NOTICE.
In all kindness and love to our fellow beings and those who have so earnestly soug-ht our advices and support, forces and instructions,
GREETING !
The support we have so far received justifies us in making- our publica- tions of Nature's Finer Forces Library a permanent institution.
Such acknowledgement is intensely gratifying- from a spiritual sense of view, which is the only sense in which it can correctly be viewed.
However, from the financial standpoint, thousands upon thousands of dollars have been sacrificed, besides almost every worldly comfort to reach the point where we KNOW that our teachings are ABSOLUTELY COR- RECT, and if followed, must lead the student to marvelous attainments.
But, on the other hand, students must now and forever cease asking how much money they can make by following our studies.
They must also cease to think that this knowledge can be, or ought to be given out just for the fun of it, or for nothing.
Myriads of questions and a multitude of letters are daily pouring in to us, at our expense, with not even a stamp for return answer.
This is unfair and shows how ignorant the people are of what is really best for them.
Questions that are exceedingly important to many, when it costs nothing to get the answer, are simply very silly to us, because it takes time for one's brains to ripen, so that the questions will answer themselves in due course of time.
However, people have no patience ; and we are here to meet the condi- tions as we find them, to ripen them, to a perfect understanding, as far as we are able, to help doing so.
As compensation is the law of Nature, it is very wise to keep this motto in mind.
As what costs nothing is said to be worth nothing, it is equally as wise not to forget this motto.
We are ready to accommodate everybody and anybody under any and all circumstances in any condition whatever, provided these somebodies set up the proper responsive conditions on their side of the house.
To do so, there are essentials to be kept constantly in mind.
One of these is, that by following our studies the course is growth, just like the acorn to the great oak tree.
Another essential is that the forces we radiate absolutely benefit all that come in contact with us, whether personally or by correspondence.
We never quit. When quittiug comes about, it is the student that quits.
To keep ourselves in such conditions and constantly improving- these conditions, we have physical conditions to meet.
These are : Rents, mail matter, clerk hire, advertising-, printer's bills, stationery, and occasional retirements to regain added vigor by certain drills and practices, besides numerous other material conditions which call for hard cash, to prevent idle questions, until this standard of values is dissolved and the etheric co-operation of thought is understood, reached, practiced, and put into absolute execution.
To dispense of our wisdom to those who apply for it, pro gratio Deo or Publico, "gratis, free of charge," would prove that we don't know what we're talking about much less what we are doing. In another real sense, we do more good than the greatest billionair on earth, and this — Free of Charge.
From our standpoint, we have no more use for money or worldly pos- sessions than a dead man needs the coat of another dead man.
In fact, we make it a rule not to own any material wealth.
We have reached the point where we have no desire to be encumbered with gold, silver, or real estate, no matter how foolish this may appear to any one else.
When we want any thing — we want it for USE — and we get it ; and when through with it, if we have no one at hand to give, or pass it to, we throw it away, for some one else to pick it up, no matter how foolish to do so, or valuable, it may be in the eyes of the world.
Now, in the face of all this, the law of one's nature is that sacrifice must be made to attain anything desired.
Acting from the standpoint of this law, we have concluded to put our publications at $1.50 per year, payable in advance, or 15 cents per number.
This means only " Nature's Finer Forces Library" as will henceforth appear monthly.
Simple letters of inquiry not enclosing- stamp for return answer will have to be laid aside until the writer receives our mental message to send stamps for return answer. If he fails to understand, it will be his fault, not ours.
Letters requesting- a lecture, so to speak, by answering questions on occult matters for the enlightenment, delectation and pleasure of the writer, will receive instant attention by one of our staff, when the nominal sum of ONE DOLLAR is enclosed for the benefit thus soug-ht.
Treatments for diseases of any kind, or for anything- else, absent or present, will be given for THREE DOLLARS per week in advance, or TEN DOLLARS per month in advance.
It is utterly impossible for us to entertain any one on FREE TALKS, OR CORRESPONDENCE without disclosing- our methods or doing- the per- son g-ood by the simple force we radiate.
As we cannot sit and talk or write constantly and constantly radiate such healing- forces or forces that enable success by dissolving- obstacles, we are compelled to require a DONATION of at least ONE DOLLAR for consulta- tions of any kind, on any subject, whether by personal contact or interview or correspondence.
As our methods know of no distance, the physical being- a substantial illusion, we are not inclined to pay official visits, because this is the leaving- of our center of forces.
However, some persons cannot instantly be made to realize the benefits of our forces, and if these will insist on our calling- on them at their resi- dences, we must equally insist on what's fair : TWO DOLLARS, for the trouble.
It is useless for us to say any thing- about g-oing- out of the city, for in some instances we have spent hundreds of dollars to visit certain persons, while others mig-ht never have enoug-h of money, if they owned the world, to induce us to stir, physically.
We are, however, ready to accommodate non-residents, for ONE HUN- DRED DOLLARS and upwards, according- to distance, character of ailments, conditions to be met and overcome ; benefits to be derived ; time engaged ; and worldly wealth of the applicant.
Knowing what we know, money is au illusion produced by man's will — we therefore, some times call for very large sums.
We do not desire to be considered independent or arrogant after one has read this circular.
