FOREWORD
No thought is more engaging in its loveliness
and nobler in its reactions upon life and conduct
than the thought of "Immortality," and the great-
est service that one man can do another is, by word
or deed, to give this sweet expectancy of the larger
life the fibre and the consistency of a certitude.
The critical and exacting spirit of our times can
no longer be satisfied with a purely subjective
religion. Our age goes to nature for its science,
and the day is not far away when its prayers and
its creeds and its worship will be founded on the
vital realities of life.
The reflective mind has taken a distaste to the
barren syllogisms of theology. It asks for a God
who is rooted in reality, and an immortality that
has its sanction and demonstration in human ex-
perience.
Until recent years, the arguments supporting
the thesis of a future life have been altogether meta-
physical. If one asked for a demonstration of this
high and noble faith in the endless persistency of
the ego, the enquiring mind has had to content
itself with logical proofs deduced from abstract and
vi Foreword
remote generalities — such as the indestructibility
of matter, the persistency of force, the rationality
of the universe, and the universality of the belief.
Each of these arguments has a certain evidential
value, and all of them taken together have a proba-
tive force amounting to a moral certainty; but
"moral certainty" after all is a vague certainty,
and in this great matter the mind has the right to
ask for evidence that is as cold and cogent as the
evidences that go to establish the undulatory the-
ory of light and the Copernican system of astron-
omy. If the world that is ever growing more
critical and judicial shall continue to cherish the
belief in the immortality of man as a real force of
life, its faith must be founded, not on the subtleties
of logic, but on the more solid ground of the hard,
indisputable facts of the psychic world that is en-
gaging, by the pressure of its extraordinary data,
the attention and the adhesion of many of the fore-
most men of letters, of art and of science. How-
ever supercilious our skepticism may be, unless our
minds are hermetically sealed by the blind bigotry
of prejudice, we are coerced by the benign tyranny
of facts to admit that beyond this normal world in
which we all meet on a democratic equality of
faculties there is a supernormal world — the world
of clairvoyance, clairaudience, telepathy, autom-
atism, inspirational writing, and other strange
Foreword vii
and extraordinary forces — a supernormal world in
which a few elect spirits are qualified to live and
labour, hy virtue of certain affinities of the psychic
organism with which they are peculiarly endowed.
Our leading men of science — Oliver Lodge,
Crooks, Alfred Russell Wallace, William James,
and many others — tell us that we can no longer ig-
nore this supernormal world, and that it calls for
investigation and discovery just as insistently as
the world of matter calls for investigation and dis-
covery.
It is one of the educative functions of this book
to bring the supernormal world with more vivid
impact upon the consciousness of all those who are
seeking light, and who are courting truth with open
minds.
The spiritual message that this book brings to us
in its reverent pages is the largest wisdom that man
can attain upon this earth. Its high and divine
motive is the enthronement of the will of God in
the processes of history and in the realization of the
destiny of the individual, and its central theme is
the subordination of the will of man, perfect in its
freedom, to the architectonic purpose and the in-
vincible plan of the Eternal.
The noble lesson of this brave and helpful book
is the final apotheosis of the human will, through
the gradual illuminations of experience, sweet and
viii Foreword
bitter, and through many and repeated reincarna-
tions, in which man has ample time and scope to
escape from the confusions and incoherences of
blind impulse, and to adjust, in happy, progressive
submission, his own will, without compulsion or
coercion, to the unswerving decree of the Infinite.
The philosophy of life contains within itself no
more enlarging, no more consolatory counsel than
lies buried in the white and tranquil deeps of the
sovereign will of God — the master theme of this
noble volume, which is as rich in the treasures of
wisdom as it is compact in expression. And yet to
my mind, noble as is the ministry of the wisdom
that comes to us through this treatise, its first im-
portance is not the deliverance of philosophy it
makes to the devout spirit, but rather the deliver-
ance of the proof it affords to the enquiring and
exacting intellect searching for light on the great-
est of all problems, — the problem of man's con-
scious, personal survival of the catastrophe of
death.
The writer of this book — a man whose life is
dominated by the most austere ideals of truth and
honour — a man of sagacity and culture, whose life,
in its chosen sphere of operation, has been an un-
broken success — tells us that the teachings and
revelations which find expression through him are
in no sense the product of his own reflection; that
Foreword ix
his function as an author has exhausted itself in the
duties of an amanuensis; and that he has been the
passive, though conscious, vehicle of celestial intel-
ligences. The author of this volume is dowered
with the rare gift of clairaudience. He has written
what he has written, in form, in style and in sub-
stance, word by word, under the conscious impacts
of discarnate intelligences — not the less real be-
cause they are mystical and inscrutable. Of
course, there are many people, enslaved in propen-
sions dominantly mundane and material, who will
waft aside as impossible and incredible the author's
faith in the supersensual origin of this treatise.
But it will come to those who have a hunger for the
Infinite, a passion for the Eternal, as a courageous
and persuasive witness to a belief that is growing
with man's growth in vision and in spirituality —
the belief that the personality of man is rooted in
the eternities, and that there is a solidarity of spirit-
ual life and light and love that comprehends all
worlds, all planes of conscious life — angelic and
human — within its cosmic grasp, with the master-
ful ease with which gravity comprehends all planets
and all suns.
The day is not far distant when man shall stand
upon the peaks of the cumulative wonders of his
spiritual experiences and affirm, without reserve
or hesitation, "I know my soul to be immortal."
x Foreword
And it is the blessed privilege of this treatise meas-
urably to aid in lifting this great faith in the eter-
nity of man's being out of the twilight world of
speculation into the world of high light, the world
of demonstration and of certitude.
Joseph Anthony Milburn.
THE WRITER'S PREFACE
AGAIN it has been my privilege to be the
writer for those in the wider life beyond
earth who would help men to win that
wider life. The intent of this volume is
to help men's faith in the wise and benevolent pur-
pose of God, which follows the life that He made
while it is man and forever; to help their under-
standing of the function of man's work in the pur-
pose of Him who made man's life immortal self;
and to make clear that the higher purpose of God
must be, and is fulfilled by the free will and pur-
pose of man himself.
The thought gives a new meaning to work, and
brings to him who will think a new sense of the re-
sponsibility of selfhood. It is helpful thought for
the philosopher, and for the "man in the street";
thought which each man may take to his work, to
his reading, and to his thinking, and find it help
for them all.
As was the volume "Thought for Help," so is
this volume; not my word, not one little word
xii The Writer s Preface
mine, but a word for help from those in the wider
life who know that it is truth.

INTRODUCTION
Dr. Coulter.
WILL Higher, the will of Omnipo-
tent God, wills in man's life, wills
in life's work forever. Man, life
purposed wider, fuller, more glori-
ous life, finds his wisdom by God's purpose. That
wisdom life takes to freed life. Willed the man's
life for teaching, willed man's work also for teach-
ing, the life immortal wills for its own future by
God's purpose. Yet man is ruled, and life is ruled
by Omnipotent Will. None may escape His will;
none may forbid His purpose. Man, wilier on
earth for life immortal, has the power willed from
God. The life which for earth is man finds, as
God wills, the worth that frees that life from earth.
Man who wills, find help from these words.
God grant that the book may help many.
I
WORK OF MAN
FIRM WILL OF MAN
Dr. Coulter.
WILL Higher, whose purpose life
made by Him fulfills, was when
life made was not. His will rules
the life which he made. His will
rules the Universe. Man who has from Him life
has by His will the work of earth.
Man who works life's earth work has for his use
in that work the will of life itself. That will, free
while man uses it, wins for man the worth which
life must find in man. Will firm life wins by
man's work. Man, who works using life's free
will, learns by the teaching of life's work of man
the lesson God purposes. Work then man has that
life find firm free will, firm for work, firm for
worth. God wills for life freedom won by will of
man.
Will Higher, Will who made man, wills for him
work. That work teach man his Maker wills; that
by work the will be made firm his Maker wills; that
by work his juurpose be made firm God wills. The
2 Will Higher of God
life purposed man's work is taught by the work of
earth till it learns that which its Maker purposes,
will and purpose firm; and that which God pur-
poses life shall find, firm will, firm purpose, it finds
through the way He provides, the work of earth.
Work then man has by God's will that through its
teaching life win the firm will and purpose which
free that life from earth.
Think, man who wills weakly. Man must work
life's earth work ; man must find the firm will which
life takes to freedom. Work of man teaches life
which wills its wider work by the firm will which
man must find.
Man wins for life through his work of earth the
firm will which helps life freed. Life wins firm
will when man has won it. For life man works,
for life he wills. "When life has by the work of
man won the firm will which by God's purpose it
must, He wills for it wider work in wider life.
Work helps man, the life willed freedom, and with
the firm will which man finds by his work life wills
for its wider work. When life has worked man's
work well, when it has finished that work, God frees
it from man. Man then, whose work he does well
or ill as he chooses, must find firm will or liis life is
not freed. Think, man of earth, think well.
Work of man is purposed to teach the life for
which Higher Will purposes wider work beyond
Firm Will of Man 3
earth. Work of life man has, work which life must
finish before it wins worthiness for its wider work.
Work purposed man has. For that work man
wills as he chooses. But till he wins firm will life
works on earth. Remember this, who work weakly.
Man must find firm will that life find wider life.
Will of life's Maker, Will that made man life
for worlds, is the Will of Omnipotence. Will of
the Master of All wills that life find worth first in
man. When life has found in man the worth
which, by the purpose of God, frees from earth,
man's body dies. Life lives on, freed from man's
work, freed from the infirm will that hinders worth
in man, and worthy the wider work which God wills
for life freed. The work of life in man on earth is
purposed to teach firm will. Found by life of man
then must be the firm will needed when life in free-
dom works its higher work. The finished work of
man makes life worthy higher work. Will firm
won by life in man's work helps wider life's work.
Will firm won for life worthy in man wins life's
worth in life wider. Man then must finish well
life's work of earth, for until that work is finished
life is held to earth. Man, then, has for his life to
find the firm will that life finds help for work and
worth forever.
Will with which man uses the life of earth, will
which finally wins the freedom that Will Higher
4 Will Higher of God
purposes, is the power of life personal. That life
which wills is man while the work of man is to be
finished. That work purposed to teach must teach
that which Will Higher purposes before the life
wins higher life. Will that must then, man has;
will that wins purposed worth because it must.
Life's must is to win worth of free will. Free will
man knows he uses. His life personal uses will in
the work of life for which wider work is purposed.
Then free will he uses finally well because his man's
work is by Higher Will purposed to be teaching
for the will. Man wills his worth using free will,
yet that free will finally fulfills God's purpose be-
cause it is by the work of man taught. Wise use of
free will finishes man's work; wise use of free will
man, the life, finds finally because life is working on
earth the work which by the purpose of Omnipo-
tent Will teaches that life wisdom. Will free
finally becomes wise free will because man is life
for which free will taught is purposed.
The work of life man has for his work. The life
must by man's work find firm will. Man wins that
firm will himself. The weak man who works
weakly wins but further work of man. That life
which works well in man wins firm will for the life
beyond man's world. That which Will Higher
purposes life of man must fulfill. The firm free
will which man finds life finds. When life has
Firm Will of Man 5
found that firm will it wins wider life. Remember,
you who work weakly, the man himself wins that
will which frees life immortal.
Man works his work using the power which life
will forever use; man wills that work well finished;
then life has won wider work. Man wills that life
be worthy; life has found that which brings wider,
fuller life. Think, man who works. Life works
as you do. Think well.
The will which man uses is life's free will. Life
wins its worth forever using firm will. But while
life is man it perhaps wills weakly. Then the life
waits for wider life. Then will firm life must find
in man or wait for freedom? Yes, but the pur-
pose of life's Maker life finally fulfills, and, willing
firmly its worth, it finds the wider life. Wise pur-
pose of the Wilier of Life makes life free in will,
and when life wills wrell it finds free will the help
Will Higher purposes it shall be finally. When
life wins firm will in man it has found that will
which Will Higher purposes that life in man must
find. But that will life wins for itself. Work
purposed teaches will; mistakes will teach. Man
wills his purposed worth himself. Will firmly used
by man wins for his life the worth which life must
find by God's purpose.
With powers of life man works his man's work,
using free will in that work for purpose that will
6 Will Higher of God
free be made will firm. The will which life uses
forever is the will which life uses for man's work.
Then will is by the life of man taught, for Will
Higher purposes that life find by the teaching of
work the firm will that helps life while it is.
What from this follows? This — will firm man finds
by wise use of free will made his for purpose that
life personal find firm will on earth. Well life
works finally in man, well life wills finally in man,
for by that Will who wills for life forever man is
willed wider life won by his free will. Would life
willed worth find worth of free will? Life must
find worth, and the will of life is free. Then man
finds by life's free will the worth which brings wider
life.
Will Higher wills for life the work of man.
That work teaches finally the free will of life. His
work man has that, while he finishes it, he shall win
the firm will that life takes to higher life. The
life which wills is man while it needs man's work
and life for teaching. Work teaches firm will.
That will by which life wider wins its worth forever
is man's will taught by the work and life of man.
When life has found the firm will which life must
find before Will Higher frees it from earth,
life has won wider work and higher life. The pur-
posed worth of life man finds willing for work and
worth of man.
Firm Will of Man 7
Work purposed to be life's work of earth man
has. The life which works well in man, willing
firmly to finish that work, wins by that work done
and finished well the firm will by which life wider
finishes its wider work. Help for life the work of
man is purposed to be. Life wins firm will when
man has won it. Then man finds for life which
must work wider work the firm will by which life
finishes its wider work.
The work which man has is willed for him by his
Maker. He who willed worlds to be man's work-
ing place made man the worker who finally learns
through his work. The life works in man, the life
immortal. That work which teaches man, then,
teaches life itself. What would man be without his
work? The dreamer who finds no worth. Life
of man works by God's purpose, for man is made
for work. His man's work teaches firm will, and
by firm will his life wins the wider life which is pur-
posed for life immortal. Man wills for his work
himself, yet that work is purposed for him by the
Wilier of his life. Man who works the work of life
immortal, the work that is purposed to teach life,
wins through that work the firm will by which the
life wins freedom from man. But that life which
works in man on earth is life for which its Wilier
purposes wider life and wider work. Then the
life which works in man, which finds firm will
8 Will Higher of God
through man's work, fulfills by firm will the purpose
of its Maker that it find on earth worth for wider
life. Man wins that worth using the life's free
will, and the free will given to man, being thus well
used, fulfills the purpose of Him who made man
life of personal self. Will Higher purposes for
life to which He wills that worth of life which per-
mits wider life, and the free will which He gives to
man, life immortal, fulfills His purpose.
Man who works the life's work of earth is by that
work taught firm will. Man himself finds by the
work which is purposed for teaching the firm will
which life on earth must. But life is many men.
The life which finally wins the purposed firm will
may be weak for many incarnations. Yet life for
which firm will is purposed must finally find firm
will. The life of man which wins wider life by
God's purpose lives the man's life willing by free
will; yet finally it learns wise free will, and that wise
free will, firmly used, fulfills God's purpose that life
find worth for wider life.
