- ; • ' PAGE OF BRIGHT FEATURES FOR GEORGIAN READERS DREAMS AND DREAMERS. By ELBERT HUBBARD. Then Is an Idea In the minds of sim ple people that insanity Is always ac companied by violence, ravines and uncouth and dangerous conduct. Dreams are a temporary Insanity— reason sleeps and the mind roams the universe, uncurbed and wildly free. On awakening, for an Instant, we may not know where we are, and all things are In disorder; but gradually time, loca tion, else and correspondences find their proper place and we are awake. Should, however, the dreams of the night continue during the day, when we are awake and moving about, we would say the man was Insane. Swe denborg could become oblivious to every external thing and dream at dictated the dreams, at least the sub ject was of his own volltlpn. If It was necessary to travel or transact busi ness, the dreams were postponed and he lived right here on earth, a man of good Judgment, safe reason and proper conduct Unsoundness of mind Is not neces sarily folly. Acroee the murky clouds of madness shoots and gleams at times the deepest Insight Into the heart of things. And the fact that Sweden In rejecting all he said and taught .as false and faulty. He was always well able to take care of himself and to manage hta affairs successfully, even to printing the books that contain the record of his ravings. Follow closely the lives of great Inventors, discover ers, poets and artists, and It will be found that the world Is debtor to so- called mad men for many of Its richest gifts. Few, Indeed, are they who can burst the bonds of custom and condt tlon, sail out across the unknown seat and bring us records of the Enchanted Isles. And who shall say where originality ends and Insanity begins? Sweden borg himself attributed hla remarkable faculties to the development of a sixth sense, and Intimates that In time all men will be so equipped. The late Dr. Richard Jd. Bucks, It will be remem bered, wrote a book called ‘‘Cosmic Consciousness," wherein he argued strongly that a sixth sense was not only probable, but had actually been evolved In various Instances. Death Is as natural as life, and poe- plan of nature for sending a searchlight flash Into the darkness of futurity. Insane or not, thinking men everywhere agree that Swedenborg blessed and benefited the race—prepar ing the way for the thinkers and the doers who should come after him. THE GREAT WHITE CROP By D.
