Mr. Thomson J. Hudson, in his _Law of Psychic Phenomena_, has
marshalled a great array of authentic evidence, gathered from the
researches of many Psychological Societies, which all prove the power
of the mind over itself and over the body, and its amenability to
suggestion, under the receptive condition of faith. One can not read
this able work without becoming convinced that Emancipation is entirely
possible. Any one who wishes to learn something of the power stored
within him, will do well to read the _Law of Psychic Phenomena_.
The success of the Keeley Cure in conquering the habits of drinking,
opium, and tobacco, is proof of the efficacy of germ treatment where
the germs are sensual, or mental. If bichloride of gold can cure such
dread passions of the appetite, may not bichloride of _common sense_
cure the bad habits of the mind that cause them?
A MASTER WORKMAN
[Sidenote: Source of All Wealth]
And now, comes a scrap of evidence that is valuable because it is
furnished by a man whose experience is wide among the people who make
the wealth which we all enjoy; to whom we are directly indebted for the
comforts and luxuries of life; and whose endorsement of an idea or
reform is necessary to make it become a feature of our system or
government. He went west many years ago from New York, a mechanic by
trade, and found employment in the shops of one of the great railroads.
In time he was advanced to the position of foreman. In private life he
is now a Baron Bountiful in the service of everybody within his reach.
As Masterworkman of Labor Organizations, he has urged the just cause of
his confreres with the success that follows earnest conviction. In the
intimate confidence of his employers, he has presented their side of a
controversy to the men without any of the misrepresentation of a
demagogue.
[Sidenote: Brings Sunniest Comfort]
He is the President of a sound Building and Loan Association, without
salary, not to make money for himself, but for the purpose of helping
his men to build and own homes; and those who have felt his assistance
in that direction, and owe him debts of gratitude for various
benefactions, are numbered by the hundreds. Whenever there is sickness,
he brings solid help and the sunniest of comfort; and when there is
death, he knows just how best to serve the afflicted family with those
delicate attentions which relieve them from repulsively material
details, his presence always bringing comfort even under circumstances
in which people want most to be alone. His sympathy is universal, and
reflects itself into the hearts of all with whom he comes in contact.