What will has man? The free will which life
t a Ices to wider life. Then by that will life in man
finds the worth for wider life. What worth frees
life? Worth found by man. Then man finds the
worth that wins for life immortal its wider life of
freedom from earth. Yes, will free wins wider
Firm Will of Man 9
life, will free that man uses now must forward life
toward the worth that God purposes, or life fulfills
not His will. Then life wins not its freedom from
earth. What must life find for its earth worth
then ? This : — worth of will firm, worth of purpose
firm, worth of work well finished. Worth that man
finds his life finds, and that life find wider life man
wills himself. For man what thought for help!
He who reads must think.
We who, with the man who writes the words we
tell, would help men, would help their thought of
work. The work which man has we know is the
earth work of the life which wins wider life when
its earth work is finished. Men think of work as
for earth help only. We know it helps life im-
mortal. The man wills for that work using the
free power of life immortal. Man wills for his
work using the free will which God wills to he help
for life forever. Man is that life which wins life
wider. Life personal man is made, and for his
work he uses the free will of personal self. Then
man wins by his free will work better of life freed.
Work purposed to be teaching man has ; that work
teaches life firm will; firm free will wins the life
wider which by God's purpose the life personal
must. Work, then, which man thinks helps but
earth life, is help for life forever.
10 Will Higher of God
Bishop Wilberforce.
The work which man has, work which is purposed
for teaching, is the first work of life immortal.
The work purposed to teach man, then, teaches life
immortal. That work which is by Higher Will
purposed for teaching will teach the life which wills
to finish well man's work. Work for life is willed
that life find help through its teaching. Man's
work is first work of life immortal.
Will which life uses in man is the will which life
will forever use. Will which life finds help in the
wider life must be found by that life in man. Then
man must work well the life's work, for through
that work he finds the will which helps life wider.
Work purposed to teach life man has. That work
teaches finally by God's purpose. But life in man
may will that work ill finished. Then while man
works using life's will he wills that life find wider
life, or that life remain man. Purposed work
teaches finally, for that which Will Higher wills life
finally fulfills. But the man who incarnates life
this time may will well or ill, for life of man is free
in will. What work has life when man wills
weakly? Further man's work. Life which wills
to finish well the man's work wins the firm will which
helps in wider work. When will is weakly used
life wins but further work of man. Then for the
work of daily life man must will firmly. Self finds
Firm Will of Man 11
in man the will which helps life wider by man's own
choice.
Work willed for man life finishes in man; but
that work God wills for life of man as teaching for
wider work. Free in will man is, yet Will Higher
purposes for life wider work than that of man.
For wider work man wills then when he wills his
man's work well finished. Life wins life wider then
on earth. Will firm must win the wider life. Man
wins the wider life that by Higher Will life must,
working the man's work well, using for that work
man's free will, making firm for worth the free will
which by the purpose of Will Higher man has as
life immortal. Work of man teaches free will, for
work that life has on earth is by the Will Higher
purposed for teaching. Man wins wider work
taught by life's work of earth.
Will Higher, man's Maker, wills that life work
man's work. When the life is by that work taught
firm use of free will, life has learned that which work
is purposed to teach. Purposed work of man
teaches life for which worth is willed. Taught by
the willed work of man, life of personal self wrins by
free will its worth for wider life. Firm will work
teaches, and that which life must of its free wTill find
life finds by help of the free will taught firmness in
the work of man.
Work which man is willed, purposed for teaching
12 Will Higher of God
of life immortal, is willed to be the earth work of
life immortal. That work which by the purpose of
Will Higher life works in man will teach life, then,
of necessity. But free the will of life is, and that
free will of necessity wills for that work which must
teach. What will does life use in man? The free
will of personal self. Then by free will man works
the work which is purposed to teach. Why may
life which is purposed work for teaching will for
that work well or weakly? Personal self life is;
will free of personal self it has. Life personal is
by that work which Will Higher purposes taught
wise use of free will ; and the free will taught as the
Will Higher purposes it shall be taught, brings to
life the worth which life is purposed to find. Work
then teaches wise use of free will. Thus man, who
works life's work and uses life's free will, finally
works well, finally uses free will worthily, and the
purpose for which work is willed that work fulfills.
Will that man has is life's free will. That will
life uses in you, the man. Why use it ill, you who
would find wider life ? You work that life find will
firm. Why use will weakly in work? Man must
find firm will that life find freedom. Think well,
man who works to-day. Will firm man finds
through work well finished; will firm life thus finds.
Man wills for his work that it be well or ill finished
as he chooses; but work must teach firm will by
Firm Will of Man 13
God's purpose. Will firm won, life finds freedom.
Why work weakly then, O man?
Man finds through the teaching of work his firm
will; his life has won firm will then, and that will
finishes well life's work of earth through which life
is prepared for the wider work of life freed. Will
firm helps life forever. By man's life the free per-
sonal self must win the firm will that helps life while
it is.
Will firm life first finds in man. That will God
purposes that life shall find in man. Who may
forbid His purpose? Yet He makes life's will
wholly free. His purpose then must be carried out
by the free will which He gives. For life man wills.
His will is by life's work taught until he wills well.
Man wills well finally? Yes, man, for that man
who is life taught by life's work of earth knows that
life wins worth only by firm free will. Man then,
who is life working that work which Will Higher
gives to him, wins for life that firm will which life
must.
The will which man uses firmly wins the worth
that life by the purpose of Will Higher wins on
earth. Finally will free life personal uses well, for
thus life's Maker wills. But man finds the firm
will himself that life must find before Will Higher
frees it from earth. Then why will weakly, man of
earth? Would life win freedom through w<
14 Will Higher of God
will? Man thinks his work helps but life of earth.
We know that through the work of man life finds
the firm will it takes to wider life.
Will Higher wills that life in man find worth
for higher life. The will which man uses to win
the purposed worth is life's free will. Man wins
his wrorth by free choice. When life makes right
choice, when it has learned the lesson which Will
Higher wills it must, that firm will it must use in
winning its worth, self wins fuller life. Work
teaches free will. Man finds the worth which life
must using the free will taught firmness by the
work he knows. His life then has found the firm
will which by the purpose of Higher Will it must
find on earth. Taught by man's work life for
which firm will is purposed finds that firm will.
Each life finds it finally. Work then teaches that
which life finds help while it is. Man who works,
find help from this word. Will Higher wills for
life while life is; but life's will He makes free.
When life wins by its worth found in man the wider
life of freedom from earth, better life begins for
self. The firm will found in man wins for life freed
its worth. The will man uses is life's free will.
Then wider life wins wider worth to immortality by
the firm will man finds himself. Think well, man
who uses life's free will.
Will for work life finds by work finished well, for
Firm Will of Man 15
finished work wins firm free will. Man finds firm
will through the teaching of work; his life wills
that which he wills; then when man wills to finish
that work which his life has for teaching, he finds
for life the firm will that life takes to freedom from
earth. Wise life hecomes through the teaching of
work. Help work becomes when the man finishes
it well. Then man who wills firmly for his work
finds the firm will by which life frees itself from
earth. Heed the word, man who works earth work.
That work which man has is the work for earth
of life immortal. The work of life immortal,
whether it is work on earth or the work of wider
life, is by the life's Maker purposed to teach the
life. Willed to be man for earth life, willed then
the work which life of man has, the life for which
Higher Will purposes will by that work be taught,
for thus life's Maker wills. While life works the
work of man it learns firm will, firm purpose.
Those willed powers life uses in man and forever.
Then they are by the man's work taught. While
that follows, it must be said that work will not al-
ways teach because life of man is made life of free
will, which free will it may use well or ill. Then
when the life works well, using well the will and
purpose by which work is finished well, the life wins
readiness for wider life and wider work. But if
life wills to work ill, using purpose and will weakly,
16 Will Higher of God
that life remains a worker of man's work. Then
that which God purposes to be well used is ill used,
and life which is willed finally to find the wider life
of freedom wins but another life of man. Why
then let life work weakly, man to whom your Maker
gives will and purpose? Think well.
What is life that wills? The life willed from the
creation of the Universe man is. Is life willed
worth beyond man's worth? We know it is willed
that worth. How does life win that worth? By
firm will for worth used in man. Is life willed
worth forced? Man has free will. How will man
find the worth which is willed? By free will his
own. Then man wills using free choice the worth
which was from the creation willed for life im-
mortal.
Man wins, then, the firm will that life takes to
life higher. That worth which life in man finds by
firm will life takes to life higher. Help men to will
for this life, we pray Thee, our Father.
Miltiades.
Man works by the purpose of his Maker. His
will helps in his work by that purpose. His purpose
won through man's life will be purpose of life freed.
Man wills as life purposed worth won through the
teaching of work, and life worthy he finds by the
help of firm will won by work well finished. Won
Firm Will of Man 17
by man must be the firm will, the firm purpose which
life takes when freed to wider life and work.
Then think, who work man's work. You live
working for wider life. Will firm that you find
through work finished will help life in its wider life.
Will Higher, will of life's Maker, wills that life
win wider work through work of man. Will
Higher wills that man's work be life's work for
earth. By His purpose that work teaches free will.
Thus life wins wider work by free will taught by
man's work.
Work purposed for teaching man is willed.
Man's life is purposed worth won by firm will free.
That firm free will man finds through work well
finished. Then work purposed teaches firm will by
which life finds the worth which Will Higher pur-
poses. We who would teach men wisdom tell that
work willed for man's life will teach if man will
have the teaching. Why work weakly, man who
works life's work?
Work purposed to teach life man has; will pur-
posed to win freedom man has; man is life which
finds worth purposed using will free. Life must
find free will its help. Man finds his worth him-
self. That worth, purposed though it be by Will
Higher, must by man himself be found. We tell
that which will help men who will think.
When man wills life wills. Then firm will life
18 Will Higher of God
finds as man. By will firm life finds freedom from
man, yet finds that firm will in man. Work teaches
life which must, by the purpose of Will Higher,
find firm will. That firm will life finds help while
it is. Man wins for life immortal the firm will
which helps that life forever.
Will firm life finds through the man's life of
earth. Man is that life which finds firm will.
Would his work teach him that will? Yes, for
work of life on earth Will Higher purposes to teach
firm will free. The firm will free won through
work well finished of man helps to win for life its
worth. Would life forced find worth? No. Will
for worth is free will used well. Man knows that
will free is not forced. But Will Higher purposes
for life that it find will for worth in man. Man
finds firm will through work well finished ; worth is
won by free will well and firmly used. Think, man
of free will.
Will for worth life finds in man, for thus God
purposes. But why may that will which is by God's
purpose finally to be well and firmly used, be weak?
For the life of man He wills personal self ; with free
will He endows life of self; and for that life which
He wills to be free personal self He purposes free-
dom and wider life than that of man. Wider life is
won through the life worthy of man. Will free
makes life worthy finally, though life, being per-
Firm Will of Man 19
sonal self, may choose weakness for this life of man.
Yet worth life in man must find finally, for thus
Will Higher wills. Then weak will God permits,
but purposes that finally weak will be made firm
will by life in man. Work is purposed to teach will
free. That will made firm through work wins the
worth of life. Man finds through will for work
well finished the firm will which wins for life its
worth forever. Man who works to-day, find firm
will you may. Think.
Will free man has, and by will free he wins free-
dom for his life. Will free must be made will firm
then by man, for that will wins the freedom man's
Maker purposes that life shall find. Man wills of
his own choice whether he works firmly or weakly.
Why will weakly, O man? The life must be freed,
for thus Will Higher purposes. You win by your
work, if you choose, the will firm by which life finds
freedom.
The life that works man's work wins worth for
wider work. The life that wills man's life worthy
wins help for wider worth. When life has found
the worth purposed, it has won wider life. Man
wins that worth himself. Will that man uses
firmly, will that helps life in man, will that life takes
to wider life, man finds bjr the teaching which God
wills that man have, the teaching of work.
Will Higher, the Will who rules life forever,
20 Will Higher of God
makes life for earth man. His will follows life
while it is. Man works because He wills. Life
finds freedom because He wills. All that is fulfills
His will. Purpose of Will Higher that follows
life to eternity makes that life worthy His presence
finally. The life which man knows prepares for
the wider life. Will Higher wills that life find
first worth by life of earth. That first worth wins
for life freedom from earth. Wider life, freed
from man, wills its worth by the firm will found by
man. Think, man of weak will, think well.
The will of Him who purposes for life while it is
makes that life free in will. But His purpose that
life, though free in will, fulfills. By that free
power the life made personal self wins the wider
life which its Maker purposes. Man who works his
man's work is life for which life wider, work better
is purposed. Man must win that wider life using
his free power. Will that makes life worthy life
finds by the teaching of man's work and life. Why
then waste time, you who work for life? Why
weaken in will to live worthily? You yourself
must win the freedom which your Maker purposes
for life personal. The firm will which frees life
man must find. That firm will man finds by God's
purpose, but he finds it himself. Why wait then,
man who has free will?
The man who works man's work willing for that
Firm Will of Man 21
work firmly, wins for life itself firm will. Will
firmly used in the work of man wins firm will for
life which has further work to finish in life wider.
Work is purposed to be help to life. Then when
will is firmly used by the man who works, his life
finds help.
Will for worth of life, firm will that helps life,
man finds, for by his worth life wins its fuller life.
That which the higher will of life's Maker purposes
for life, freedom from earth, is won by the firm will
found by life in man.
That firm will by which life wins the freedom
which Will Higher purposes is found by life in man.
That firm will man finds through work finished
well. Then life for which God purposes firm will
finds it by the teaching of work.
WILL FOR LIFE WORTHY
Dr. Coulter.
Man with life immortal is endowed. By the pur-
pose of Higher Will life must find worth. Man
wins that worth by his own will. Then man who
wills by will free fulfills finally the purpose of his
Maker. For life worthy man finally wills, for thus
God purposes.
22 Will Higher of God
Man, the life whose will is free, has that will from
his Maker. Will firm life finds while it is man;
thus life's Maker wills. Man wills his worth using
the will which life will forever use. Man wins the
worth which frees life through wise use of his free
will. Man finds the firm will for worth by which
life immortal wins its worth forever.
Man wills his worth as life purposed life wider
and worth higher than that of man. Will free he
uses, for life must find worth for itself. The wise
purpose of Will Higher wills that man be self per-
sonal. Then life of self by His will finds by free
will its worth. Made life of man, willed wider,
fuller life than that of earth, self immortal finds by
the life in man the firm will for worth which God
purposes shall make life worthy to immortality.
Wide life will be when freed from man, wide its
thought, wide its purpose. Man but begins life's
work and, by the way God purposes, the work and
life of man, life immortal wins its will for worth.
Will which helps man helps life, for man is the
life who wills. M an wills as life for which life wider
is purposed, using the free will which life
will use while it is. Man finds the worth which life
in man must, using life's free will. Will free which
man has is willed power. When by willed power
life finds purposed worth, Will Higher wills for
that life freedom, wider work, and fuller life. Will
Will For Life Worihij 23
free man has, the life's free will. When by life's
free will man finds the worth which God purposes
that life personal shall find on earth, He who wills
for life while it is frees life personal from man's life
and work. Will free man uses as he chooses; yet
when taught by the willed life in man, life immortal
chooses worth. Will free man knows he has; then
will free he knows he must use in work, and for
worth. By the will which man has, life's free will,
life personal, the life which is purposed wider life,
finds the worth which brings wider life. Help the
work of man is by Will Higher purposed to be.
