We Are Boosting For A Great Los Angeles With Climbing Pasadena PHONE MAIN · 1594 Volume 28 We Are The Attitude of Some of Our Leading Citizens Towards the Candidacy of F. J. Whiffen Since the primaries a united "Business Los Angeles" seems to have sprung up behind F. J. Whiffin for mayor. For several years last past Mr. Whiffin, as president of the city council, and as chairman of the finance committee, has been in charge of the money end of the city government. The city has had money enough, and even school children know how money has been, to say the least, difficult." Where fore the judgement of the business element of Los Angeles in endorsing Mr. Whiffin is hardly to be questioned. The Whiffin supporters say, and hith some reason, that Los Angeles is now a city of 600,000—the ninth city in point of size in the United States—and, as one of the largest corporations of the New World, a director is needed who is exeptienced, mature in years, and sound in business acumen. Therefore, Whiffin. At a meeting of the German societies last week, convened to consider the councilmanic and mayoralty candidates, a sperker known for business ability as evidenced in several Los Angeles skyscrapers said: "What! Suppose this were Munchen or Stuttgart; suppose this were Rouen or Marseilles; suppose this were Manchester or Dublin? Would a gen'd-arm, no matter how efficient as one of the constabulary, be considered as burgomaster or mayor? It is to smile! We need a financier—a man of affairs." It is so ordered. The time has come for the negroin this new Southland to make a place for himself that shall be unquestioned. Let him stand with the BEST of the builders of World Wonder City, and he must be considered of the THEM. Do NOT be misled by "ward workers", "political heelers", lodging house proprietors, real estate sharks with leases to sell, or the thousand-and-one of petty grafters who have been wont to prey on your credulity and good nature. Look to the bankers and the builders, and the men whose FAITH has made this country. They won't mislead you! Believe in and HELP THEM, even if you don't see them daily east of Main street, and your support will become THEIR support. It is these men who support Mr. Whiffen. Don't forget it! CUT THIS OUT. The Businessmen's Ticket: For Mayor: F. J. Whitten. Council: Betkouski, Wheeler, Brain, Conwell, Houghton, Langdon, Topham, McLaughlin. And any one friend you have on the ticket. If in doubt about any of these men, take the list to your BANKER, and ask HIM. FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM Go back fifty years in the history of a race. Who could have predicted the revolution that has taken place in our race? Natural talents, gifts unmeasured, religious zeal, patience, industry, cheerfulness, helpfulness, the grace of forgetting injuries and injustice. These have brought to the Afro-American race education, wealth, positions of prominence—a history in which we are all proud. "Fifty Years of Freedom" is to be given at the Shrine Auditor- The California Eagle ium, Tuesday, June 15, for the benefit of the Colored branch of the Y. M. C. A., to give them a splendid interest with the white race also in the new undertaking—the erection of the $75,000 Y. M. C. A. at Ninth and Hemlock streets, will celebrate the semicentennial of the thirteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States. Interesting facts in history are being secured for the historians of that event. Anyone having some telling incident connected with the history of their ancestors, either of pathetic or tragic interest, please send it to Mrs. Charlotta Spears-Bass, editor of The Eagle, 814 Central avenue, California Eagle Publishing Co. This performance will be a red letter day in our history and we will assert our splendid progress as American citizens. The great gains made in the short period of fifty years. All ladies auxiliaries to the Y. M. C. A. and ladies of the charity interests of the city and active patronesses of the performance are asked to meet at the Y. M. C. A., Thursday, May 27, at 3 o'clock or 7:30 p. m. There is a large production being formed. Later announcements will be given immediately after this performance. All performers in Fifty Years of Freedom will be invited into the original company and given from five to fifty shares each in the new company, and additional shares for each rehearsal and participation in the work of the production. Par value of the stock will be $1.00, or over, per share. This company is now forming. It will be unique in the history of the Colored race and will be upon an immense scale. It will be "The Fifty Years of Freedom Co. of Los Angeles." Prominent people of the United States will be members of this company and further its interests in the United States. The incorporated title will not be made public until July 1. The faithful service of those who give their time and money for this performance will be in a measure, repaid. GREAT SATURDAY NIGHT RELIGIOUS DEMONSTRA TION AT THE BIG TABER NACLE, EAST NINTH AND HEMLOCK STREETS. Where Anxious Crowds Gather Daily The plain old Gospel has not lost its power to save and attract men and women, as is clearly demonstrated by the gathering of hundreds of anxious men, women and children of all races, colors and creeds that daily crowd the big tabernacle on the Colored Y. M. C. A. grounds to hear the old gospel of the Son of God; in spite of the blustering winds and the illness of Evangelist Charles P. Jones, the interest remains unabated. The coming of Rev. Dr. R. N. Holt, the noted Oklahoma preacher, whose maiden sermon on Wednesday evening made a great impression on the vast audience, as the man with message. The big midweek woman's services was a record breaker for an afternoon meeting, when hundreds of anxious mothers, wives and blushing maidens crowded the services. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, the "fighting parson," preached on the subject, "What the world owes to a praying mother." The Rev. Mrs. Palmer of the Nazarene church at Pasadena also gave one of the most practical talks on the purity of womanhood that captured the immense gathering. Many a woman as she wended her way from the big tabernacle had learned a helpful lesson and went forth to bless her home life and become the world benefactress. Another Los Angeles, Cal., MAY 22, 1915 meeting which deserves special mentioning was the big children's services Friday afternoon, which was attended by hundreds of boys and girls in the teen years, also many small tots. Evangelist Jones and Dr. McPherson addressed the little folks in such simple language until scores of the children decided to give their young lives to Christ in the days of their youth before evil days draweth nigh. The campaign has brought the Los Angeles Colored ministry the opportunity of their lives to do a mighty work for God in the salvation of souls, in the uplifhting of fallen humanity, the great question of the day is, Shall these men prove worthy of the task? There was a great mistake in closing of the Tabernacle services Sunday evening when hundreds of the unchurched gathered from all sections of the city to the big tabernacle only to find it in darkness. As they wandered away like sheep without a shepherd they seemed to have said, No man careth for my soul. To offset the closing of the Tabernacle on Sunday evenings, a great Sat- REV. M. urday night service has been planned and Emmual Hale, the sweet baritone soloist, will sing "Just Keep Smiling." At the conclusion of this great Saturday night religious demonstration a big parade will be formed at the Tabernacle, and the religious workers will march down East Ninth to Long Beach and back to the Tabernacle and disband. Sunday promises to be a red letter day at the big Tabernacle, commencing with a great old fashioned sunrise prayer meeting lead by Rev. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, for those who are seeking for the deep spiritual things of God. Let the church people make this the greatest early hours worship ever witnessed in the farthest West among the Colored people; 1000 praying men and women are wanted at the Tabernacle next Sunday morning to join this great prayer service. Reader, will you be there? Let us come up to the help of the Lord ```markdown ``` Sunday morning to do battle against sin. The fight is on and the battle cry is Los Angeles, the fight is on, and the battle is raging. There must be no altering among the ministry and laity, perishing souls must be rescued, mothers' wandering boys and wayward girls must be reclaimed. Hundreds of former church members that are lost to the church must be won back. Evangelistic Secretary Dr. J. Gordon McPherson says the campaign has just begun and there shall be no let up until the revival spirit shall sweep the city. At 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon a big union service will be held in the Tabernacle. Evangelists Charles P. Jones, Rev. Dr. R. N. Holt, the noted Oklahoma preacher, and many of the visiting Eastern ministers that are attending the Northern Baptist Convention will be present at this service. Rev. A. C. Williams, leader of the big choir, has arranged special music for this service. The public is urged to come early in order to secure seats. Drs. Joseph T. Hill, chairman; E. W. I. T. HILL plan-sweet "Justusion re-t par-laber-workers to Tab-a red nacle, old seting Mc-seek-things people mours the colored and laber-to twice. Let Lord Kinchen, treasurer, and W. H. Tilman, urge the public to make special effort for Sunday's offering by giving at least fifty cents for the expenses of the campaign, also return the envelopes with their campaign offering, as next week promises to be the greatest week of the campaign, with larger results in conversion. During the pats week many hit the trail and were assigned to the various churches of their own preference. The revival spirit has struck the Angel City and during the week many a dusty Bible has been taken from the shelf and read the first time in years. Broken down family altars are being rebuilt for prayer. The people of the Mt. Zion Baptist church are indeed fortunate in having as their spiritual leader the scholarly Rev. J. T. Hill, under whose guidance Old Zion has become one of the foremost congregations in Greater Los Angeles among the Colored --- people and each service is crowded with some of the most cultured members of both races, to listen to the forceful sermon of this eminent pulpit orator, and hear the greatest vested choir on the Pacific coast. Last Sunday was a great day in Zion. The occasion for a great outpouring at the evening services was the visit of Dr. Chas. P. Jones, the noted evangelist, accompanied by the Rev. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, the evangelistic secretary. Evangelist Jones preached a, remarkable sermon on the Higher Spiritual Life, and swayed the great audience. Tomorrow, Sunday, promises to be another red letter day in Zion, when Pastor Hill preaches at the morning hour on the subject, "Has God laid me aside?" and at the evening hours worship Dr. J. L. Allen of Oakland, delegate to the Northern Baptist convention, fills the pulpit. The vested choir will sing special music, with orchestral accompaniment. Come early to secure a choice seat and hear the old Gospel made plain. E. L. Williams, Favorite Candidate for Council Vote for him To such an extent has enthusiasm over the coming election been aroused in that portion of the city which included Boyle, Euclid, Lorena and Brooklyn Heights that a large number of representative citizens have endorsed and pledged themselves to work for the election of "E. L." Williams as THE HEIGHTS CANDIDATE. Already the list of names subscribed to this pledge numbers several hundreds, and many are being added daily. His popularity is partially explained by the fact that he is the only man on the ticket from this section, which has a population of something like 60,000 people; the residents of "The Heights" district feel that they have a right to be represented in the council, and Mr. Williams can look for a very substantial vote on that account. His platform, as presented when his candidacy was first announced, is a broad one, but clear and fair to all concerned. He stands for the elimination of grade crossings, the taking over of private water companies, full and proper distribution of aqueduct water and power, the development of Los Angeels harbor facilities, interchange of telephone communications between the two companies now serving the city, and other measures looking to the building up of the city along the best lines. He is a young man with sixteen years of active business experience, to guide him in his work, bears an excellent reputation and is well connected in business, church and social cirles. Gifted with an excellent baritone voice, he has been heard in many of our largest churches and always without charge, for he uses his voice purely for pleasure and helpfulness and not for profit, despite the fact that he has had several opportunities of becoming a salaried member of prominent city choirs. In conversation with him you gain the impression of a man of intense conviction, alert to the affairs of the moment, energetic and honest. His past history is one of steady progress and the future should see that progress continued. The election of "E. L." Williams, the HEIGHTS CANDIDATE, will ensure to this section such consideration in the City Council of Los Angeles as it is entitled to by virtue of its size and the large number of people represented. # THE PEOPLES FORUM Number 15 With The above is the photo of Rev. R. N. Holt, D. D., a prominent young clergyman of Oklahoma, who is a new arrival in this city. Rev. Holt is auditor of the Oklahoma State Baptist Convention, president Creek District Sunday School Convention, presiding in the meantime over two growing churches, and active in every race movement in his section. His sojourn in our city will no doubt be an inspiration to himself and those with whom he comes in touch. DEATH TAKES RT. REV. H. M. TURNER, SENIOR BISHOP A. M. E.

FIRST CHAPLAIN IN U. S. ARMY AND ASSOCIATE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN Native of North Carolina, Most Widely Known Divine of His Race—Studied Law in Early Life, but Preferred the Ministry in Which He at Once Became a Leader—Remains to be Interred in Atlanta. (BY CARY B. LEWIS) Bishop Henry M. Turner is dead. A great oak has fallen. In the evening of his life, death stole quietly upon him and his soul has gone to meet Payne, Arnett, Brown, Wayman, Salters, Dickerson, Grant, Lampton and Gaines. Bishop Turner died suddenly, May 8, in Canada from a stroke of paralysis. He was bishop of Canada and was there on his itinerary. He was 83 years of age, was found on the docks near the custom house in a dazed condition by a patrolman and was removed to Hotel Dieu, where it was found he was suffering from a stroke of paralysis. He died shortly afterwards. Bishop Turner was a man of ability. He was an associate of Abraham Lincoln, Fred Douglas, Bishop Payne and Booker T. Washington. He was a remarkable speaker, a deep thinker and a student and known as an astronomer of no mean ability. He was the first man of the race to be appointed chaplain in the United States army, the appointment coming from Lincoln. At one time he was a member of the Georgia legislature. Lawyer and Minister. Bishop Turner studied law at the outbreak of the war. His education was gained by self-perseverance. He was employed in a medical university in early life and studied anatomy, physiology, hygiene and astronomy. He joined the Methodist Episcopal church in 1848 and in 1853 was licensed to preach. He soon became a power as a traveler and lecturer. The degree of LL. D., Continued on page 8 oe Ret NR Se TO AE OS ed aaa Se hap.

