincible. 'Even if ohr words be
again and again the same, there is an added power each time we
look upwards : for it is the spirit in which we renew the ideal*
not the symbol in which we clothe it, which gives it power.

l th a t th e re is far more in man thnn our ordi-
‘ss implies. T h e ideal which we would be shows
between whnt he has called good and evil. Thus he has been
e rp le x e d by dualism; conflict. l i e has emphasized the fact,1 < ... i t . t .................... i ................ i / • i i . i. - .
Hut when he begins to see that it is not the way life is
constituted, bu t the w ay he takes it, th a t is consequential, he
learns that the prime fault lay in bis own m isunderstanding,
lie mistook him self for a being of flesh and blood when he was and is a living soul, an im m ortal spirit, pure being. l ie
saw conflict where there was in reality profound adjustm ent of means to ends. In deepest tru th there is unity, bower and higher are sim ply diverse phases of expression of one bile.
There is nothing inherently or incurably evil in man. God has not planted anyth ing vile in hum an natu re . All parts of man s being are good, in proper relation and proportion. 1 he trouble has been that there was excess, d e fec t. Man must be beautiful, must see the artistic relation of all th a t is in him, in order truly
to understand.It is the beautiful relation of all things in their unity, seen
in the liget of the whole, which reveals the true worth of life.
VVe must not only refrain from judging by the appearance; we should not judge by the temporary or partial. W e do not yet
know our full selves. W e should rem em ber the idealizing pow
er and its full significance. E verything that we pass through on
the lower rounds has significance for the higher. W e m ust then

E L T K A
Many times when we are weighed down b y disCOUr we are judging by something that is so close to u,s th teLmcnt- not behold it in true perspective. Oftentimes it jssensation which discolors our mood. Again it is the disaa-reeabi'1 frictions of growth by which we are so absorbed for the timthat we forget the beauty and virtue that are coming of that I
process. We condemn ourselves a thousand times when it is I
not the real self at all that we are condemning. The real self is 1
hidden for the time and we have forgotten what manner of be- I
ing we are. It is a great discovery, this sublime fact that the 1
ideal expresses the truer self.Whence springs this ever renewing life ? Is it from man
alone? Those who believe that the immanent Life is the I source of all change and growth, tell us that it is the perennial manifestation of the Spirit. It is ths Spirit, not man, that is doing it all. We are not living to ourselves alone. Life is in the profoundest sense a unit because all things are means to ends in the divine order. All spring from one source; there is no other source of power; there is no evil power. There is a constant going forth of the creative life, ever mounting the scale of evolution. There is a divine pulse-beat, a progressive influx. This is the origin of these impressive renewals of the religious consciousness. That influx makes for good, health, harmony, joy, beauty, individuality, service, love. Everything in man is contributory, there is nothing that can defeat the divine tendency towards perfection. The ideal is a divine inti mation of what God would have us be. To-morrow we shall see the same ideal more clearly, and thus ever on and up.
The progressive influx has an immediate relation to each soul. There is a rhythm for each, a wise pace which the soul may learn to take. All else may be discarded except this divine leading; all anxiety, all care, all merely personal sense of
M
E L T K A 75
ownership or responsibility. As wc are not living to ourselves
alone, we are living for humanity, for God. We may well take the pace of the life that flows from God towards the ideal.
NOTES AND CO M M ENTS.
We take pleasuse in announcing that in the next, or suc ceeding, number of E ltk a , we shall be able to give our readers an excellent article upon the religion of India. Through the kindness of our fellow member, Emily Palmer Cape, of New York, we are in receipt of a report of an address recently given at the Carnegie Lyceum under the auspices of the Vedanta Society, by the Swami Abhedananda. We have hitherto refrain ed from publishing much upon this subject, chiefly because the majority of reports which came to us were totally unreliable. In fact, a great part of the matter which has been published in this country, when referred to those who know, has been wholly rejected by them as not being in keeping with their Teachings. We appreciate the value of the Vedanta Philosophy, and are ready at all times to bring its (or any other’s) Truths before our readers. We believe Max Muller fully understood his subject when he said: “ If I were to look over the whole world to find out the country most richly endowed with all the wealth, power, and beauty that nature can bestow—in some parts a very para dise on earth—I should point to India. If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest prob lems of life, and has found solutions of some of them which well deserve the attention even of those who have studied Plato and Kant—I should point to India. And if I were to ask my-
76 E L T K A
self from what literature here in Europe, we
nurtured almost exclusively on the thoughts of Grwho have beetl
eeks and
cor.Romans and one Semitic race, the Jewish, may draw that rective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more perfect, more comprehensive, more universal, in fact more truly human, a life, not for this life only, but a transfigured and eternal life—again I should point to India.”
T h e R a t i o n a l e o f T e l e p a t h y a n d C la irv o y a n c e , by
Geo. W. Wright, Ps. D., is the title of a new brochure just issued
by the Illuminati. The name is self-explanatory, and we believe
our readers will find it one of the best treatises upon these
subjects which has yet appeared. Free copies will be mailed as
early as possible to all fellow members of the Institution. Should
you not receive one in due time, notify us and we will be glad
to send same.
T h e E t h i c a l R e c o r d , we regret to announce, ceased
publication with its December number. This was one of our most valued exchanges and we shall miss it greatly. The editor, in his farewell, says: “ The Ethical Record was initiated with the hope that it might nurse into power, out of the favoring soil of the Ethical Movement, a vehicle of competent and sturdy ethical criticism, to which those of independent mind might turn with a sense of confidence and a hope of help.” We agree with him, that it has made encouraging strides towards its ideals. “ The cloud of commercialism darkens our press and our periodi cals. It is well-nigh impossible to get from our great com mercialized newspapers and magazines, under such heavy hostages to financial fortune, sincere judgments, or even reliable accounts, of any matters which seem to jeopardize vested inter-