Man works that work which Will Higher wills
shall finally teach life, and by the willed teaching
which life has in man life purposed worth finds will
to win that worth.
With life immortal the Will Higher wills that
man work on earth. His will for life immortal is
that finally the life find wider life. When the
worth purposed by life's Maker is by man found,
He translates that life to wider life. When man
wins freedom he wins freedom for life immortal.
Well has man worked, well has life willed when
freedom is found. Man lives earth life preparing
that life immortal find wider life. Won by man
who wills his own life worthy is life freed.
Will for life worthy life finds in man. That will
made firm wins life's worth forever. Man finds
24 Will Higher of God
first worth of life. That first worth begins the
worthy life immortal. While life wills it uses free
will. Man uses free will to find the worth that frees
life from earth, but that worth is purposed by life's
Maker. Then man, who wills worth or unworth-
iness with free will, man who lives life worthy if he
chooses, wins by life worthy the higher life of free-
dom.
Life worthy man will find when for life worthy
he purposes firmly. That worth which man wins
through use of firm purpose is won by personal life.
Will of personal life wins for life which is by God
purposed worth, that purposed worth. Man is life
of free purpose; his life wins the worth he wins;
his life wins that worth by his free choice; but that
purpose which man has is willed to be the power
o£ his life immortal. When man uses firmly
the purpose which is willed to help life forever he
finds worth which frees life from man. Will for
life worthy then helps life of man. That worth
which life wins in man helps the freed life. When
life has found freedom life wills still with the free
power it used in man. And life purposed worth
finds the purposed worth while it is, using the free
power of life personal. Wise life becomes through
the teaching Will Higher purposes. Man, the life
of earth, wins wisdom through that teaching which
permits life the wider, fuller life, yet man finds the
Will For Life Worthy 25
worth for fuller life by his own choice. Purposed
life worthy, helped by the Will who made life per-
sonal self, that life wins worth to eternity using life's
wise free will. God purposes, and life fulfills His
purpose.
We who have won this wider life, who would win
lives of men to the will for worth which helps to
bring this life, have found the will for life wider
which God purposes that life shall find. We live
willing for wider and wider life. The worth of life
which man finds using his free will brings for life
the will for life worthy that wins for life freed its
wider and wider life. Will for life worthy life finds
in man by God's purpose. That will life freed
holds while it is. What thought for help there!
Man who wills firmly that his life be worthy wills
that life find worth for the presence of its Maker.
The will for worth that life finds first in man brings
finally the worth that permits life to be with God.
Wilberforce.
Man was willed his life of earth. Through that
life and the work which Will Higher gives, man the
life of personal self finds the firm will for worth
which God purposes that life shall find before He
frees it from earth. Well then must man work,
well must he will, that life find quickly the firm will
which makes life worthy.
26 Will Higher of God
Man must find firm will for worth of life before
life finds freedom. Why then use will weakly, O
man? You find, if you will, the worth that frees
immortal life. Then will for worthy life to-day,
man who has life to free. Think well.
Man who is life wills for that life its worth for
earth. Man who is life finally finds for that life the
will for worth that Will Higher purposes. Will
firm wins for life its worth. That firm will each
man must find? No, life is free in will. God pur-
poses will firm, yet makes life personal self. When
life wins will firm of its own free choice it has found
the will that frees. For that will work, man of
earth.
Man wills his worth of free will, but the Will
Higher purposes that life find worth using that free
will. Life wins for itself that which of God's pur-
pose it must, working the man's work, using for
teaching the man's life. Self immortal finds finally
the worth that by God's purpose brings wider, fuller
life. Will which life finds through the life of man
wins for life immortal its worth to eternity.
The will for life worthy must be won by man.
Why then may will which is purposed to be made
firm be weakly used by life in man? Will for life
personal is free. When that free will is by man
made firm for work and for life worthy, life per-
sonal wins wider work and wider life.
Will For Life Worthy 27
Will for life worthy found by man life takes to
wider life. Will that man makes firm life takes to
life wider. Then, man who wills, you make life
worthy freedom. Think.
The will for life worthy which man finds by his
firm use of free will life takes to wider, fuller life.
Wise the man who wills that his daily life be worthy.
Thus he wins the firm will for worth. The life
worthy finds wider life, but the life weak and un-
worthy remains the worker of man's work. Heed
the word, man of weak will.
The life who finds worth through firm will in man
wins the wider life. That firm purpose which life
learns through free will well used life takes to its
fuller life. Man finds the firm purpose through
which life wins fuller life. His firm purpose wins
the life worthy. That firm purpose helps life while
it works the higher work of life freed. Think, man
of earth, think wisely.
Miltiades.
Will for life worthy man wins finally, for he is
life that wins freedom by life worthy. His will,
free for worth or unworthiness, man has from his
Maker. Then weak use of free will life's Maker
permits. For that which He purposes that life
shall find in man He permits life to will well or
weakly, for life made man is personal self. Then
28 Will Higher of God
weakness He purposes? Will free may by His
purpose be weak? Why that thought? He made
life personal self; then the power which He gives
to man he uses well or weakly by his own choice.
Will free man finds is firm will free when his life has
learned through the teaching Will Higher wills.
Free will used well teaches; for free will used un-
worthily life finds penalty.
Man who works life's earth work, man who wins
life's worth that frees from earth, is life for which
the Will Higher purposes forever. Then man must
find the worth which frees, and, being life personal
whose will is free, man must find that worth of his
own free will. Man then, who must win for life the
worth which frees, finds that worth himself. Why
then weaken in will for life worthy, man of earth ?

WORTH OF LIFE
Dr. Coulter.
Will Higher, who made life that wills, made
life self. Man, the life willed selfhood, is life
which is purposed wider life in freedom from
worlds. Man, being self, wills that which he
chooses. Will free man has, being personal life.
Then will free must fulfill the purpose for which
Worth of Life 29
God gives it. Will for worth is will free well used.
Man wills for life the worth which Purpose Higher
wills, using his will free. Man the life wins free-
dom through wise use of free will. Worth pur-
posed, worth that life wins hy free will, life takes
to personal wider life. Will free life uses while it
is. Man who has his life from God wins worth for
the wider life purposed by God using the free will
which God makes his power. Man wins the wider
life himself willing his man's life well and worthily
lived. Man uses the will which life uses while it is.
Personal life of self wins that which Will Higher
purposes using personal will. Free while life is
the will is ; but the purpose of Will Higher life ful-
fills. Will free purposed to be help man has. The
purpose for which life is made personal will free
fulfills. Man, free in will, wills for life immortal
the worth which life purposed wider life must find
on earth. Will free then wins freedom; will free
wins wider life. Worth of life man finds using his
will free.
Man is purposed the worth that frees life from
man. That worth found by man is the worth of life
immortal. The freedom which life wins is by man
won. The man wills as life to which is purposed
worth, and that worth is won of free will. Man
who works learns the wise use of free will. That
wise use wins for the life of self the worth for wider
30 Will Higher of God
life. Man finds that worth; he must, for he is the
life which is purposed wider life.
Man who is life which by the purpose of its Maker
wills of free will lives man's life that is purposed for
teaching firm will. That life win worth of free will
the Higher Will purposes; that life win by man's
free will the worth for wider life He who willed life
purposes. The worth He purposes must by free
will be won. Man is the life for which Higher
Will purposes freedom won by itself. Then will
free becomes firm will free because He purposes
that by will free life shall win its worth. Man wills
that which he wishes, but his wish becomes that life
find worth finally, and the purpose of Higher Will
is by the free will of life fulfilled.
The value to man's life of the help from work
well finished man knows, but he thinks that work
finished helps but the man's life. While life lasts
work finished is help. Man works the work pur-
posed to teach life firm will and purpose. Worth
of life is won by wise and firm use of the will and
purpose which man uses in his daily work. Man
who works the work of earth, willing firmly that the
work be finished well, learns what work means.
Then his life has learned that lesson. Worth of
life is found through the firm will which life learns
through man's work finished well. Then the value
Worth of Life 31
of work is plain. Purposed by life's Maker to
work, self wills for that work of free will. Then
the life of man, which is personal self, wins by the
firm will which it learns through man's work the
worth by which life personal wins wider life. The
purpose of Him who wills for life the work of man
is by that work fulfilled. That work teaches life
the firm will and purpose by which life wins its
worth for wider life.
The life worthy of man wins for the life im-
mortal wider, fuller, worthier life. That will
which He who wills life into being gives to that life
fulfills the higher purpose of life's Maker. Free
that will He wills to be, but purposes that life win
by that will the life worthy of man which prepares
for the purposed wider life. Then, free though
will of life be, that power finally fulfills His pur-
pose who wills for life immortal. Wise life be-
comes through the teaching which Higher Purpose
wills for it in man. That wisdom well used frees
the life from man. Well life wills finally on earth,
for the life willed freedom by its Maker finds that
freedom surely.
Life finds its first worth in man. Why then let
will for worth be weak? Each life must find the
worth that frees. Will free each life must use in
finding that worth. Man who wills for life, think.
32 Will Higher of God
Man who is life immortal works on earth the
work willed for teaching of life immortal. That
worth which He who willed life to be purposes is
won by the firm will that life learns through work.
The work which man has is purposed to help life
immortal. Life finds firm will when man finds it.
That which work of man is purposed to teach it
does finally teach. The work willed for man
teaches life, and the will firm won by man life has
won. Then why let will weaken in the work of life,
man of earth ? Think well !
The life that wins first worth in man wins that
worth by God's purpose. His purpose that life
find worth the life fulfills by its use of firm free
will. That worth which life finds in man frees life
from earth. What worth must life find to win
freedom? Worth which life knows it wills
itself. That worth brings freedom. Then that
life which thus finds freedom has won the firm will
for life worthy that life uses for its wider worth.
God's purpose follows life while it is. His purpose
frees life from man; His purpose frees life from
weak will; by His purpose life finds wider and wider
worth of its free will; His purpose is that life finally
win of free will the worth that fits life for His pres-
ence. Then the free will which is man's frees life
from earth. That free will makes life finally
worthy the very presence of its Maker.
Worth of Life 33
Wilberforce.
Will Higher wills that finally life in man win
worth for wider life. The life in man He made im-
mortal self. With will free He endows life of self.
We, freed lives, were men. That we know by
memory of the life of man. We were freed when
God willed. We tell for men the words which we
hope they will heed. Life wins freedom by God's
purpose, but life wins freedom by His way, free will
of self personal. Think well, you who would win
freedom and wider life.
Life wills for itself the worth which by the pur-
pose of Will Higher it must find. When for it-
self life has found its worth, God wills it wider life.
For worth will free man must use, being life per-
sonal, and the free will which God wills to life per-
sonal, must fulfill His purpose for that life. Worth
life must find in man. Free to will worth or weak-
ness, life personal finds will free is help finally.
Then by will its own life finds the worth that frees.
Think well, you who will to-day for life immortal.
Man works the work that by the purpose of God
teaches life. His will for work he makes firm by
well-done and well-finished work. When man
works well, finishing his work, he wins for life im-
mortal the firm will by which that life wins its free-
dom.
Will for life worthy life finds first in man. That
34 Will Higher of God
which Higher Will purposes that life shall find on
earth, man finds. The worth which frees life from
man man must find, then, for man is the life for
which worth for freedom is purposed. When man
of free will finds that worth, life personal wins the
wider, fuller life. Think, man who wills to-day.
Will Higher was when life which He made was
not. For life which He made He wills forever.
Man who works by His purpose, who lives the life
of work because He wills, is life for which wider
work is purposed. The wide powers which He
makes personal powers man is given. By wise use
of all those powers life wins the worth for the wider
life which God purposes for life personal. Man
who wills by free will, whose purpose is free, whose
mind he uses as he wishes, must become by the wise
use of all those powers ready for wider life, or he
waits for freedom. By the wise use that life must
learn the life purposed wider life finds the worth for
wider life. Think, who would win that wider life.
Your own powers must win it. Think well.
Man wills his life worthy himself, but Will
Higher purposes for life that it find worth in man.
Then will which He who made life personal self
gives to man must win that worth of life which God
purposes.
Man who is life for which worth is purposed, man
who wills his worth himself, works the work which
Worth of Life 35
by God's purpose teaches free will. Then his worth
is won by free will taught. We who have won the
worth which brings wider life would help men to
wise thought. May the word help many, we pray
God.
When man wills that his life be worthy his life
personal thus wills. Man by his free purpose be-
comes life worthy. We who were men remember
the many lives of man, and the memory helps us.
When the man wills his life worthy life personal
wins wider life. What from this would be the
thought? Why wait, O man, to will your life
worthy? The life of self you are. By the will of
life personal, your own will, life personal finds free-
dom. Think well.
Miltiades.
Man works the earth work purposed to be teach-
ing for life. Life of self wills for that work, and
wills it well or ill finished as it chooses. Yet life's
Maker purposes that the earth work be well finished.
Though life is free, Will Higher purposes for it.
Will for life worthy life finds using the free will
which it uses for work. Man wins firm will using
free will in work. God wills for life that it win
firm will in man. Will firm frees life from work
of man. Will firm man finds through the purposed
teaching of work. That firm will frees life from
36 Will Higher of God
earth.
Worth life must find in man; thus Will Higher
wills. The will of life made personal self is free,
but for personal life Will Higher purposes worth.
Man willing his own life worthy makes life im-
mortal worthy. Will Higher wills that life find
firm free will in man. Man finds that firm will
finally. That firm will life finds for itself. Man,
being life willed worth, and being life personal free
in will, finds the purposed worth by the personal
free will. The purpose of Him who wills for life
that life fulfills by will its own. Will Higher wills
for life while it is man, though He wills that it be
personal self free in will. Will free man has by
the purpose of his Maker. His will free he must
use firmly then, for thus, and thus only, will he win
freedom for his life immortal. Well then must the
man will, for life wins freedom when will for worth
is firm.
The life of man has man's work to finish before it
wins freedom. Will free man uses to finish that
work, and when his will he uses well life finishes that
work well. But man works weakly many times.
Then the will which life finds is weak, and life wins
not freedom. Will firm man finds himself. By
will firm life finds the worth for wider life. Think,
man of weak will.
The life which for earth is man wills there for
Worth of Life 37
wider life. That worth which frees man finds.
His life wills as he wills. His worth is life's worth.
His life personal wins the worth for wider life of his
free choice. Think, man of earth.
The life which works well its man's work, finish-
ing it well, wins firm will and purpose by which life
wins in wider life its worth. Will firm, purpose
firm, life finds first through the teaching of man's
work on earth. When life has won that firm will,
that firm purpose which God purposes for life of
man, He translates life to the wider life.
Will that life find worth man finds through free
will wisely used. Firm purpose life finds, then,
through man's free choice. Firm purpose frees
life. Worth which man finds through wise use of
firm will and purpose frees life personal from man.
Think, you to whom God wills worth which you
must win yourself. Think well.
