  	    The point for each one to decide is, whether it is mortal
12	mind or immortal Mind that is causative. We	                                  Useful
  	should forsake the basis of matter for meta-	                                  knowledge 
  	physical Science and its divine Principle. 
15	    Whatever furnishes the semblance of an idea governed
  	by its Principle, furnishes food for thought. Through as-
  	tronomy, natural history, chemistry, music, mathematics,
18	thought passes naturally from effect back to cause. 
  	    Academics of the right sort are requisite. Observa-
  	tion, invention, study, and original thought are expansive
21	and should promote the growth of mortal mind out of it-
  	self, out of all that is mortal. 
  	    It is the tangled barbarisms of learning which we
24	deplore, — the mere dogma, the speculative theory, the
  	nauseous fiction. Novels, remarkable only for their
  	exaggerated pictures, impossible ideals, and specimens
27	of depravity, fill our young readers with wrong tastes
  	and sentiments. Literary commercialism is lowering the
  	intellectual standard to accommodate the purse and to
30	meet a frivolous demand for amusement instead of for
  	improvement. Incorrect views lower the standard of
  	truth. 
 1	    If materialistic knowledge is power, it is not wisdom. 
  	It is but a blind force. Man has "sought out many inven-
 3	tions," but he has not yet found it true that knowledge can
  	save him from the dire effects of knowle...dge. The power
  	of mortal mind over its own body is little understood.
