Excerpt from The New Mosaic, 1904

Long years ago, when the world was waking up, a clever and daring man was possessed with an idea. It was a good one, and if Columbus had lived to see its outcome, he would forget all the hardships, dangers and bewildering thoughts that he once had, in the glories of the present. He would say, It is as I said.

A powerful government gave the word and set this idea into activity. Great excitement and tremendous expectations were the result. But in this excitement Columbus and what he stood for were soon forgotten. Other men arose with new ideas; people became more daring and the result of all this recklessness is seen in this wonderful land that we own as ours.

Who is this Columbus of the twentieth century that has been so daring as to present his theories of a possi ble new route to a land of mental wealth? If he be still alive we hope he may never realize that the book of reality is far from the book of his dreams.