Man wins himself that worth of life that frees life
from man. That will which he uses, being his for
wise use, he finally uses wisely. His firm purpose
helps the firm will that wins freedom. Then life
for which its Maker wills worth finds it using free
will and purpose firmly. Think, man to whom your
Maker gives those powers ; think well.
We, the lives for whom firm free will brought this
life, would help those who will heed the word we
tell. Each life finally finds this higher life ; but for
38 Will Higher of God
that which brings this life the life which is man must
will by its free will. Each life finds this life, but
will free must win it.
Man feels faith that his life will be wider beyond
life of earth. Freed life knows it is wider. Man
wills for his higher life by free purpose his own.
Freed life wins its wider life using the firm purpose
found in the fife of man. Life which has found
in man firm will holds that firm will while life is.
II
PHILOSOPHY
WISDOM OF MEN
Dr. Coulter.
WILL Higher, man's Maker, pur-
poses that by willed thought life be
led to wise thinking. First willed
thought wise for man is that of
higher power than himself. From first willed
thought man finds his further wisdom. From
man's first wise thought must come the philosophy
that is help. From no other thought may men find
the wisdom which Will Higher purposes that life in
man shall find.
WILL THAT MADE THE UNIVERSE RULES IT
Dr. Coulter.
Will Higher must be the foundation thought for
man's philosophy. That will, the will of Him
who made the Universe, was when the Universe
was not. His will rules the Universe which He
41
42 Will Higher of God
made. Man wills by His will. Life wins wider
life than that of worlds by His will. Willed life
man is, made world-dweller while life prepares for
that wider life. Will who made the Universe rules
it while by His will it is. Men must for philosophy
hold fast this truth.
Will Higher, the will of Him who made the Uni-
verse, was when life of man was not. He wills for
life that it be man on earth. He wills that man
work the work willed for life immortal while it is
man. His will rules life immortal while it is man
and forever. Man wills by His will. Man purposes
by His will. Man is made life that wins wider,
fuller, more glorious life. Wider work comes to
life that has worked well the man's work; wider life
to the life which has lived well the man's life. While
life is it works, while life is it wills and purposes,
while life is God wills for it.
Will Higher, man's Maker, life's wilier, was be-
fore life was made. Upon that foundation thought
— life was by Higher Will made, must be builded
man's wisdom.
The worth of philosophy depends on the worth of
its foundation thought. Wise thinking must be
founded upon the thought of God, man's Maker,
Wilier of his Universe, Will Supreme of Omnipo-
tence, who purposes for that which He made while
it is. Will Higher who made life man, Will
Will that Made the Universe Rules It 43
Higher who purposes for man, Will Higher whose
purpose all life fulfills, must he thought for wise
philosophy. With that for foundation philosophy
will not go far astray.
The Will who made the whole that is beside Him-
self, the will of Omnipotent God, wills for that
which He made. His will governs the Universe;
His will made life of man; His will governs that
life. Wise purpose of the Omnipotent Ruler of
Life wills for that life while it is. Why let that
thought be forgotten. Whose purpose would rule
other than that of the Will who gave life? Man
wishes philosophy to help. The wise purpose of
the Wilier of All must be one foundation thought.
Will Higher was when the Universe was not,
when life of man was not. All that is beside Him-
self He created. His will omnipotent formed
worlds. All His Universe obeys His will. God,
Master of all, Will Supreme, wills for that which
He made forever. By His will life is. His will
rules life. That which He wills life fulfills. None
may forbid His will. What man was, is, will be,
He wills. Purpose unwavering, He purposes
while man works, while man lives, for the life which
he willed to be man. All thought which philosophy
must have.
Will Higher, man's Maker, wills for man. That
follows from the truth, for man a needed thought,
44 Will Higher of God
that man is by Will Higher made. Will Higher
whose purpose life fulfills, follows of necessity that
thought. Man, life willed, wills by the purpose of
Will Higher, for his will that Will Higher makes
his power.
Wilberforce.
Will Higher, will of Infinite God, made His Uni-
verse. Will Higher is man's Maker. Will Higher
wills for life while it is man and forever. That
thought men must hold fast. Philosophy wanders
from that thought, holding that life is self-existent,
or wills itself into being. The philosophy which
leaves out will of the Maker of All misleads.
Will who made the whole that is beside Him-
self wills for that which He made. Man He made,
for He is Creator of Life. Man fulfills by His
way His will. Man wills because Will Higher
gives him will. Man purposes because his pur-
pose Will Higher makes man's power. Philosophy
must have for foundation this thought.
Will Higher, the will who made the Universe,
made life of man. His will that -which He made
fulfills as He wills. Man, the life purposed wider
life, wins wider life by the way which Will Higher
purposes. Through will free man man, the life,
wins that which God purposes. Then will free He
who made life purposes shall win for life that which
Will that Made the Universe Rules It 45
frees life from man. Philosophy using this
thought, which we know is true, would be full of
help.
Will Higher, whose purpose life fulfills, is Life
Infinite. His wTill made life finite for worlds.
Will Higher purposes for life made by Him.
Finite life fulfills the will of Life Infinite as the
Will Higher purposes. Man who is life finite ful-
fills the purpose for which he is worker on earth.
Man, the life purposed wider life, finds wider life
by the means Will Higher provides. By will free
life finite fulfills the purpose of Life Infinite.
The life which is man is willed personal worth to
be found by its own purpose, and that life is willed
the purpose by which it wins worth. God wills that
life free itself then. His purpose life must obey.
The purpose willed for man as life fulfills God's
purpose.
Will Higher, life's Maker, purposes that life be
man on worlds. His will governs life of man on all
worlds that have man. Worlds suited to life of
man were made by God. Life willed to be man in-
habits those which God wills as man's working
place. Man wills for life immortal where life is
man. Worlds which have man, the life immortal,
will hold that life while it prepares by God's pur-
pose for life in the wide Universe. Will Higher
rules His vast Universe while He wills it to be.
46 Will Higher of God
Man, willed creature of Omnipotent God, wills for
life which He made for wider, fuller life than that
of man on worlds. Higher will of life's Maker
wills for all life which He made. Purpose of life's
Maker purposes for the life made. While life wills
He purposes for it free will. Life which for
worlds is man uses for its worth will free given
by life's Maker. Wise purpose of life's Maker
must be made foundation thought of man's philos-
ophy.
WILL OF GOD RULES LIFE
Dr. Coulter.
Will Higher, who made all that is beside Him-
self, was when the Universe was not. His will
made life. His purpose rules life made by Him.
The life which for worlds is man He wills to be life
immortal. Man who has from Will Higher his life
has from Will Higher his will. Man wills then
with willed will, the power purposed by Will
Higher to be help. Man wins worth by his own
free will, but that worth is willed for him by Will
Higher. With the powers of self He endows life
of man. By the Will Higher man is made dweller
on earth; by that Will man works. The life which
Will of God Rules Life 47
on earth works man's work is life immortal, life
willed wider work and fuller life when the earth
life is finished. Man then must fulfill the Will
who made him life of self immortal. Then man
must find worth, for Will Higher wills that he find
worth. Yes, but this man who wills now wills by
free will, the power of personal self. But the life
is willed to find worth. What follows that thought ?
This: Man of his own free will finds that which
Will Higher wills. Man is life willed immortality;
then man wills as life immortal for his worth.
Will Higher, then, wills for life of man that which
life in man finally wills for itself, using the free will
made man's power for that purpose.
Will Higher wills for the life made by Him.
His will, being the will of Him who rules the Uni-
verse, the life made by Him finally fulfills. For
that life He wills man's work; for that life He wills
teaching by man's work; for that life He wills
worth won by firm will; for that life He wills free
will; for that life He wills freedom. Bound then
by His will is the life which He made, though to
that life He gives will free. Man wills of his own
free will that which He wills who made him free.
His will life fulfills by the power He wills; His will
life fulfills as He wills. The free will of life man
uses by God's will; the free will of life made fulfills
the purpose of Will Higher.
48 Will Higher of God
Man is the willed life which must fulfill the pur-
pose of its Maker. His life is purposed wider life
than that which is man. Wider will life be when
freed, wider its work. Man wills for the man's
worth. Life of earth man has, life finite. The
Wilier of Life is the wilier for all that is the Uni-
verse. Life is ruled by Him. Man, life of per-
sonal will, has will from the Wilier of his life.
Man's will fulfills the purpose of its giver, for life
which wills of free will finds wider life. While life
is man, while it is, the Will who made it rules it.
His will extends to the whole that He made the
Universe. That will all that He made fulfills.
Wilberforce.
Man wins his worth by the purpose of Life's
Wilier. Man finds free will his help finally by the
purpose of Him who gave it. The free will made
life's power wins the worth which, by the will of
God, makes life worthy wider life. Why then need
man will for worth ? His worth he is purposed by
Will Higher. Was man made not free? Would
he win forced worth, being free life of personal self?
Will free man is willed, and by free will he is pur-
posed to find his worth. Will free of personal life
finds for man the worth which God wills life must
find on earth.
Man willed wills by willed will. His life, willed
Will of God Rules Life 49
wider life than it attains in man, wills for the wider
life purposed by its Maker, using the willed will.
Man is made free personal self. Then, willing as
free personal self, he must fulfill the Will who made
him. Man then, though free in will, is life that
must find worth, for it is worth that frees from work
and life of earth.
Purpose of Him who wills for life man fulfills
using free will made his power that life free itself
from weakness. Man who wills for life wills
finally that life find firm free will, using which life
fulfills God's purpose.
WILL FREE OF LIFE PERSONAL
Dr. Coulter.
The Will Higher, whose purpose that which He
made fulfills, is infinite life, infinite being. Man is
life finite whose being is by Life Infinite willed.
Self man is, willed to be personal life. Then by the
will of personal life man fulfills the purpose of Life
Infinite. Will Higher wills for that life which He
made finite, wills for that life while His will permits
it to be life. The purpose of Him who made life,
whose will is the will of Omnipotence, the life finite
must fulfill. But by the will which He wills to life
50 Will Higher of God
finite His purpose must be fulfilled. His will made
life personal self whose will is of necessity free.
Then the purpose of Omnipotent Will for the life
which He made life personal must be by the will
of personal life fulfilled. Worth of life He pur-
poses that self personal shall find. Worth of life
personal self finds through wise use of its own free
will. The purpose of Life Infinite is finally ful-
filled by the life which He made finite.
Will free, which man uses as life to which life's
Maker purposes worth, is the will of life immortal.
Then by the life's will man wills his worth. Man,
the life of self, wills on earth purposing there as he
chooses. Willed his life worthy by God's purpose,
man wills for that life using his free will. For
life purposed worth then, man wills of free will,
and by that free will fulfills God's purpose that life
win worth. Of its own choice life wills that which
of God's purpose life must. Will free is made
man's power by the purpose of God who made him
personal self. Life using free will fulfills the pur-
pose of its Maker not only while it is man, but for-
ever. Life of self, willed worth finally, must win
that purposed worth of its own free will. The life
on earth purposes for wider life. Willed to be man
on earth by Will Higher, made the self by Will
Higher, purposed worth by Will Higher, life of
man finds the purposed worth using the will free
Will Free of Life Personal 51
of life immortal which is purposed to be help while
life is.
Man, the being who has will, wills that which he
pleases, for his will is free. But man, being made
by Will Higher, must fulfill the will of his Maker.
God made him free, but his life must, for the will of
God is will Omnipotent. Then man must of his
free will fulfill God's purpose. What is the must?
That man fulfill his Maker's will; that life fulfill
through man His purpose ; that life personal, life of
self, fulfill the wise Purpose who made it life per-
sonal. Then life wills for itself that which fulfills
the purpose of Will Higher.
Will Higher, the will of Him who wills for all
life made, wills that while life is man it become
worthy the wider life He purposes. Man, life pur-
posed wider life, finds worth for that wider life
using his own free will. Yet God purposes for life,
and His purpose life must fulfill. Then will free
must, for God thus wills. Would that mean that
will is not free? No, will of life personal is not
bound, but free necessarily. Man, using free will,
wins for life purposed wider life the worth which
permits wider life.
Man wills for life purposed to find worth. His
will, free always, is the power of life immortal.
While man wills life wins the worth which frees life
from earth. The wise purpose of life's Maker
52 Will Higher of God
places that life in man while it finishes the work pur-
posed to teach free will. Man purposed worth
must by free will win that worth, for he is life per-
sonal. God wills that life, free to will worth or un-
worthiness, be taught by the work of man until it
learns the wise use of free will. God purposes, and
life willed must fulfill His purpose. The life in
man fulfills that purpose finally, taught by man's
work, taught by man's life until, though wholly
free, it learns that which God wills it shall.
This man must then? No, his will free he uses
as he wishes. But life in man must finally, for thus
wills life's Maker, God. Then what man wins the
purposed worth? All men have will wholly free.
The man last incarnating life which must find worth
wins it, for life has learned the wise use of free will.
Man, as life willed worth, finds it finally, for wise
purpose of man's Maker thus wills; and life made
by God fulfills His purpose through wise use of its
own free will.
What then is man? Life that must free itself
from earth by its own will. Then man is bound?
No, will free is not bound nor forced, yet Will
Higher purposes for the life which He made man,
and His purpose that life must fulfill. The will
which God wills to be free He makes the means by
which life fulfills His purpose. Self wills with free
will, and life of man, though willed worth, must
Will Free of Life Personal 53
find it of free will. Made life man is; willed will
lie uses. Then that willed will must fulfill the pur-
pose of Him who made man life immortal. When
life wills that which its Maker wills it must, the life
of self He translates to wider life. Will for that
worth which He who makes will free wills that life
shall find, man wins through his man's work and
life. Will free he uses in that work, and that worth
which life's Maker purposes life shall find on earth
is won by man's free will. We teach here that life
of man, willing freely, fulfills the will of man's
Maker. For that which the will of Omnipotence
wills man wills using his own free will. Then pur-
posed worth is found by man through his free
choice. Will free must then, for the Higher Will
life must obey. Must life find forced worth then?
Would life, willed free will, find forced worth?
Will for worth life is taught. When that which
life must find is by free will found, life fulfills the
purpose of Higher Will. Life is bound by Will
Higher. Its must is found free choice finally.
Each life of self, free in will necessarily since it is
life of self, wills finally that which life's Maker wills.
That which man wills life wills ; and while will free
is used in winning that worth which life must, life
chooses finally to will well, chooses the worth which
Higher Will purposes that life shall find.
Man, then, whose will is free, is life that must,
54 Will Higher of God
and will free willed to life by purpose of Will
Higher fulfills that purpose.
Why then may man will unworthily? Why may
life to which God wills worth will un worthiness?
Free personal self wills that which it chooses, worth
or unworthiness. But the purpose of Him who
gives free will is by that free will finally fulfilled.
Then free will which man uses for both worth and
unworthiness becomes finally free will used for
worth, because Will Higher thus purposes. Man
who wills as he chooses finally chooses to will worth
because life of man, by the will of the Maker of life,
is taught in man. Through the teaching of man's
work, through the teaching of man's life of earth,
life personal learns wise use of free will. Then
taught life finally wills the worth which Will
Higher purposes, and the purpose of Will Higher
the life of personal self fulfills by its wise use of free
will. Self is man many times. In the many lives
of man life personal, man's self, learns wisdom in
use of free will. Then, willing freely as God wills
that life personal shall will, self of man, life pur-
posed worth, finds worth of its own free choice.
