THE UNSEEN IN CHARACTER BUILDING.
CONTRIBUTED.
Some may think this an untimely
subject to write upon in this -vork'
a-day age and expect people to read
It is quite true that the world is
very, very busy with material things,
and the perplexities of living are
altogether engrossing to many. But,
in the midst of the everyday rush it
is refreshing to think that there is
something besides earth and stone
and wood and precious metal; some
thing beyond the vail of cold, hard
facts, and which we intuitively feel
is not adverse to us, and which holds
great, unknown possibilities for our
wonder-loving feet. It is well even
for the prosaic mind to ponder on
these things, and, to the poetic soul
the anticipation of and real entrance
into the potent sweetness and ever
lasting truth of the unseen is an
elixir hich brightens his youth
every day that he lives. That I be
lieve everyone to be interested in
the unseen world I might state as a
very good reason for writing about
it, and indeed, this reason has its
weight, but, the passing of the un
seen life out of familiar and dear
objects of our ma'erial world has
been the prime cause of my interest
in this subject.
"We know that the unseen is
truly the real." I quote from a
friend who dropped this sentence in
aa earnest argument on faith. Let
ue see if this be true: we all have
seen the soft blue flash purple, and
the brown eyes gleam with a fierce
light; we say such a person is angry.
How do we know he is angry, have
we seen his anger? No, but his eye
flashes fire, his nostrils are dilated I
and his breathing is spasmodic. By
these signs, then we know that hid
den somewhere back of the eyes
id ere is a raging spirit, b or there
are evil spirits as well as good. The
evil ones are like theives, coming
generally in the garb of an angel of
light, they steal from us all that is
dear. They are to be avoided as
strenuously as we are to court com
munion with the good. And I
think if we communed more often
with the good, if we strengthened
ourselves by exercise in it we should
be the more "able to judge the evil
that tempts us and save ourselves a
deal of trouble
To live abundantly we must look
with eves of faith beyond substance,
beyond space, beyond, time into the
great invisible reality which is back
of every object our eyes may see or
our hands touch; behind every wind
that blows and every cloud that
gathers. It is not our business
that we live in a world of shadows,
but it is our business to look beyond
the shadows unto that which ehall
endure. Corn will some day cease
to grow and the hunger no longer
be fed by it. Every eye will loose
its lustre, every limb its cunning,
But that invisible something which
converts substance into power, which
prompts the secret spring: of all
miracle will ever remain the same,
Here lies the secret wisdom so es
sential to the greatest and most
satifying achievement of human be
ings, the laying hold 01 the un
seen.
It has been said that the great
est persons of all ages have been
those who saw visions and dreamed
dreams in their youth, and who,
looking outward and onward with
eyes of faith as life advanced, draw
ing from the unseen world the sti
mulus for their efforts, have unself
ishly lived up to the high calling of
mind ruling over matter, spirit over
material and this has been their
road to success. By "vision" I do
not mean diseased imagination
springing from over-wrought nerves,
which sometimes makes the mortal
eye see things which are unreal and
uncannv, but 1 have reference to
the higher vision of the soul of
the eye of faith, which is indicative
of the purely unselfish life, of that
nobility of character more often un
conscious of its own worthiness and
surprised on receiving an ovation.
To those who have not gone very
far in the race of life and who have
hearts to understand, I would say,
cultivate your tulent for seeing
visions and dreaming dreams of the
high order. Open your eyes of faith
on the unseen world about you, even
under your feet in the sprouting
s?ed, around you in the swelling i
buds, over your head in the air, and
up to the blue dome of heaven, ask
ing always. What am I? What is
life? Then strive to answer youn
own question, taking for your ex

No one at any time has seen the ample the Man of Galilee, the Naza
love that kindles the eye, or the
scorn that curies the lip. He sees
the eye light up and knows that
love is there; he hears the merry
laugh and thinks of humor and
good will; he hears the oath, sees the
angry pallor and knows that rage is
in the heart. Then one day physi
cal death comes to the body so filled
with human pession, the spirit de.
parts from its earthly tenement and
the eye no longer flashes, the lips no
longer smile. Then it is that we
must admit that to the unseen be
longs all the power of the human
body and mind. Who has not look
ed upon the lifeless clay that once
held a dearly loved one. Our love
is the same, but that which we love
is gone, has slipped awav unseen we
know not whithei. The dead body
only reminds us of what has been.
We heap flowers upon it and bear it
away with tenderness for very rev
erence to the unseen part which has
fltd.
No man at any timcj has seen
God. We look upon the face of
nature and see signs of a master
spirit, just as we look upon the
face of a friend and detect a spirit
back of it like unto our own. No
person has ever seen or ever will
see the force that shoots out the
green buds of spring, that bursts
the chamber of the little seed and
makes it take root and grow. It is
the manifestation of the unseen
uou, the master spirit or the um
verse. We should do well if we
lived more by signs in this world
than so much by physical evidence,
All things are naught to us except
for what they indicate. (Jorn grows,
matures and feeds the hungry, this
is a very material result but it
brings to a thoughtful mind the
indication of a power which conyerts
food into blood, bone, muscle and
brain.
And, so it is that nothing in this
world amounts to what it should if
we do not see its relation to the un
seen world.
He who lives solely to cultivate a
fleshly appetite and gather to him
self whatever his mortal hands may
grasp (for the mere pleasure of
grasping, gets his reward. I would
not under-value the pleasure of
palatable food, nor the necessity of
gathering around us such an amount
of goods as our ingenuity may
honestly allow, but if we reach far
ther than that if we lay hold of
the great limitless unseen, our live
muat necessarily abound with every
grace It is our business, to live,
and live abundantly. God consid
siders life on this earth a very great
favor to mankind. lie promises
