PLANET
MOTION
PARLANCE
DESTRUCTION
This thing and that we call motion,
may prove to be the first and most
important word of designation in all
the languages of the world. All thingB
of the earth are positively dependent
upon some form of motion. As soon
as it ceases, all evidence of life ceases
and that in which motion formerly
resided begins to disintegrate.
In the common parliance of the
word and our more generally accepted
understanding, we adop.t the beliel
that motion breaks up or destroys. In
the sense of contrary motive action
this is true. For any motion that it>
destructive is always contrary or di-
verted motion. A lead bullet traveling
from the muzzle of a gun may strike
an object and destroy it. This is cer-
tainly destructive action. And a
thinking person be accredited with
•aying that the lead projectile did its
damage because it was in motion. For
as long as it remains idle, or in mo-
tion it is harmless.
It may also have a motion of slight-
er inclination from south to north.
And at the same time it may be trav-
eling in one general direction. There
are three motions all in one.
It is the action and not the motion
of the bullet, that causes the destruc-
tion. For the motion of the projectile
is contrary to the laws of itself, gra-
vitation, molecular attraction and
particle composition. So we cannot
say that it is the motion of the bul-
let that causes the harm and be cor-
rect in our belief for pronouncement.
Motion is the strictest sense of the
word and interpretative to the rela-
tionship that it bears to itself, is al-
ways peaceful and never of harm to
any object.
And not alone in that sense, but
motion is never destructive. It is the
only original creative force that is
known in all the universe. A planet
revolving in space can never in any
way be of harm either to itsejf or to
another heavenly body, so long as it
conforms to the laws of motion that
are the vitality and government of
the body itself. This planet may be in
motion from many different aspects.
It may be turning fvohi east to west.

**************
Yet it would seem that a body could
not maintain its composition in unity
and balance and traverse space under
this condition. But, that is not all.
There is more than likely another mo-
tion in this same body. It may have a
motion of contraction, and along with
this a motion of expansion. Thus
there are five in all. Then to the larg-
er and original five, there can be
countless millions of related and in-
terrelated motions among the parti-
dles and masses that comprise the
whole. Now, so long as these motions
ire not contrary motions, but remain
a motion, no harm can come from
hem. Rather they will be beneficial
.ind will increase or multiply the to-
tal. For motion is the changing of the
position of one body to that of an-
other. Then we run into the first
great conflict in regard to our
thought of this matter that we call
motion.
Readily and almost without dissent
the reasoning person will know that
no two bodies can occupy the same
place at the same time. And the
changing from position to position
causes trouble. And there is just
where the vast difference comes
about. We think of motion as being
something that is of body and sub-
stance. We are accustomed to judge
all things of motion by the move-
ments that are relative, visible and
resultant. So that we naturally come
to think and accept motion, something
that ¡s moving in mass, s
But in truth motion is an invisible
substance. It cannot be seen and is
only recognizable in the results that
it produces. Thus, since motion is an
element, (as yet undefined and un-
appioximated in origin and action,
except as it is known in its result-
ants) jt cannot be a thing of harm,
for the operation of all natural laws,
in planetary systems, plants, physi-
cal bddy thoughts and all else, must
be beneficial and constructive, else
they cannot remain in the body of
natural organic processes.
It is when-they leave this accepta-
ble form that they become destruc-
tive. And when they leave this accep-
table form they are no longer mo-
'on, but force in action that is con-
vary to motion. A steam locomotive
lavehng at sixty miles an hour is the
lerfection of mechanical motion and
Lm / °vu°f i"i,Iions of motional
impulses within its component parts.
A bioken rail, or deficient part of the
mechanism, or anything else that en-
teis into or effects this perfect mo-
tion, is another cause that has ad-
versely acted upon the perfect mo-
anj'-n^a1"* Au° cease its motion
and in place of the motion that exist-
ed only a few moments before, to take
on contract action that becomes force
misdirected or diverted from its per-
fect'Path of intended motion. As soon
as this element enters into the mo-
tivation of the force generated from
perfect motion, we cease to have mo-
tion 'n G °f ¡t have ^«true-
laws that are good, becomes a body
without motion and possessed with
destruction.
It is ike the explanation that the
law student soon learns. There is no
such thing as a "bad" law. For as
soon as any rule or Icrfal force ceases
to be good, then it also ceases to be
a law and becomes something else.