There find reconciliation of man's personal free
will with the purpose of Will Higher, God.
Man works the work which God purposes for life
on earth. Man wills for that work with the will
which God makes the power of life immortal.
Will Free of Life Personal 55
When man wills then, life wills, for by the will given
to man as life purposed immortality is the work of
man willed. Why may will which God purposes
must be well used be weakly used? Personal self
wills of necessity by free will. But that free will
must then. While that follows logically, the will
free wins the worth which life must after the life is
taught wise use of free will through man's life and
work. Self wills in man using free will; must wills
for life; and the free will, after life is taught, fulfills
that must. This man must? No, life must, for
Will Higher thus purposes. But while life wills
it is taught wisdom. Wise use of free will brings
the worth which life must find. Wisdom in use of
free will life learns through the work purposed for
teaching. Wise use of free will life learns through
the mistakes which life makes. Wise use of free
will God purposes. The teaching which He wills
that life shall have in man makes life wise. Then
man, who is life personal, who wills as he chooses,
may but will for that life of self. When the life of
self is taught, man who then incarnates that life of
self wills worth. Freedom of will, but purpose of
Will Higher, philosophy must teach.
The will which frees life is the free will of life per-
sonal well and worthily used. Man is free personal
self. That free power man has by the purpose of
life's Maker. Then the free will of life personal is
56 Will Higher of God
used to fulfill the purpose of Him who wills for life
its will free. That will which He purposes must be
well and worthily used, (for He purposes that life
personal find wider life), is by life's free choice thus
used. The will free of life personal fulfills the pur-
pose for life personal of its Maker, God.
Will Higher, the will of Him who willed the Uni-
verse into being, made the life which is man for
earth. Will Higher made that life personal life.
The life of self man has, and by the will of self man
becomes worthy wider, fuller life. When the will
of personal life weakens in the work of man, when
the personal life weakens in wish for worthiness,
then man wills that life, be reincarnated, for man
himself finds the worth for wider life of self.
Using free choice, man wills his life worthy or un-
worthy. His free will he has by God's purpose.
That free will must win, for thus Will Higher pur-
poses, the freedom which by Will Higher is willed.
Man then for himself wills freedom or further work
and life of man.
Man, the free personal life, is life for which the
Will Higher purposes. What worth must the life
win by free will? The worth for higher life.
When by will its own life finds worth, the life is.
by the purpose of Will Higher, worthy higher life.
Man wills for life immortal, which is purposed
wider, fuller life beyond earth, the worth through
Will Free of Life Personal 57
which life finds that higher life. Man who wills for
man's life, willed to be the earth life of personal self,
wins by the personal will of self the wider life of
self.
When life wins freedom, what is life? Man's
life continued; with powers of life which man used
wider, and life wider in worth. Will, purpose,
mind, the powers which the life will use forever,
man uses in the work of life on earth. Then will
used for life which man has, the life of daily work on
earth, will be the power of life in its freedom from
man. What would life be not willing, not pur-
posing, not thinking when freed ? Nothing. Will,
mind, purpose make life worthy the wider life of
self. We who work now the wider work which
Will Higher makes teaching for life wider, tell for
men what men need for help in the work of man's
life. The life of personal self man is. That life
finds wider life. That life takes with it to wider
life the powers which it uses in man.
The philosophy which makes man part of the
whole of life is not well founded. Man is life per-
sonal; willed to be while life is the life personal;
willed man's life as life wider to become; and the
will of life personal fulfills the purpose of Will
Higher. This thought philosophy must have.
Will free man uses to win the worth which by the
Will Higher life must find on earth. Life of man
58 Will Higher of God
is life personal. When through life and work of
man self learns that which frees life from weakness,
life personal finds wider life. The thought that life
wider is lost in the whole of life must be wrong, for
we, the lives now freed, know that we are the same
selves which we were on earth. When life wins
wider life it is wider personal life that it wins. Life
once personal remains personal while it is.
Will free which man has then, wins for life per-
sonal its wider life personal. That thought philos-
ophy must firmly hold. Life wider is the life per-
sonal which was man. What would life be which
loses in wider life its personality? Vague concept,
which life freed knows is not fact. Will for man's
life worthy, purpose that life win freedom, would be
wasted if life freed loses its will and purpose, lost
itself in a vague whole of life. The thought of
philosophy must be founded on truth. Life per-
sonal remains life personal while it is.
Will which man has, being the will given to life
which God made personal life, wins the worth
which God purposes that life shall find on earth.
Man wills that which he chooses, that which the per-
sonal life chooses, for which personal life God pur-
poses. Man wills finally that which wins for per-
sonal life the worth which God purposes, for the
purpose of Will Higher the life made by Him must
fulfill; yet man wills as he chooses. What follows?
Will Free of Life Personal 59
This — man, being the personal life for which God
purposes, having the free will which God purposes
shall win worth for wider life, uses that will finally
as God purposes. But would that mean that man
of to-day wills always that which God purposes?
No; this man is free; this man wills always as he
chooses. But life is many men. This man wills as
he chooses, and the many men who are the one life
personal will each as he chooses. Then what from
this? The life finally must will as God purposes;
the life, being personal self, is free; then that life
which wins freedom has learned that which God pur-
poses life shall learn, wise use of its free will. That
life wills as it chooses changes not the purpose of
God who rules life while it is. Man wills, using his
free will; life wins freedom from man, using free
will; each life learns finally the wise use of its free
will; and thus each life willed to be personal life
fulfills the purpose of its Maker, God.
Man, who is willed his life by the Maker of the
Universe* has the life purposed to be wider than that
of man. When man finishes the earth work by
which the Higher Will teaches life, when life has
learned its lesson for earth willed, Will Higher
translates that life to wider, fuller life. When life
finds free will the help Will Higher purposes it shall
be finally, then life finds wider life. Wider
worth life wins in freedom from man, worth which
60 Will Higher of God
fits life personal for the presence of God Himself.
Well must life will then while it lives on earth, well
must it purpose, for by its free will, and its own pur-
pose it wins the worth for wider life. Well life
wills in man finally, for by man's worth life wins
wider life.
Man whose work is willed that life win for its help
firm will, firm purpose, wills that which he wishes,
but his worth of life is purposed by the Will Higher.
Then his free will must win the purposed worth.
His life is willed free will, his life is willed freedom,
his life is willed to win the worth for freedom by
wise use of his free will. Then the purpose of Will
Higher for the life which is man is by its will free
fulfilled. The freedom which Higher Will pur-
poses that life shall find must by free will of man be
found. The must of life man fulfills by use of his
free will. Man wills as Higher Will purposes
finally, for his life is taught wisdom by the purposed
teaching of man's life and work. Hear, man of
earth, hear and heed this word.
The Will Higher of the Maker of that which is
beside Himself was before His Universe was made.
His life is the life infinite; His will is the Will
Omnipotent which rules that which He made. The
finite life made by Him obeys His will ; all that He
made obeys Him. The life which He made is pur-
posed higher life than that of man, and will free
Will Free of Life Personal 61
which He who made life makes its power wins that
worth which by Higher Purpose life made must.
The Higher Will all that He made fulfills. None
may forbid His will. The life of man He wills to
be life personal. He wills to that life the free will
of life personal. That which He wills that life
personal shall find, wider life than that of man, that
life finds using its free will. Willed life which finds
wider life wins the purposed worth for life wider
through its own free will. Will free of life per-
sonal fulfills the purpose of the Higher Will for
that life. Personal life wins personal worth, and
the will free, which power God purposes shall be
finally used for worth, is finally thus used. Man,
the life personal, finds the worth which God pur-
poses for life on earth using his own free will.
Thus the purpose of life Omnipotent is by free
will of life finite fulfilled.
The Higher Will of man's Maker, the Higher
Will of Omnipotent God, follows life made to eter-
nity. Man, being life immortal, wills for that life.
By the purpose of Him who made man life im-
mortal the life works man's work, thinks man's
thought, lives man's little life. But that life is pur-
posed wider and fuller life beyond the littleness of
man. Work is purposed to teach that life while
it is; the work of man to teach the life while it is
man, the work of wider life to teach the wider life.
62 Will Higher of God
And that the life is personal self reveals its pos-
sibilities. Man made physical is life for earth;
wholly physical is man's body. But the life of per-
sonal self which is purposed higher, fuller life be-
yond man, is life which develops its possibilities
partly in man. God wills that each life personal
have the powers of life personal. Free in will that
life personal is made. When by the purposed
teaching of man's life that personal life is taught
wise use of its immortal powers life immortal
finds personal higher life. Will free wins that
higher life which God purposes for life personal.
The life which is man, being willed higher life,
being willed the powers fitted by Him who makes
them life's powers for the immortal use of life,
finds the higher life purposed. Man wills his
wider life himself, though God purposes his
worth. Finally the made life which for earth
is man wills that which brings the higher life which
God purposes. The life which is by its Maker pur-
posed wider personal life wins by its personal wise
use of will free the worth which brings wider life.
Personal life man is made, personal life immortal.
We who work for help to men's thought would
have men believe that we tell that which we know
is true. Man is the life for which Will Higher pur-
poses, though he is life of free will. Then the life
which is man for its earth life wins by the purpose of
Will Free of Life Personal 63
its Maker the wider life of freedom. We have won
that life; we tell that which life wider knows. That
which the higher purpose of God wills for life life
fulfills. The life finds by His purpose the wider
life of self. The winning of that life depends on
man's will free. When man wills that which the
will of God purposes that life in man shall will,
He gives to that life freedom, wider life, fuller life.
When life has for itself won its wider life His will
still follows it. Life freed fulfills His purpose to
eternity.
Man who wills worth or unworthiness as he
wishes, whose free will is power willed to him, wins
wTider life using that free will, yet life made is by the
Higher Will ruled. What must has man to fulfill?
What must has life to fulfill ? That man win worth
which frees life from man is man's must. But life
willed man is, and the free will which he uses is
willed power. Man must of free will find the worth
that frees life from man. Then life which man is,
life of self whose will is free, must win of free will
the worth which Higher Will purposes it shall win
in man. The power which man has, being willed
power, willed by Him who made man life, must then
win for man the worth which brings higher life of
self. That life wills of free will changes not the
purpose of life's Maker. That purpose, which is
that each life find higher life freed from man, is by
64 Will Higher of God
man's free will fulfilled. Man wills his own worth,
but that worth is won by the purpose of God who
made him life of free will.
Will Higher, whose purpose life which He made
fulfills, was when life which is man was not. His
will rules the life that He made, though He gives it
will free. Man who has for his power the power of
life immortal, will free, wins by that will free the
worth that wins for life immortal its wider life.
From man freed, life lives fuller life. Wider its
vision, wider its thought, wider its worth. Will for
life worthy life finds first in man, for the life on
earth begins the life immortal. Well then must
man will, well must he purpose, for by his will and
purpose the life immortal finds its wider life.
The Will Higher, whose purpose that which He
made fulfills, was when the Universe was not. His
will created the Universe ; His will governs all that
He made. His will is the will of Omnipotence.
That which He wills the Universe obeys. Man is
by His will. Life is by His will. God who made
the Universe wills for it while He wills it to be.
Man who works the work purposed for life of will
free, man who wills for that work as he wishes, is
willed life to which Higher Will wills wider life
than that of man. By will his own man wills for
the earth work of immortal life, which work, pur-
posed for life willed immortality, man must finish.
Will Free of Life Personal 65
Life worthy man finds finally, for thus Will Higher
wills. By the work of man life finds worth because
that work well finished teaches firm free will. The
worth which by firm will life finds frees that life
from man, and by the will for worth won by life
in man life wider finds its wider worth. All that
which He who willed life to be personal self pur-
poses that life finally fulfills. Man who is life for
which wider life is purposed finds free will the help
which God wills it must be finally. Then man wins
the wider life, though he wins it of his free will, be-
cause for his life the Will Higher purposes wider
life. Man wins the freedom willed by the way
which Will Higher purposes, the free will of per-
sonal self.
The will of Him who wills for all follows life
while it is. Man wills for wider life because life is
made for wider life. Will free wins the worth for
wider life because God thus wills. Man the life
personal wins wider personal life because the will of
God made life for wider personal life. Man who
wills his personal worth frees from man the life per-
sonal by God's will. All that He made fulfills His
will.
Free will that man has wins the freedom which by
God's purpose life of self must find. Will Higher
of God, the Maker of all, willed life into being,
willed that life be man for earth, willed that by
66 Will Higher of God
man's life the personal life of self win the wider life
which He purposes. Will Higher wills for the life
which He made while that life is man and forever.
His purpose follows that life which He made per-
sonal life, to which He wills the powers of personal
life, while it works man's work, while it is. Then
man works because He wills, wills because He gives
him that power, purposes because God wills to him
purpose. All that He made fulfills His purpose.
Man the life personal is life for which He purposes.
The free will of life personal fulfills the higher pur-
pose of Him who wills for life while it is.
We who live the wider life of freedom from man,
who know that life freed was man by remembrance
of man's life, tell that life with free will works in
this higher life. Will free wins the worth of higher
life as it wins the worth of man's life. We think
knowing that the thinking is by the life which re-
members its man's life. We purpose knowing that
the purpose is of the same life that was man. We
purpose, thinking for wider life, as the life pur-
posed when it was man. Thus life of personal self,
knowing its powers to be the same powers it had in
man, wills for the higher life in freedom from man.
What tells us this? Life itself knows itself. Yes,
life of self knows it wills, thinks, purposes, remem-
bers for itself always. But that life, while it is
personal, lives the life which Higher Will purposes ;
Will Free of Life Personal 67
in man the life of man, in higher life the higher life
of freedom from man. That life is life of self
makes plain that it purposes freely that which per-
sonal life wishes. But that changes not the higher
purpose which follows life while it is. Man, being
life personal, purposes, wills, uses life as he wishes ;
then life thus wills and purposes. But the purpose
of the Wilier of Life must be by the life made ful-
filled. Then life which wills and purposes freely
wills finally that which the Higher Purpose wills,
and life personal free in will, free in purpose, finally
by the free powers of personal self fulfills the pur-
pose of Him who made it.
The purpose of Will Higher that life find worth
for higher, fuller life beyond man must be by the
free will of life fulfilled. Man who purposes for
himself, whose power will is made free, wins by his
wise use of that willed power his worth. Will free
then man has because for him Will Higher purposes
worth won by himself. That free power, which is
for man his help when firmly used, wins then the
purposed worth of life. Will free that must finally
life has. That power which life uses for worth or
unworthiness as it wishes finally wins the freedom
which Will Higher purposes that life of man shall
find. The purpose of that Higher Will who wills
to life finite free will must by that free power be
fulfilled. Finally life free in purpose, free in will,
68 Will Higher of God
wills that which the will of life's Maker purposes,
the worth for higher, fuller life. Man's free power,
the will made his by his Maker, wins the higher life
which that Maker purposes for life immortal.
Will Higher, will of God who is the Maker of
All, wills for all which He made. His will is the
Will Supreme. His will is the Will Omnipotent.
His will reaches to the whole of His vast Universe.