Cuddy, of Washington, D. C. filled the pulpit, His sermon was preached from a chart. Subject "The second coming of Christ," as told by John in Rev. 12, 13 and 14th chapters, Daniel the 7th chapter and 1st. Thess. 4:17. This European war is to fulfill prophecy as told in 1st Thess. The sermon was quite lengthy so space will not permit it to go into details. In the evening Rev. McMickens preached the second series on the "Holy Spirit." The Holy Spirit talks to us through the Bible. The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit. We as Christians should get the idea and conception of the Holy Spirit and thus become baptized with the Holy Spirit. By obeying the Holy Spirit we are led by it. The Gospel has the power to save. God's word is sufficient for everything if we will only trust in it. Sunday May 25 Rev. McMickens will occupy the pulpit at both services. Subjects, Morning—"The Humble Exalted," Evening—"The Way of Salvation." Don't forget the rally by the Ladies' Auxiliary, Sunday May 30 at 3 p.m. m. Rev. Kinchen and Dr. Gordon will be the principle speakers. All are cordially invited to attend.

Zion church last Sunday morning during the Sunday school hour while Rev. C. P. Jones of Jackson, Miss., who preached at 11 a.m., was reviewing the Sunday school lesson, about 15 boys and girls of the Junior department gave their lives to Jesus. It was indeed a great hour in Zion. Next Sunday the pastor will occupy the pulpit, and Prof, Isaac will render a vocal solo. The A. M. E. Zion church will be the center of attraction next week. It being the occasion of the annual May festival. Fine program each evening. Tuesday evening, one feature of the program will be an address to the colored citizens of Los Angeles by Chief of Police C. E. Sebastin, candidate for mayor. Let every colored voter hear Mr. Sebastin, who is now asking you for your vote. You cannot afford to miss a single evening. Monday evening the coronation of the May queen. Rev. W. H. M. Dickerson of Riverside supplied pastor of the Second Baptist church of that city is visiting in this city this week. The pastor filled the pulpit both morning and evening we had a great many visitors at each service at 11 o'clock. The pastor's subject was, "The Lord our God is our God." Be ye all of one mind. He said because we had not acknowledged God as one God we have missed Him by looking for many Gods. We have therefore missed the proper conception of man. He also said that men cared so little for their spiritual nature and so much for their religious nature and that their religious nature is in their feeling and the spiritual nature consisted in knowing God for yourself. There will be baptising at our church on Sunday evening after preaching. The pastor will preach in the afternoon at Second Baptist church in Venice. He will fill his own pulpit in the morning. The Missionary society is doing much good under the leadership of Mrs. Loyd. Sister Palmer paid a visit to our Bible class on Monday evening and made a brief talk to us. The superintendent of our Sunday school appointed a committee to arrange for our annual picnic which will be next month. We expect to have a program there and lots of fun for the children on that day which will be announced later. The Christian Aid Society is still taking on new members and we expect to have another ination soon. The Bible class is being well attended by those who are anxious to know more about God and the unfolding of their spiritual nature and much good is being done, it is conducted by the pastor one hour each evening from 7 to 8. Come out and hear them. Great Evangelists to Fill Providence's Pulpit Sunday Next Sunday promises to be a great day at Providence. Sunday morning Dr. R. N. Holt of Oaklehoma will preach and Sunday night Dr. C. P. Jones who is assisting in stirring Los Angeles in the great religious campaign now going on will preach Sunday night. The choir will sing special selections from the evangelist's own song book. At 11 o'clock special solo will be rendered by J. Leroy Albright. At the evening services J. N. King, Providence's sweet singer, will render a special solo. Special pipe organ selections. Christian Worker and Builder Here Mrs. Kate Hindershott of Xenia, Ohio, where she was at the head of a benevolence institution where was taught domestic science and a home for friendless girls and also a place where mothers could leave their children while at work, this place was destroyed by flood. Mrs. Hindershott has decided to locate in this city and establish a similar institution. Mrs. Hindershott comes to this city highly recommended by the people of Xenia. She is now on the outlook for a suitable site. Mrs. Hindershott is stopping with Mrs. M. J. Austin, 2910 Michigan Ave., Boyle Heights. Womanhood Wanted Last Sunday afternoon in the vicinity of a revival where hundreds of men and women were eagerly invoking God's blessings upon their efforts to save men from sin a grave tragedy occurred near by. At 1722 E. 9th St. Mrs. Savannah Jones, the wife of the household, was fatally attacked by one Geo. Ecton. She was removed to the county hospital where she died later. It is said that the crime was promoted by jealousy. Mrs. Jones leaves a husband and nine-year-old daughter to regret her unwomanly actions which resulted in her untimely death.