So long as that train or planet re-
mains tinder the propelling power of
motion, it is good; the minute or sec-
ond it gets away from it, it ceases to
be a planet and becomes a shooting
stor or meteor, or ceases to be an en-
gine and soon becomes a wreck.
And that is also life. A body in mo-
tion must be a* unit of cooperation
and coordination. When this ceases it
becomes a sick body, a degenerous
body and a bndy that by disobeying

VISION
PUBLIC
OPINION
COMMON L¿W
"The way of a fool is right in his
own eyes; but he that harkeneth un-
to counsel is wise." Prov. 12:15.
The first thought that we get from
the reading of this text, is that of the
wisdom of a man who knows that of
which he is writing. There is no re-
buke to the man who is the fool. If
he so chooses he is allowed to go the
path of his own selection. On the
other hand the path of wisdom and
happiness is offered to him, if he has
the vision to make the more profit-
able selection.
It is regretable that the path that
a man selects should effect other peo-
ple. If this were not true, then a man
could select that which he would
choose, either good or bad and there
would be no reaction to others. But,
the sadness of the choice in regard
to the paths of life, lies at this very
turn. As an individual I may have a
perfect right to select what I want
to do and do exactly what I please
whether or no. If that were all there
were to it, no one would care.
From the standpoint of the indivi-
dual and his or her particular concern
to fellowmankind in general, that if
only too pointedly true. And the con-
cern and worth is not in relation tt
me or you, but in the matter of oui
relationship to another. One may
choose to drive a car at the rate ol
a hundred miles an hour. So far as he
and the car are concerned, there is
no particular objections. For he will
not hurt the highway, and if he comes
to grief, he is the one who suffers.
The car knows nothing about the
smash-up that may follow. And fur-
thermore it is his car, and he has a
right to do what he pleases with his
property.
New, if that were all, there would
be no complaint to register. But, his
driving at a speed that pleases him
in doing what he wants to do, is a
speed and a type of action that en-
dangers the lives of others. And in
this wise, it is the understanding man
who finds it pleasing to harken to the
counsel of the wise. We are directly
responsible for all deeds, thought and
action tj others of this earth.
If a ma so chooses he has a per-
fect right to go out and get soaked to
the gills. Spraddle himself all over a
sixty foot highway and make a mon-
key out of himself in general. That is
his personal right. No man can say
nay nor yea in regard to what he does
to himself. But, the regretable thing
about his doing what he pleases is
that he can't accommodate himself in
this manner without eventually col-
liding with another. His choice of
purely personal action, involves an-
other and it is the suffering that re-
sults to the innocent that causes the
hurt und harm. If a man chooses to
drag himself through the filth and
crime and shame, that is his business
and his alone. But, there is no crime
in which he can indulge without it ef-
fecting someone else. If he chooses to
steal, he must take frQai another. The
other is the immediate sufferer. Any-
thing that he may choose to do in the
manner of wrong action will effect
someone, somewhere else.
Quite often we fail to get this slant
on our laws. They are not enacted
purely as a means of punishment to
ihe offender, but are rather instituted
in order to protect the man who
chooses to do the proper thing. It
would be a giand and glorious world
if we could all do exactly as we pleas-
ed. If I had my way about it I would
never strike another lick of work as
'ong as I lived. If I could, I would
never shi)ve and would wear old
lothes. But I can't do what I want
to do, for it is an offense, not against
myself, but against my fellowman,
with whom I must live.
Now if you don't believe that it is
an offense against your fellow man,
just you let your beard grow long
and matted and unkempt and wear
'.>ld dirty clothes and it will amaze
v;>u how soon your fellowman will
turn aside from you. This thing of
our choice in life as it effects and af-
fects the other follow is a most ser-
ious matter. All of civilization is ba-
sically huilded on this postulate. Out
of it grows the great code of common,
unwiitten law. From it there develops
Mi" titanic force of^ popular opinion.
And there two Facts are the most po-
tent and powerful the human race
.■•.■'i ivieH. Common law and popular
opinion. They are mightier than arm-
ies an dstronger than fortified forts.
And they all come out of this accep-
tance, that it is not a matter of what
I may personally choose to do, bat
how my choosing will terminate for
irood or bad to another.
