NEW AGE MESSAGE

Dr Elsie M. Port continued her series of free public lectures at the Y.W.C.A. Inst night, Mr L. J. Spence being in the chair. The subject was “ The New Age Message, Health, Supreme Power.” Dealing with the conservation of mental energy, Dr Port said that health, life and supreme power were the things most people wanted in life. Without health, ambition lay dormant, self-reli-ance and self-confidence % r nnishod, and hopes never materialised. The speaker stressed the importance of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual laws. The body was comparable to on electrical machine that used energy and replaced it. It was a battery that needed to be constantly recharged. If that were done correctly it was capable of remarkable magnetic vibration. A successful soul required a healthy body, stated the speaker, and no life was worth while that was not enjoyed. In the body new tissues were built up and wasted energies were replaced by the process of nourishment, digestion, assimilation and metabolism. Emotional storms, jealousy, hatred, hurt feelings, worry, fear, anger, vindictiveness, brooding over-wrongs all these and many other mental states caused the natural energies to leap out, leaving the system demagnetised, a prey to mental, moral and physical failure. It must be borne in mind that the thoughts, words and acts of everyday experience in any field of effort if on the constructive line would gradually build up skill and knowledge and create mental energy. The free public lectures will be continued each e .‘ening.