J. Whiffen for Mayor. In the pending campaign it is not a question particularly of men or of issues, but it is to our minds a question of efficiency, and when it comes to that we do not believe that there is anyone who would say that there is any comparison to be made between Mr. Whiffen and Mr. Sebastian. In these strenuous and tax ridden times it is of vital importance that we should have as chief executive of a great city like ours, a man who has had experience and who is acquainted with the maze of intricate questions which are constantly confronting the very best brains that have to do with the progress of this rapidly growing metropolis. So stripped of all of the muck-raking, or of the sympathetic plays or sensational episodes, or of the pending trial, we must above all have the vital interests of the city in which we live at heart. The Colored citizens, even though they stand alone, should take high ground in the present political crisis and support efficiency in public service, and above the rub dub and bally ho political side show stand for common decency and common sense, and if the scales are tilted by the Negro voters, let them be as they have always been when put to the crucial test, tilted on the side of RIGHT. FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM Shrine Auditorium, Tuesday, June 15 745 P.M. Great preparations are now hastening to the completion of the rehearsals for Fifty Years of Freedom. The lists are nearly filled both in the scenes where the Colored race will participate and the scenes in which the white race will take part. It is an event of extraordinary moment. A grand celebration in song and story and history-making for a race that has progressed more in the same length of time than any other race in the world's history. The Colored race has been at work and the threads that have been woven into a splendid progress will be taken up and in dramatic form will be presented to an audience representing the culture and representative leadership of both the white and Colored races. This performance will be a unique event. A mile-stone in a race's progress, a semi-centennial of events big with interest. Both races helped to make this history. Both races will re-enact these scenes. There are over one hundred representative women of the Colored race who were invited some weeks ago to be active patronesses. There will be over one hundred of the most prominent (white) women interested in human interests of the city—philanthropy and society—who have cordially accepted to be the honorary patronesses of the event. They will attend the performance and enlist their friends socially to do the same. These entire lists and complete lists of the performances will soon be published. All who are to be in the scenes should from now on, rain or shine, attend the rehearsals. When the (white) military, and sons and daughters of the men who took part in the Civil war period, were asked to re-enact those scenes of 1861 to 1865 they responded most enthusiastically, "Command us in any part of the play where we may be needed." They say the entire performance has been received in their ranks with the greatest of interest. I "The Camp Scene" in those days in New Orleans where the Colored men left the plantations by the hundreds and begged to join the Northern army they will re-enact. Also the "Return of the Volunteers," and in the salute to the Grand Army of the Republic, given by the Colored soldiers of Uncle Sam to the G. A. R. and the return of the tribute to the Colored race. The (white) sons and daughters of these G. A. R. men will also appear in these scenes and have entered into the spirit of it—to reenact the scenes their fathers glorified with the giving of their lives for the great principle of "Liberty." The (white) soldiers invited caught the spirit in an instant. It is the semi-centennial of the greatest period in the history of this Republic—and they pledge themselves to do honor to the event. One of the most interesting of the parts of the performances will be the short historical summaries of the different lines of progress of the Colored race in the fifty years since the enactment of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1865, until today, 1915. Statesmanship—Mr. E. Burton Ceruti. Journalism—Mr. F. M. Roberts. Law—Mr. Clarence A. Jones. Medicine—Dr. W. C. Gordon. Religion—Rev. E. W. Kinchen. Y. M. C. A. Secretary—T. A. Green.

