Clip of the Day 8/17/2021
From the Washington Times, May 17, 1908:
“‘You are my affinity no longer.’ It was with these words that Mrs. W. E. Stone abandoned husband, children, home, country, and friends—gave up her position as a leader of the exclusive society of LaFayette, Ind., where as the wife of the President of Purdue University, she reigned as a queen, in an atmosphere of refinement and culture, amid an educational environment beyond and above that of the ordinary mortal, where, it seemed, she possessed all this world’s goods that normal mind could crave.”
“It is a weird religion, that of Yoga, known in its generic form, but, in its many mysterious ramifications, regarded in awesome ignorance. That these fakers do perform some wonderful and singly impossible feats, is attested by numerous reputable witnesses. But the power behind all this is still a mystery, clothed in the impenetrable shroud of occultism that only the East Indian can employ.”
This is from around *here*.