Man was made for worlds; life was made for the
Universe. Man works on worlds ; life works finally
in the vast Universe. Man wills of free will on all
worlds ; will given he uses ; his free wTill is the gift of
the Wilier of his life. Personal self always, by his
free will of personal self man wins his worth for
freedom from worlds. Ruled by Will Supreme,
life fulfills the purpose of that will. Man, creature
of Omnipotent Will, is made life that is purposed
worth which far exceeds man's thought. Life
freed wins worth by free will while it is. Man wills
as life purposed worth for God's presence finally.
May free will win that worth? We know it must.
Think, who would found wise philosophy. We
who tell this know.
The life of personal will, having that free power
from its Maker, finds by wise use of that power its
worth. But free will may be wisely or foolishly
used. When that power is wisely used life wins
freedom; when weakly or wickedly used life wins
Will Free of Life Personal 69
further life of man. What will then will this man
who now lives choose, the wise or the wicked will?
Choose for yourself, man who has free will.
Bishop Wilberforce.
Will Higher, whose purpose life willed hy Him
must fulfill, is the will of Him Who made the Uni-
verse. His will rules that Universe. His will
rules life which hy His purpose works in man.
What for life wills He? That life he man; that life
win wider work and fuller life when it has finished
the earth work and life. What further wills he?
That life be free personal self; that the powers
willed to life be free ; that will free win for life pur-
posed wider life the worth for wider life. Wise
purpose of Will Higher made life self personal.
By His will that life uses personal will. Of neces-
sity will of personal self is free. That life may will
that which life's Wilier does not purpose is then
plain. Will Higher then purposes that life of per-
sonal self fulfill His will through use of free will.
Man of will free wins for life purposed wider life
the worth that brings wider life. Man's free will
fulfills for life the purpose of life's Wilier. Man
of free will wins for life the worth which Will
Higher purposes that life immortal shall find on
earth; and forever that free life, purposed forever
wider and wider worth, finds its worth by free will.
70 Will Higher of God
Free will of personal life, will that man uses as life
purposed wider life, fulfills the wise purpose of
Him who made life man. Will free, willed power
of life personal made man for life of earth, is the
way through which Will Higher wills that life ful-
fill His purpose.
Thought for philosophy must upon truth be
founded. This we know is true.
Will Higher wills for life of man ; Will Higher
wills for life while it is. Man has, by the purpose
of Will Higher, the wide powers which life needs
while it works and lives. Man wills that he win
freedom for his life by the will purposed to help life
forever. Man by free will wins for life freedom
which God purposes. Man works as life the man's
work. God wills for man that his work and his life
of earth finally teach life the firm will, the firm pur-
pose that by His purpose make life worthy its
higher life and work. Will free man has from
Will Higher. Will free, by the purpose of God
who wills for life forever, makes man's life worthy
the freedom purposed, and by will free of personal
man life willed freedom finds its worth. These
thoughts philosophy must have to be true help.
Will free of life wins man's worth, for thus He
purposes who made life for earth man. While life
wills it uses the will it uses in man. The free
power of life made personal self is man's power.
Will Free of Life Personal 71
While life wills it uses personal free will. God
wills that life made personal self find by the wise use
of its own free will the worth which makes life per-
sonal worthy wider life. Willed power, free will,
fulfills the purpose of life's Maker; willed power,
free will, wins for life purposed wider, fuller life
the worth which wins further worth. Man finds
first worth for life immortal. Through wise use of
personal free will life finds further worth to im-
mortality.
Will Higher, whose purpose life made must ful-
fill, wills that while life is man the wise use of will
free make it worthy wider life. Then man wills
that which his Maker purposes using the will he
has, must thus will, for God purposes he shall.
But will of life personal is necessarily free. Then
free will must, and life fulfills God's purpose itself;
that follows of course. Man wins worth by free
will. His will is given by God for that purpose.
It is made free that life personal find personal
worth. Man, being life willed worth, being life
personal, must by personal free will find worth.
Will Higher, man's Maker, Will Higher who
rules life forever, wills for life man's life that man
find for life the firm will and purpose which life
must thus find to win freedom. Why then may life
in man will weakly, permitted thus to will? For
God's purpose will of life personal, will that man
72 Will Higher of God
uses for life personal, is free. Will Higher pur-
poses for life freedom won by its own will free, and
will free must win worth finally, for that which Will
Higher purposes life made must obey. Why then
has man not will bound? His life made personal
self wills by free will always its worth. The must
which life fulfills is that life win freedom of personal
will. Man wills his worth as life personal, and his
will free wins finally the worth God purposes that
life shall find on earth. Man wills that which frees
life immortal using his free power, will of personal
self. We tell truth. You who read must think.
Will Higher wills that life for worlds be man.
Will Higher wills that while life is man it prepare
for the fuller life which He wills for life immortal.
When He frees life it has won the worth He pur-
poses that life on earth must win. Will Higher
wills for life wider work. Won by life in man must
be the wise free will by which life works we]l in wider
life.
The will which man has belongs to life personal.
That life of personal self works man's work, wills
man's life worthy. For wider life of self that life
of man is made. Then the worth which man finds
by his will is personal worth which life personal
takes to wider life. When life wins freedom the
personal life has won freedom. The wider life is
wider life of self; and while life is it remains life of
Will Free of Life Personal 73
self.
Philosophy which would merge the personal life
in the whole of life is wrong. Man finds personal
worth for life which remains life personal while it
is.
Will Higher, man's Maker, is Life Infinite.
His will is the will omnipotent, the Will Supreme.
His will reaches all, rules all that is. Then life
made by Him must fulfill His will. But He makes
life personal life whose will He makes free. Then
life personal must of free will fulfill His will. But
life free in will wills that which it chooses, of course.
Then how reconcile the free will of life with the
Higher Will of God?
Will Higher wills for life work. The first work
it has is man's work. That first work God pur-
poses as teaching for the life which must. By
work taught life learns wise use of free will. Will
of life personal is free necessarily. Then the life
wills for itself the worth that brings freedom. Will
Higher purposes for that life to which He gives free
will that it be taught wise use of free will, and,
taught by the work Will Higher gives life on earth,
man as life finds free will the help that Will Higher
purposes it shall be. Free personal life man is
made. Using the free will of life personal, which
will is taught as the Will Higher wills it shall be,
man the life free in will, wins by that free will the
74 Will Higher of God
worth which by the purpose of God life must.
Thus free will of man is reconciled with the purpose
for life of Omnipotent God.
The higher purpose of Him who wills for that
which He made must be foundation thought in phi-
losophy. That purpose, the purpose of the life's
Maker, purposes for life while it is. Man is the life
which by that higher purpose wins wider life; man
is the life which by the higher purpose wins freedom
from earth. All that Purpose Higher wills that
which He made fulfills. Man who wills his own
worth is by the purpose of God life which must find
higher life; and, free though life is in man, free
though it be while it is, that life fulfills by the will
free made its power for purpose of Omnipotent
God that higher purpose. What life is man knows
not. Only He who made it fully understands life.
But life is willed by Him to find higher life, and is
willed to be personal self whose will is free. Then
that life of self, free though it be, fulfills the pur-
pose of Him who made it using the will free which
He makes that life's power. Man free in will, life
free in will, fulfill by that free will the Purpose who
made life personal self.
Will Higher, man's Maker, the will of the Maker
of all that is beside Himself, purposes for all that
He made. Will free of life personal He wills that
man have, yet for the life which is man He pur-
Will Free of Life Personal 75
poses. The will which He makes free has His will
for its must, then. That which Will Higher pur-
poses all that He made fulfills. The must for life
personal is that by its free will it fulfill the Purpose
who gives free will. Man frees himself from work
of man, then, using free will made his that life per-
sonal win wider life of its free choice. Man is that
life which wins freedom. Man wins that freedom
which Will Higher wills for life personal by his own
wise use of free will. When life personal finds its
will free the help which Will Higher purposes it
shall be finally, the life personal wins the freedom
which by Will Higher is for life immortal pur-
posed.
The wise thought which philosophy needs is
here: — Purpose of the Wilier of the whole which
men name the Universe. Wise thought for philos-
ophy needs as foundation AVill Higher who pur-
poses for life.
The will of life finite, free though it be, wins that
which Life Infinite purposes that life made shall
win, wider life beyond earth. Man whose will he
uses for worth or weakness, man who uses the life
of earth well or ill as he wishes, is life for which
Purpose Higher wills. God wills for that life to
which He wills free will. Man, the willed life,
finally fulfills His purpose. Then free will made
life's power fulfills the purpose of God. With free
76 Will Higher of God
will man works. That work which is by God's pur-
pose teaching for free will finally teaches wise use
of free will. The purpose of Him who made man
personal life is by the personal free will fulfilled.
Will Higher wills for life which He made while
it is, yet He wills that the will of life be free.
When life which wills of free will wins that which
free will must, He who made life translates that life
to wider, fuller life. The will free which He makes
the power of life personal fulfills His purpose for
life personal. Man who is willed life, whose per-
sonal power will is wholly free, fulfills by that free
will God's purpose that life find worth for wider
life. The will which man uses, being the free will
of personal life, wins by the free choice of personal
self the freedom which Will Higher wills that per-
sonal self shall find.
Will Higher, Will who made the whole that is be-
side Himself, Will who purposes for that which He
made, Life Infinite, Wilier of life finite, wills for
that which He made forever. That which He wills
all fulfills. None may dispute His will. Omnipo-
tent Creator, Omniscient Life, Will Supreme, He
rules that which He created while it is. His will
governs all. His will reaches the farthest world
of the vast Universe. The thought of philosophy
must hold fast this thought. Man who has from
the Will Higher his life wills that which He pur-
Will Free of Life Personal 77
poses ; man who wills freely wills for that which He
purposes. His will reaches all that He made.
The higher will of God Omnipotent wills for life
which He made ; but the life to which He gives free
will fulfills His will using its own free power. Re-
member this, man of earth.
Man whose worth frees life from man wins that
worth himself. That Will whose purpose life ful-
fills, the will of Him who made life, the man who
incarnates life finally fulfills, for he is that life for
which Will Higher purposes. Free to choose
worth or unworthiness, free in will, free in purpose,
man is yet the life for which worth is purposed by
Higher Will. Then his free will finds for that life
the worth which that life must.
When man's free will has won the worth which by
God's purpose life must find on earth, His pur-
pose follows that life to wider life. Man himself
wills the worth that brings wider life. Will free
he uses for that worth. Then his free power, made
his by the Wilier of Life, fulfills the purpose for
which man is made life personal. Will Higher
purposes; life made fulfills His purpose. All that
Will Higher made fulfills His purpose. What
man was, is, will be, He purposes. Man by his
willed power, free will, fulfills the purpose for his
life of Higher Will.
78 Will Higher of God
Miltiades.
Will Higher wills that life be man ; He wills that
man use free will; He wills that life find worth by
will wholly free. Worth won must by free will be
won. God's will rules life. By His purpose life
wins wider life ; by His purpose life finds worth for
wider life; won is that worth by life's free will.
The life purposed freedom finds it as the Will
Higher wills. Man's will free accords with the
wise purpose of Will Higher who made him life
personal. Will free of life personal wins for life
personal to immortality its worth.
Will Higher, will who made the Universe, whose
purpose that which He made must fulfill, must for
man's philosophy be foundation thought. Man,
the willed life who wills, wills by purpose of Will
Higher. Why then may life of man will that
which Will Higher purposes not? Will Higher
made man life personal whose will is free Why
may life of man, which by purpose of Will Higher
finally must be worthy, be weak in man? Will
Higher made life's will free. Why may life that
wins finally by the purpose of Will Higher freedom
from man, find of will free unworthiness that holds
it to man? Will Higher made life's will free.
Why may will free win both worth and weakness?
By the purpose of Will Higher life learns what
helps, using will free. Man wills that which he
Will Free of Life Personal 79
wishes; but, thus willing, being life that must find
worth, man finally finds it. Will Higher purposes;
that which He made fulfills by His way His pur-
pose.
Will Higher, life's Maker, wills for life while it
is. Man is life for earth willed. Work of man life
has for its earth work. That will which life uses in
man's work it uses for wider life's work. God wills
for life while life works, though for life He wills
free will. Purpose who made life free personal self
wills for the personal self while that self wins by
free will the worth He purposes self shall find.
Will free which must life has. By the free will
of personal self man wins finally the worth which
life must find by the purpose of Higher Will.
Then must wills for life of man. Yes, the life free
in will is bound by the purpose of Higher Will.
Its must is that by will its own it find the worth
which by the Purpose who made man life personal
wins wider life. For life worthy man must will
then to fulfill the purpose of God.
Will free man uses to finish the work purposed
for life on earth. Will free man uses to find for life
immortal freedom. Won by the will free of man
must be the life wider of personal self.
Will Higher wills for life made freedom from
man and higher life. But by the power which Will
Higher wills to man, the free will of life personal,
80 Will Higher of God
life willed worth finds that worth. Purposed
higher life than that of man, willed free will, life
personal finds that higher life through wise use of
willed free will. Man must, for he is life personal,
will of free will. But Will Higher purposes for
life personal. That which Higher Will purposes
life made fulfills by wise use of personal free will.
Man wills that which life must finally, taught by the
life purposed to teach wise use of free will. Man
wins wider life of personal self through his wise
use of life's free will, and the purpose of Higher
Will is fulfilled through the power that Higher
Will gives to life personal. Willed power, free
will, fulfills the purpose of man's Maker.
What from this must be the following thought?
Will free must, though it be free, fulfill God's pur-
pose for life immortal.
The life which man has, life of free will, fulfills
the purpose of Him who made him free in will.
That which the Higher Will purposes life free in
will fulfills then. But man wills that which he
chooses. Would that mean that he wills always as
his Maker purposes? No, free life wills always for
itself. Yet it is by Higher Purpose bound. Will
free man uses in the work of his life, and free will he
uses to find his worth. But life is taught by God
finally the wise use of free will that He purposes.
Man who wills using his own free will finally wills
Will Free of Life Personal 81
as God purposes. Life is many men. What man
wills as God purposes? The man who last incar-
nates immortal life ; his free will is help. Man who
lives the earth life is immortal life purposed higher
life. His free will wins for life immortal, for he is
that immortal life, the worth that by the purpose
of God life must win in man. God's purpose for
life free in will that free will fulfills. Finally life
in man wills worth, finally life wins through wise
use of its own free will the higher life which God
Omnipotent purposes.
The Higher Purpose who wills for that which He
made is the purpose of Omnipotent God. His pur-
pose for the life made that life fulfills. Made life
which is purposed free will, made life which is pur-
posed wider life than that of man, wins that which
brings wider life by its own free will. But for that
made life the Higher Purpose wills that it be life
personal to which He wills worth won by its own
free will. Will free wins that purposed wider life ;
will free wins the worth of life whether it be man or
wider, fuller life; will free fulfills. to eternity the
Purpose who made life personal self.