Rehearsals every week as follows: Monday—Military. Tuesday—Sons and Daughters of Military and G. A. R. Wednesday—At Y. M. C. A. choruses and old songs. Thursday—At Y. M. C. A., the sexette and Minuet. Thursday, 7 to 8-All Active Patronesses. Friday (or at other times)—The church choirs that are preparing great special choruses under the leadership of their choir director. Monday—The orchestra and quartette. It is a tremendous work and one which will arouse great enthusiasm. It is a subject to be prepared well and only those who feel the significance of this grand portrayal are expected to participate. All who hear of it expect a treat, as the Negro voice is proverbially one of splendid musical quality.

RAILROAD CLATTER-DOINGS OF PORTERS, WAITERS RED CAPS AND MAIDS On the Various Lines Reaching All Centers of Travel. Compiled By Our R. R. Correspondents, Consisting of J. D. Reynolds, Author of the Scrap Book, et al. [From the editorial of the San Fran cisco Chronicle, May 16, 1915.] It is better to lose your money than your friend, but why run the risk of losing both?. If you lose his friendship through a refusal, it is a moral certainty that you would have lost it by a loan. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred men who borrow on the strength of an acquaintanceship are defective in character. It is easy money, and is valued and spent as such. The well-told hard luck story usually argues the long experienced borrower. Some men become just as addicted to borrowing as others are to drink or drug habits, and it is no more a kindness to lend them another dollar than it is to give those others another drink or another shot of dope. Of course, you always think that the person you are obliging is the soul of honor and intends to make every possible effort to repay in the shortest time. He may be, but even then you should consider whether that loan will undermine, not his honor but his character. If it is a question solely of eats for himself and his wife and family then there need be no question at all if you have the money. The same holds true of other basic necessities. But how often are you touched for sums large enough to start a man in a small way of business. If he is going into business it might not be so bad, though even then the personal friendship loan is not as good capitel as that required in the ordinary business way. It is human nature to work harder for a mortgage than to repay a friend. Friends are nearly always the last to be paid, for their loans carry no interest. Whenever a man can pay for financial accommodation in the ordinary method, he is not a friend, but a parasite, if he taps you for a loan. It is far better that he should sacrifice some of those things he is so anxious that you should help him keep. This is not hard-hearted, materialistic calculation; it is true philanthropy, touched with common sense. More men have been ruined than helped by their ability to borrow money. Credit is the foundation of modern commerce, but between commercial credit and capitalized friendship there is all the difference in the world. Personal loans on the security of friendship are generally bad business for the lender and very seldom confer any real benefit upon the borrower. Commercial credit is a business asset, but those who have it never draw upon their friends. They buy their money or goods on deferred payment, and those who make the advances are indulging in legitimate speculation, even when the debtor has no other assets than his character nad business capacity. Lending money to friends is gambling, and the borrower has the loaded dice. Cast your cash upon the waters of friendship and it may return to you after many days, but the chances are that it never will. You weaken a man when you lend him money, and, if he is a Notice. No one has held any financial interest in this paper in any manner, shape or form, except the undersigned, who is the sole owner and proprietor. We make this statement to guard the public against unscrupulous persons whom, we are informed, are imposing on the public and the trade. man, you strengthen him when you refuse. The sooner the borrower is put upon his own resources, the sooner will he develop that self-reliance an ounce of which is worth a ton of your assistance. Whenever you are asked for a loan, if you do not hesitate for the sake of the dollar, hesitate for the sake of the man who wants to borrow it. If he is really destitute his friendship will permit his pride to accept the money as a gift, and while it is more blessed to give than to receive, there is no blessing in lending or borrowing. Shakespeare was never so worldly wise as when he said: "Neither a borrower nor a lender be; for loan oft loseth both itself and friend; and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry."—[From the Scrap Book by J.

And if you have health and happiness you will have all the wealth you need, even if not all you want. Health is the most natural thing in the world. It is natural to be healthy because we are a part of Nature—we are Nature. Nature is trying hard to keep us well, because she needs us in her business. Nature needs man so he will be useful to other men. The rewards of life are for service. And the penalties of life are for selfishness. Human service is the highest form of self-interest for the person who serves. We preserve our sanity only as we forget self in service. To center on self and forget our relationship to society is to summon misery, and misery means disease. Unhappiness is an irritant. It affects the heart-beats or circulation first, then the digestion, and the person is ripe for two hundred and nineteen diseases and six hundred and forty-two complications. All Aboard!