Let us tell you we would much prefer to retire into one of our Temples to attain by further training to the perfection, which our Elder Brother Jesus, attained to, but we are forced to remain in the world, with the people, and in midst of the battle's fire, so that the enemy may teach us how to fight, when we don't know how.
For us, this enemy is now in the invisible ; for you, it is in the visible.
To cut a long story short, and to do you ABSOLUTE JUSTICE in all that immortal love implies, we can do nothing for you, if you will not do something, for some one else, through those who have attained sufficient spiritual potencies, to be practically independent of worldly conditions, by following the teachings and practices which will be contained in the follow- ing numbers of " Nature's Finer Forces Library.''
LOVE AND MAMMON.
We have attained to that degree of love where our love knows no bounds, no limits, no persons, no conditions, allowing the most precious of our affections to roam at will throughout the Universe, well knowing that such a one can neither be injured, nor lost to us, no matter how distantly separated by the physical, for we are able to be constantly, as it were at one's
side, lest a hair of its precious head should be menaced with injury.
It is an occult law of your nature that the more you shall require for your money, the less you shall receive.
Money is one of the illusions of the physical conditions and therefore, nothing permanent.
So, he that expects much for a great deal of nothing, gets nothing and a great deal of illusion.
It is Love that you want; that you are seeking; love that is positive, vigor- ous, life giving ; warm, soft, creeping and exhilirating ; increasing in in- tensity ; pure, chaste, loyal and immortal, in the ever present, and the future will take care of you.
The people are pining away and dying for such love, such force, such power.
Learn how to unfold this divine power in your heart, in a scientific manner, and the world, its wealth, its people, and even Nature's unseen forces, and Heaven itself, are your servants.
See how some married couples take up in health and vigor, soon after marriage, by the union of Love's forces ; but, on the other hand, see how many of them go to decay, and death, when love dies out.
If you wish to avoid such misery, without alluding to the present, then learn how to renew, reinvigorate and how to perpetuate the vigor, the power, the life, the very love that once made you so unconsciously happy.
Try to realize this by thought concentration and there is no limit to what you may attain.
Such love is the awakening of the soul's immortal and most glorious godliness, in all that this word implies.
It is a power, commanding and compelling obedience by its chastity, abundance, and perfection.
A Love that is power to tame the lion into the lamb and to raise the lamb to the strength of a lion.
Power that would crush the savage into the simplicity of a child and raise the child to a stalwart manhood and womanhood.
Love, whose least breath would be as the music of the spheres, wiping
away the tears of sorrow and making- the sad cheerful ; as happy in physical solitude as in the midst of the Hosts of Paradise.
Love that would refuse a crumb to the pauper, and on the other hand, pull him back from Potters' field, returning- him his life, that he might attain to the same supreme heights as yourself.
Love that would return life to the mad dog rather than kill him well knowing that he, too, is a creature of God, and one with you, as you are one with God.
Power that in the midst of the battle's hottest fires of life would act as an unseen shield, protecting you from the bullets of prejudice, jealousy, spite, animosity, and the vindictiveness of the fanatic.
A Love that is true, tender, gentle, yet stern, thrilling you to the core, because of its marvelous purity ; shedding its life-giving rays on all alike, as a blessing, a benison, as does the sun in mid heaven.
A Love, patient, generous, forgiving, knowing no sin, no death, no per- son, but only the good in all things ; fearless, bold, dashing, if need be, in asserting its individuality, worshipping at no shrine in the Universe but its own.
Love that gives bloom to the cheek, sparkle to the eye, tone to the voice, elasticity to the step and body, growing warmer, stronger and immortal as it goes.
Love that melts the heart, as of a woman, and as quick and unflinching in the performance of duty — JUSTICE — as is the unexpected bolt of thunder and lightening through a clear, sunny sky.
In a few words, Love that is as fearless in the midst of the savage and the beasts of prey, as it is in its own home, on its own throne, in that state or condition symbolized by the word heaven, which means perfect, eternal bliss, the much sought " Philosophor's Stone," or " Fountain of Perpetual Youth," making life while yet on earth, an eternal song of endless joys.

along- from one point to another, calling- potently to the souls of all who will listen. The solidness of the flesh vanishes, and realization of the power of the spirit resident in men to mighty works seems accomplished in the im- mediate consciousness. Other booklets are to follow on such subjects as these: Power of the Will; What to Eat to Attain Power; How to Breathe to Secure Marvelous Results; Potency of the Lord's Prayer; Planetary In- fluences on Character. The list is too long a one to reproduce here; but vital questions of every sort are considered in this series. New Orleans : Joseph Maille, 126 Carondelet street.
FROM THE CITY ITEM OF NEW ORLEANS, DEC. 11, 1898.
PRACTICAL OCCULTISM.
This volume belongs to the occult science library, and is intended for those who would properly utilize their occult powers in the attainment of true success. This is a deeply metaphysical work, and the author has handled it most carefully. He shows a careful • attention to detail. The marshalling- of inner forces and the use and practical aid of the same is de- lineated. "In time, man's thoughts will become so powerful and his will so intelligent, that his present lumbering methods of carrying ideas and inven- tions into outward effect will be abandoned."
This is a most excellent aid to any one desirous of cultivating occult forces, and to any who would learn to live the true life.