The will free of man must win the worth which
by God's purpose frees life from earth. Man wills
that which God wills finally, then. His wise use of
free will man learns through the work made by God
teaching for life. Willed freedom, life finds it by
82 Will Higher of God
the free will God makes life's power. That life win
freedom by its free choice Will Higher purposes,
and life made, though for the time it may will
weakly, finally fulfills His will. Free will, not
bound, wins that which life's Maker wills. Man,
though man, is more than man. His free will,
though his, is life's power. And there, in worth pur-
posed for immortal life; in teaching by the earth
work and life of man, that teaches finally because
God thus wills ; and in reincarnation until life pur-
posed wise use of free will learns that wise use; is
reconciliation of the free personal will of man and
the purpose of Will Higher. Man finds finally the
the worth God purposes that life willed freedom
from earth shall find on earth. B}r free will man
wins that worth. By free will man fulfills God's
purpose.
Will Higher, whose purpose that which He made
must fulfill, wills for life while it is. Life willed
worth finds worth; life willed worth by tree will
won finds worth through free will ; man by the free
will God makes his power fulfills God's purpose for
him; willed work, life wins freedom by will taught
through the willed work; willed freedom, life finds
that freedom as Will Higher purposes. Will
Higher wills and life fulfills by His way His pur-
pose.
Will Higher was infinite life when His Uni-
Will Free of Life Personal 83
verse was not. He made the life which is man.
His will follows that life while it is. Wide life will
be in freedom from earth, but the man finds the
worth for that wider life. Free in will, man finds
his worth himself. The freedom which life finds is
by the Maker of that life willed. The wider life
which for life personal God wills brings to life
wider worth. His way life follows while it is.
Personal life man was made; personal life finds
wider life; personal life wins personal worth for
wider life while it is. Worth of life man finds by
the purpose of life's Maker, but it is free personal
life that wills in man. The purpose of Will Higher
follows life while it works man's work, teaching that
life wise use of its free will. The purpose of Will
Higher follows that life while it works the wider
work of life freed. While life is the purpose of
Will Higher follows it. Man wins purposed worth
for purposed wider life, using free will made his
by Him who wills for life forever.
Will free man uses in the work which He who
made life man makes the work of that life for earth.
Man who wills of free will works work purposed,
then. When that will is well used, life wins worth
for wider work of freed life. When that will is ill
used life wins further work of man. Then free will
which life may use well or ill becomes the will which
helps if well used, or the will which harms if ill used.
84 Will Higher of God
But Will Higher purposes that free will be well
used finally. Then wise use of free will God pur-
poses, and unwise use is the free choice of the life
which He made personal self. But will of personal
life must finally be wisely used, for thus Will
Higher purposes. Finally the life which is free
in will learns wise use of free will, and will free
becomes the help which it is purposed to be. Then
the personal life which wills that which it chooses,
worth or unworthiness, finally wills worth, and will
free fulfills the purpose of God.
The worth which Higher Will purposes that life
shall win on earth man must win himself. Though
his free purpose makes his life worthy, he is life for
which God purposes. Man free in will, free in pur-
pose, finally wins by his free will and purpose the
freedom which Higher Will purposes for his life
immortal.
The free power of life personal wins for that life
its worth. In man that power wins worth for life
higher ; when life is freed that power wins its worth ;
while life is that free power wins its worth. Help
that power is by life's Maker purposed to be.
Help it is, though free by God's purpose, while life
is.
Will Higher, whose purpose life willed being by
Him fulfills, is the Will Supreme. The life which
He willed into being must obey His will. The life
Will Free of Life Personal 85
willed man is. His will, made his power by the
Will Higher, is free. What follows this truth?
The life willed, being willed free will, by free will
fulfills the purpose of Higher Will. The will
which man uses for his worth is will made his by the
Will Higher. That free will fulfills the purpose of
Him who wills man to be personal life.
WILL FREE FULFILLS THE PURPOSE OF WILL
HIGHER
Dr. Coulter.
Will Higher makes life's will free, but purposes
for life while it is. Life wills then forced to worth ?
No, life's will is free, and will free finally well used
fulfills the purpose for which it is made life's power.
The will free is will of life personal, and is neces-
sarily free if life is personal self. The will bound
would be will of life not free personal self. Man
wills as he wishes, permitted thus to will, and life
fulfills the purpose of Will Higher by the will that
Will Higher gives for the purpose that life will
worth itself. Man wills as life bound by Will
Higher, and life purposed worth finds it willing for
it of its own free will. Will free must win the
worth life's Maker purposes, the worth which frees
86 Will Higher of God
life personal from earth. Will is taught by the
work God wills to be teaching, and will free wisely
used frees life that is purposed freedom. Then
man, being personal self, wills for himself the worth
which life by the purpose of Will Higher must find.
Will free, made life's power by God's purpose, ful-
fills that purpose.
Will Higher rules the Universe. Then Will
Higher rules life which is part of the Universe.
Man who wills wills because Will Higher made him
with will. Man wills with the will made his as life.
Will free is made man's power by the Will who
wills for all. Man wills that which Will Higher
purposes using the will made his by Will Higher.
Man wills that which Will Higher purposes that
life must will, using the free will of life made per-
sonal. For the worth purposed man wills, using
the free will given for wise purpose of life's Maker.
That which man wills life wills. For wise pur-
pose will is free. Life willed personal worth man
is. But life made, though it be free in will, ful-
fills finally the will of God. Will is free, but Will
Higher purposes for the life which has will free.
Man wills by willed free will. By that power He
wins his worth. Purpose of Will Higher must be
fulfilled by the will free. By will free life in man,
life while it is, fulfills the purpose of the Wilier of
life and will.
The Purpose of Will Higher 87
All thought which must he for philosophy foun-
dation thought. Life is made, will is willed power,
self uses willed power, free will, hy the Will who
made life free personal self; will free, then, fulfills
the purpose of Him who made it life's power.
That which fulfills the purpose of Will Higher is
free will. Will Higher rules life that He made
while it is. Life wins worth hy the will of Will
Higher. Life wins freedom from earth hy the
Will who made life worthy wider, fuller life than
that of man. Will Higher wills, all that which He
made fulfills His will.
Man who wills with willed power, free will, wills
finally that which the Wilier of his life and will
purposes. His will, being the power of life made
personal, is necessarily free. Yet by that will His
Maker wills that he, as life, find the worth that
Maker wills life shall find, worth which frees that
life from earth. Man wills as he chooses; yet life
is bound by the purpose of its Maker.
Will Higher, man's Maker, wills while life is
man for that life. Will with which man wills,
made free for his worth or unworthiness, he uses
finally for worth, taught by the way Will Higher
wills that life be taught on earth.
Will free for man, for life immortal free, ful-
fills the purpose of Him who wills it to be free.
Willed will, though free, fulfills the purpose of
88 Will Higher of God
Will Higher. Will free of life personal, will of
life immortal made personal, wins for that life its
worth for the higher, fuller life purposed by Will
Higher. When self wills as He wills who made
it life, when self finds the worth He purposes for
life which He made, the life finds that higher, fuller
life. Won by man's free will must be the worth
that brings freedom from earth and higher, fuller
life.
Will Higher, whose purpose life must fulfill,
made life free in will, but life was made for higher
life than that of man. Then by will free life must
reach the worth for higher life. The must which
He wills who made life free in will is that by free
will life fulfill His purpose. The worth purposed
for life free in will must by free will be attained.
Man wills that life be worthy, using free will given.
Then will free given to man fulfills the purpose for
which it is given. Will free made man's power
wins for life purposed higher life the worth which
brings that higher life. Will free fulfills the pur-
pose of Will Higher.
Will Higher was before His Universe was made.
He, life infinite, wills for all that He made. Man,
the life finite, fulfills by will free His purpose for
life on earth. Will Higher, man's Maker, life's
Wilier, must found the philosophy of men.
The Purpose of Will Higher 89
Wilberforce.
The will free which life's Maker wills must win
for life its worth, He makes the power of life per-
sonal. Man, being self, wills that which he
chooses. Worth found by man must by his free
will be found, for God made him personal self.
Then by will free of life personal, will willed to be
free, life immortal finds its first worth. Man is
life immortal. Will free wins for that life the
worth which by the purpose of life's Maker life
immortal must find. The will free willed to life
personal fulfills the will of life's Maker. Will
Higher, man's Maker, life's wilier, purposes for
life while it is. Man has from Him the will free
which he uses. Made life free in will, he is made
life nevertheless. Willed free will, his will is given
will nevertheless. Then by the will free given
man, the life willed, must fulfill' the purpose of
Will Higher. Man who lives the earth life will-
ing both worth and unworthiness wills both of free
will. Yet life willed higher life by its Maker must
find that higher life. Will free life personal uses,
willed that will by Him who made life personal
self. That life will finally well He who gives free
will purposes ; yet worth forced life personal would
not find. Man who lives weakly, using free will
unworthily, makes life weak, unworthy the pur-
posed higher life. But finally life learns as Will
90 Will Higher of God
Higher purposes the wise use of free will, and life
of man, the self which lives earth life by the wise
purpose of God, wins through free will its free-
dom. Wise purpose of man's Maker makes life
free personal self. His purpose life fulfills by
wise use of free will. The will of Him who makes
life free personal self that life must by free will
fulfill. Bound by Will Higher is life, though will
be free. Man using his own free will fulfills God's
purpose for his life. Will who wills for life made
wills that life's will be free will. Willed free will
life uses then that, being life of personal self, it
will for itself the worth which He purposes. INI an
wills that life win freedom by the will free willed
to personal life. Willed freedom, willed free will,
life must by free will find the worth for freedom.
Will Higher wills that will free be the means
through which life, free to choose, makes itself
worthy the freedom He purposes. Worth willed
life must win of free will. Thus man's personal
free will fulfills God's will.
Will Higher, whose purpose that which He
made fulfills, is the Will who made the Universe.
His purpose life made by him fulfills through the
means He gives. Will Higher wills, and life must
fulfill His purpose. The wise purpose of man's
Maker must for philosophy be thought.

LIFE PERSONAL
Dr. Coulter.
The thought which makes life the part, while but
a part as man, of Infinity, will not satisfy. Life is
ego while it is man, ego while it is freed life, ego
to eternity. Not from eternity life, but to eternity
life personal; made life, willed the powers which
help life forever; made life with mind, will, pur-
pose that the life of self will keep forever; willed
those powers as personal self; willed those powers
as life personal forever. Then memory becomes
personal power, and life beyond earth knows itself
to be the same self that it was in man. Would that
mean absorption in the Infinite? Would life
made finite be infinite in wider life? Would
that which is once finite become wider than
finite? We who know ourselves here would tell
this — life will forever know itself. When man
wills he knows that he is self. Life wills for itself
while it is. Man who wills is life that wills, then,
and what life becomes in the beyond life finds when
freed from worlds. Power of Infinity made life;
will of Infinity made life. Man is finite; his life
will forever be finite; once finite forever finite of
92 Will Higher of God
necessity. Man learns wisdom as self; life wider
finds wider wisdom as self. Growing while the
man holds it, life personal wins life wider beyond
worlds; then still wider life it wins to immortality.
Willed those powers of personal life which life
uses forever, life wins through their wise use the
worth which its Maker purposes life shall find,
worth for His presence while life lasts.
PURPOSE OF FREE PERSONAL LIFE
Dr. Coulter.
Purpose of Him who willed life into being fol-
lows life while it is. Self man is, purposed wider,
fuller life. Life's free purpose wins the worth for
that fuller life. Firm will that life wins through
life of man it takes to the wider work of life freed
from man. Worth which life wins by the help of
firm will life takes to the fuller life. Life which
is worthy in man holds that worth in fuller life.
The firm purpose won by man frees life for which
freedom is purposed by God.
Will that man has, being willed power, finds for
the life willed personal being the personal worth.
Life wills as it wishes, made personal self whose
will is necessarily free. Man wills for worth or

wickedness. That which man wills life wills then.
Will for life worthy life finds using personal free
purpose. That which man purposes life purposes
then, and life free in purpose fulfills the purpose
of Him who made life free because to that life is
willed worth purposed by itself. Will that life
uses well, purposing worth, is the will that frees
life from man. That which man finds of his free
will is purposed by his Maker then, but that which
the Maker of life purposes that life shall find is
worth. Worth frees life for which freedom is pur-
posed; weakness, wickedness, unworthiness are but
perverted misuse of free purpose. Man then,
whose free purpose frees life, fulfills the purpose
of his Maker. Weak life fulfills not that purpose ;
weak life purposes that which Will Higher per-
mits to the man willed to be free personal self; but
finally that free life which is by God purposed
freedom finds the worth for freedom using the
purpose which God makes free.
We, the lives freed, who work to help the
thought of men, tell that life for worlds purposed
is life for which higher life is purposed. Man then
wills as life purposed worth for that higher life.
Man wins for life the purposed higher life, willing
his life of man worthy. The higher life that finds
higher worth uses the purpose made by life of man
firm. When that firm purpose man has found, life
94 Will Higher of God
wins the higher life.
The purpose which man has was willed to be his
help while the life wills for life wider. That power
willed for life of man is power of life immortal.
We, the lives who have won the life freed from
earth, will for life far wider. Self that has life
immortal has the powers that help life immortal.
Mind, will, purpose, memory, those powers that
Will Higher makes life's powers, man uses for his
life of earth. The purpose of life then helps man,
for that power is by God given to life that it be
help. Self wins the wider life purposing well for
man's life; when life purposes weakly or wickedly
self finds further life of man. That power, free
as will is free, makes man worthy wider life of
freedom ; but when man purposes but for earth, his
life works still on earth. Think, man of weak pur-
pose.
Will for life worthy man finds through purpose
firm to win the wider life. Will firm that life
learns through work becomes firm for life worthy
if man purposes for the higher life. Then his pur-
pose helps his will; then his firm will becomes the
help God purposes it shall be. When man finds
the firm purpose for the life higher, when his choice
is that life find worth, that purpose firm wins the
freedom which by God's purpose life must. Heed
the word, man of weak purpose.
Purpose of Free Personal Life 95
Will Higher wills for the life of man that will
free win the freedom which He purposes that life
shall find. That life who purposes using free
choice is life that wills finally as its Maker pur-
poses. When man wills life wills. The purpose
which man makes firm life takes to higher life, but
that firm purpose Will Higher purposes that life
shall find in man. Free to will that which it
chooses, life made nevertheless wills finally that
which Higher Will purposes. That purpose which
frees life from man man himself finds finally. Is
the man who lives now forced to purpose as life's
Maker purposes ? No. Self personal life is made.
The free purpose of personal self finally is taught
wisdom by the life of man, and that which life's
Maker purposes for life of self the free purpose of
the self fulfills. Well life purposes that wins free-
dom. Life personal, made free, fulfills the higher
purpose for that life using the purpose made its
free power.
Will which man has is the power of life personal.
That which man wills then life wills, for man is the
personal life. But man lives the world life as life
that wins finally wider life by wise use of the per-
sonal power, free will. Will free of life personal
frees life then. That power which life uses in man
frees the life from man. Well must life will then
to win freedom, for worth brings freedom. Man is
96 Will Higher of God
life purposed worth, but that worth life finds
through free will its own. Purpose man has, the
purpose which helps free will. That power willed
for life personal to be help helps life when firmly
and wisely used to win the worth that frees. Then,
man who wills and purposes to-day, why wait to
find firm purpose?
Wilberforce.
