y. PC . 1 •?' • , The Progress of _ Personality By LEONARD A. BARRETT Our thoughtful observation of that the secret of all organic development is assimilation. But in order that there may be proper assimilation there must be present in nature elements which have an" affinity for the plant or animal. The law that like attracts like proves true even on the lowest plane q£ or- •v.. |janic life. In other words, plants • ' Vv ^nd animals grow to their best advantage in ttie absence of 'obstrii<> .^lions'. "A pebble' in 3 scanty brook |'v -!^nay change the<.course-, of many a ,liver; a dewdrop in a scanty brook ' >inay dwarf a giant forever.'?• Storms ..ir/linnually lay bare a large acreage V. • v0f wheat and other grains.They * 4. ' "jfclso tear down trees and destroy ; , the produce of the soil. The ab~ x'" "sence of rain may play havoc with »v - summer crops, or its untimely fall - rum many a harvest. The intense ;V\\ .heat of the suh, tSyend the power the plant to assimilate, causes ' - ^it to wither and die. Parasite? V abound. Every owner of an orchard knows that it is necessary to spray • his trees.' We must destroy the enemies of organic life. We must kill . the parasites if we would have a beautiful garden. Thus, in the organic world, the law seems to be that calamities check development opposing forces destroy even ••'.'Unto death. The human race is also dependent upon affinities from which it assimilates elements essential for growth. But in the development of personality, the law works the other "1 Way. Opposing forces weaken and ~fv i jjjerhaps destroy the plant: but they t "• J&re a valuable and constructive con- JJy \ tribution to the development of per- « • tonality. There is no other way to -release the deep reservoirs of spir- V '• "itual and mental strength than by ; • contact with competition, opposition, t - and even oppression. The enduring f'fr^jgrowth of personality depends upon -A.. - 4the degree in which each person • • stores up and uses the reserve pow- V-r.• -%r that rightly belongs to human _ life, as oxygen belongs to pure air. "With conscious reserve power, no calamity can break down poise, nor destroy human purpose. The prog- *xess of personality depends not upon jan external weapon of resistance Jbut upon internal reason. Contrast the life of one who has never sufjfered with that of one who has drunk deeply from its cup. The -truth is evident: fighting the good fight against opposing forces has given strength to both character h rv,' sou*' "Nothing grows, unless 'it has a central core of identity which does not change." The cen- ; tral core of personality is its idenf~~ r tity with the spiritual laws of hiiman liffe. ; By use of reason, man has found the laws of the cosmic world and as used them in building up the civilization of a great scientific age. By concentration of that same reajson upon the laws of personality, iman will discover greater worlds jSjof human achievement than hither- ^jto known. .

Even the ancients knew that, says a writer in the Washington Post, and used the fibrous rock accordingly. Before putting their dead on funeral pyres, they wrapped the bodies in asbestos cloth so the human ashes would be separate from those of the wood.
