In anâ€" clent Rome a slave did not dare to have feelings or attitudes except those of obsequious obedience. Toâ€" day, thanks to Lincoln, Washington, and a few others, we are free men, with mental liberty, to choose our own thoughts, attitudes and feelâ€" We are going to try to run a corâ€" ner with a great aim in this little paper. It may seem ridiculous on The aim of this writer is to solve problems. . Not technical problems, because teachers in schools and experts in scientific laboratories do that sort of thing every day. We mean problems of misery, unhappiâ€" ness, dejected spirits, moral probâ€" lems, political and mental attitudes, soâ€"called "spiritual" problems; perâ€" sonal troubles, we might say; all people have them from birth until death. We aspire to find the anâ€" swers. Where we can‘t find an anâ€" swer we shall try to alleviate worry and ease mental suffering. In our opinion, ignorance is the source of a great, aye, an immense deal of perâ€" sonal misery. Misery and worry are the two wellâ€"springs of poison that lead to sickness and serious ill health which may become permaâ€" nent.

The word "spiritual" might properly be separated from its formal connotaâ€" tion of sanctimonious origin. ‘The ancients believed in spirits and anâ€" gels and devils and souls and heavâ€" both are too obscure, too equivocal in meaning.