The purpose free of life personal wins for that
life its worth, for thus the will of life's Maker pur-
poses. For life which purposes as it chooses God
purposes then. What worth wins freedom?
Worth purposed firmly. For that purpose work
now, man of earth.
The will of Him who purposes for life forever
wills that life for earth be man. His purpose wills
that life be personal life whose purpose necessarily
is free. Life wills, purposes, works that which it
chooses, being personal life; yet man who wills is
life for which God purposes worth. Using the
purpose God gives man lives the world life which
life immortal is willed. That life immortal, though
free, is purposed wider, fuller life. While man
purposes then, his Maker purposes for his life;
while life purposes as it chooses, life which is pur-
posed worth must find worth. Thus the purpose
willed to man, which purpose God makes free, must
Purpose of Free Personal Life 97
fulfill God's purpose for the life which He made
personal self.
Will Higher, life's Maker, wills that life per-
sonal win the wider life that was from the creation
purposed. What worth wins for life that wider,
fuller life? The worth which man finds. That life
which wins freedom is man for earth life. That
worth which life finds by God's purpose is by its
own purpose found. That purpose is free. Man
wins his purposed wider life by purpose his own.
Think well, man who purposes to-day for life.
Miltiades.
Man who purposes that life find worth finds that
worth for his life immortal. Why then purpose
weakly for life worthy, O man? Your free power,
life's purpose, wins for your life of self the freedom
which life must find. Think well, then, man of free
purpose.
The purpose which life finds in man frees life
from man. What purpose frees life? Purpose
for worthy life, purpose for work well finished, pur-
pose that life's powers be worthy the wider life's
work. When man finds this purpose life wins free-
dom.
Ill
PURPOSE OF WILL HIGHER
PURPOSE OF WELL HIGHER
Dr. Coulter.
THE purpose of Omnipotent Will, the
purpose of Him who made life man, fol-
lows that life while it is man. For that
life He wills the life of earth, the work
of earth. Man works the work which He who
made him life purposes then. Will Higher made
the life of man immortal life. He wills for that
life work; for the life of man earth work, for the
life wider after life of earth the work of wider life.
The purpose of Him who wills for life of man fol-
lows life while it is. Life immortal works its first
work in man on earth. That work is by will of
life's Maker the preparation for the wider work of
life beyond earth. When that work of man is fin-
ished He who wills for life judges that life. When
life wins through work well finished the worth that
work well finished brings, when that life wins firm
will, firm purpose, when that life finds will free the
help which Higher Will purposes it shall be, He
translates life to wider, fuller life, and wider work.
When that life wins by free will the worth which
He who purposes for life wills that man must find,
101
102 Will Higher of God
He wills for that life wider life in freedom from
man.
When the Universe was not the life who. Omnip-
otent, willed it to be was Life Infinite. He willed
into being life finite. That Will Omnipotent wills
for the whole that He made. His purpose follows
the life finite which He made while He wills it to be.
Man is that life for which Omnipotent Will pur-
poses. For that life He purposes wider, fuller
life; for that life He purposes worth; for that life
His purpose is that it find worth for itself ; for that
life He purposes that it find worth by free will.
That life He made life immortal, and for that life
immortal He purposes forever. Man wills for life
wider by the purpose of Him who made him life
immortal. Man wills his worth of will free by His
purpose. All that He made fulfills His purpose.
Purpose of life's Maker wills that life be man till
it win of its free will the life wider. Man is per-
sonal self, willed free will, given the purpose which,
well used, wins worth. Then that life which for
earth is man wins the life wider by purpose of Him
who made it personal life. But the will which per-
sonal life uses must be well used if man the life win
wider life. Purpose of the Wilier of life and will
follows life while it is. Man, life immortal willed
wider life, purposed to find will given the help
Purpose of Will Higher 103
which brings worth, wins the life wider using the
will of life personal. That which life must find it
finds by free will. The purpose of Him who wills
for life forever follows life while it is man, follows
life while it is. He wills for life worth far exceed-
ing man's worth, and by free will that life wins its
worth in man and while it is. The purpose of God
that which He made fulfills.
The purpose of Him who wills for all makes man
immortal life. Man, the worker on earth, is life
that wins freedom from earth. Man who wills for
life of man is life that wins wider life than that of
man. Will free the Wilier of Life makes man's
power, and by will free man finds the worth which
brings to immortal life its wider life. Man wills
worth or unworthiness by free will. Man then finds
will free help or harm as he chooses. But man wills
for life worthy finally because the life which is then
man has learned wise use of free will. The pur-
posed worth life finds willing by free will, yet life is
willed worth. But what man fulfills God's pur-
pose? The man who last incarnates life immortal.
That life for which worth for wider life is purposed
wins the wider life finally, taught by the purposed
work and life of man. The purpose of life's Wilier
man finally fulfills, for life in man finally finds free
will the help it is purposed to be. Wise free will,
104. Will Higher of God
taught wisdom by the life of man, fulfills the pur-
pose of life's Maker for life on earth. Man wills
his worth of life himself, but his worth is by Higher
Will purposed. Man wins wider life by wise use
of will free, but the wise use is by Will Higher pur-
posed. Will free fulfills for life the purpose of
life's Maker.
The Higher Purpose for the life willed makes
that life personal self whose purpose is free. But
that purpose, though man uses it freely, fulfills the
higher purpose. The free purpose of life personal
wins the worth which life must find. The purpose
willed to life fulfills the higher purpose for life.
Man wills his worth through his own purpose, but
that purpose is by Will Higher given him. Man
wills that worth through which life wins wider life.
Willed power of life fulfills higher purpose for life.
Will Higher, will of the Wilier of Life, pur-
poses for that life while it is. Man willed his life
by the Higher Will is purposed wider life than that
of worlds. Worlds fitted for life of man God
willed to be working place for the life which He
made immortal. The life, willed to be man is life
purposed higher life than that of worlds. The life
which Will Higher places in man is life far wider to
become than man's life can be. Help the life of
worlds is by Will Higher purposed to be for the
immortal life.
Purpose of Will Higher 105
Wilberforce.
The purpose of Him who wills for all governs
life which He made. Man" who works then has by
His purpose that work. Will Higher He is, Will
whose purpose life made by Him fulfills. The
work which He wills to be man's work prepares life
for its work of life wider. Life willed man's work
is willed wider work after the man's work is fin-
ished. Will Higher of Omnipotent God rules life
while it is. Man works because He wills for him
work. That work prepares life for the wider life
of work which God purposes for life immortal.
When man wins the worth of life which He who
made him purposes that life on earth shall find, He
translates that life to wider life. The wider life
wins fuller worth by His purpose. Self of man
finds that wider life. Man is made life of personal
self whose will is free. Then that free will must
fulfill the purpose of man's Maker. Willed pur-
pose firm, willed life worthy, that life of personal
self wins both firm purpose and worth of life by
wise use of free will. The purpose of Him who
made man life personal, who made him free in will,
is by that free will of personal life fulfilled.
Purpose of Him who wills for the life which He
made follows that life while it is. Man is the life
to which He wills worth for wider life; will that
man has is free; but for that life while it wills the
106 Will Higher of God
purpose of Him who made it free in will must by
that free will be fulfilled. Man is personal life
whose will, necessarily free, must finally be used for
worth; and that which He wills who purposes for
life while it is man that personal life fulfills by wise
use of its own free will. Man who wills as personal
life finds by personal free will the life worthy which
is by purpose of God willed. Purpose for life im-
mortal of Him who made it personal self is by the
will of personal self fulfilled.
The life which wills is life willed worth; the life
which works is life for which work is purposed to be
teaching. Man is life for which wider work and
wider life is purposed. Then man wins that life
wider, purposed to win it, and his work which Will
Higher gives for teaching will finally teach. Then
why may life work ill? Why may life find work
little help? The life of personal self wills as it
chooses; for worth or unworthiness it uses free
will; but the purpose of God is that life find free
will a help finally. Then free will with which life
works may be worthily or unworthily used, but
finally must be worthily used, for the purpose of
Life's Wilier that which He made must fulfill.
Wisdom life finally learns; that which God pur-
poses life finally wills of its free will; and the pur-
pose for which life is man on earth life fulfills using
the power which God makes free. Will for life
Purpose of Will Higher 107
worthy life finally finds. Thus the purpose of
man accords finally with the purpose for life im-
mortal of Will Higher.
Miltiades.
Man wins his worth himself, for he is made life
of personal self; but his worth is purposed. That
purposed worth life must find, yet the life is free in
will. What follows this truth? This — Man who
is life personal, who is life for which worth is by
God purposed, must find the life worthy using free
will. The purpose of Him who makes life free in
will must be by free will fulfilled. Then free will,
though free, must, and life which wills for itself its
worth finds it by God's purpose.
Will Higher, life's Maker, wills for life while it
is. Man who wills by free will fulfills finally the
purpose of Him who made him life personal.
What thought there for help ! By God's purpose
life wins wider life. By His purpose will for life
worthy is finally found. Man who uses life's free
will finally wins by that free will the worth which
brings freedom and fuller life. For life that wills
using free will God purposes, and the free will ful-
fills His purpose.
The higher purpose of Him who wills for all fol-
lows that which He made while He wills it to be.
Man, the life willed by Him, wills by free will be-
108 Will Higher of God
cause He wills him to be personal self. Man who
works life's earth work finishes that work finally be-
cause God wills for his life wider work and fuller
life. All that which God made fulfills His pur-
pose.
IV
THE POWERS OF LIFE
THE POWERS OF LIFE
Dr. Coulter.
WILL, mind, purpose, memory, the
powers with which man lives his
earth life, will be the powers of the
same life while it is. Man is per-
sonal self, and his powers are his own, yet they be-
long to his life immortal while that life is. Man
works using those powers, and by their wise use he
wins wider work of man. But life has yet wider
work to do than that of man. Man who wills, pur-
poses, thinks, remembers, is using the powers which
his life immortal will forever use. But the man is
life immortal which wins its first worth on earth.
Those powers must be made help while the life is
man, for the Will Higher wills that by their wise
use life wins the wider life. Man wills that which
Will Higher purposes finally, for life learns in man
wisdom. But the life now man may not use those
powers wisely. Then that life wins but further
work of man. Well has life willed, well has it pur-
posed, well has it used mind when it wins the free-
dom which God purposes for life immortal. Man
wins the worth of life by which life is made ready
111
112 Will Higher of God
for life wider using well those powers ; life in wider
life wins its wider worth using the powers that won
it freedom. The powers of life immortal man has;
man must wisely use those mighty powers if he
would win freedom.
Wilberforce.
The powers with which man works, those mighty
powers whose worth man but partly finds, are the
powers of his life immortal. With those powers
life works while it is. Man uses those powers for
the work by which life is taught wisdom. They
win for life immortal the wider life of freedom.
Man first uses them, knowing that they help him,
but unknowing that they belong to his life itself.
When man wisely uses them his life wins freedom
from work of man. Then think, man who uses
mind, will, purpose. The life which would win
freedom must wisely use them all.
V
WORDS FOR HELP
WORDS FOR HELP
Dr. Coulter.
WE who make this book would help
men to wise thought for life itself.
Work which man does he does that
life immortal free itself from weak
will. His purpose who made life wills that man's
work be teaching for life itself. What purpose
may man find by the teaching which God wills for
life? Purpose that makes life worthy freedom
from man. Will which man uses life has for its
use after it leaves man. God gives that will to man
that it be help to him in his man's life, and wider
life finds help when man uses his will with purpose
that life work well and be worthy. His power man
has by God's purpose. Life purposed wider life
man is, and his wise use of that power of life man
learns through the teaching his Maker purposes.
Man wills then on earth that life immortal find
worth for freedom and higher, fuller, more glorious
life.
Man, world-dweller, is life purposed life wider
and work higher than it finds on earth. His work
115
116 Will Higher of God
purposed for teaching helps life to firm will needed
for its wider work. Man lives the earth life think-
ing his work but helps for that life ; Will Higher
made that work help for life forever, for by that
work life finds the firm will purposed to be help for
life forever. Man wills as life his work then, pur-
posed by it to win firm will. Yet work teaches man
little, perhaps. How then will life find freedom?
It cannot find freedom until the firm will needed
for wider life is won. God wills that life be man.
He wills that life find in man firm will. All lives
finally find freedom. But until life finds firm will
it must work man's work and be man. Think, you
who will your work weakly done: you will each
day for life.
Man who lives the life of earth wills for his man's
work and life using the powers he has as life pur-
posed immortality. His will, his purpose, his mind
he has as the powers which help life that must work
both man's work and wider work. As life that
must find freedom by the wise use of those powers
he lives the earth life. Will firm he must find, for
by will firm life frees itself from earth. Purpose
firm he must find, for life willed freedom purposes
for itself the worth that frees. Mind he must use
well, for life will need its help when freed. The
powers which man uses he uses for life purposed
freedom. Then mind, will, purpose he must finally
Words for Help 117
use well, for the life of self must be freed. God
wills for man those mighty powers which help life
forever. Will Higher purposes for life to which
He gives those powers freedom won by wise use of
them all.
Will Higher purposes for life willed man's work
and wider work that by man's work it prepare for
the wider work beyond earth. Through wise use of
man's powers he wins freedom for life itself. Pur-
posed worth in man, life finds that worth through
man's use of mind, will and purpose. Those
powers man uses as life willed work wider to come,
and the purpose which frees life life finds in man
by the way God wills, man's work done well and
man's life lived well. Will free man has, and by
that free will he works his man's work and makes
his life worthy. God purposes that man find,
through the way He purposes, the firm will, the
firm purpose, the well used mind that life needs
when freed.
Man wills for life purposed freedom. By will
given man wills, and the purpose which makes life
worthy, God's firm unwavering purpose, man ful-
fills by wise use of free will. That man wills as
life purposed wider life is thought which helps the
man who works man's work. Believing that to be
truth the man will use his free will well, and free
will becomes the help that Will Higher purposes.
118 Will Higher of God
Life wills as man wills, well or ill. Man who has
free will, remember that. Work for life, will for
life, purpose for life. Wider life comes after the
man's life finished when man has learned the lesson
which Will Higher purposes life shall learn, that
will to be help must be firm in work and firm for
worth. Life wills as you will, O man. Think.
Will Higher, man's Maker, purposes while life
is man for that life. That word men need, for they
forget God too often. Man works the earth work
thinking he works for his man's life only; man wills
that his man's work be well done thinking he wills
for himself as man only. He works immortal life's
work; he wills as immortal life. As man wills life
wills, and the thought that man works and wills for
earth only harms him. We tell that life immortal
works man's work, and we know that we tell truth.
Man who wills man's work well finished wins the
firm will that life needs when freed. Man who
purposes while he works that his life be worthy wins
that worth for life immortal. Man who uses mind
well makes that mind ready for life's wider thought.
We help those who will heed our words. Man who
works now, think. Will Higher, life's Wilier,
man's Creator, wills that while life is man it pre-
pare for the wider life He purposes for life im-
mortal. We who know Him, we who have won
that wider life, would tell to men His word, His
Words for Help 119
truth. Man who wills, think why He wills you free
will; think why He made you life personal; why
you have those mighty powers, mind, will, and pur-
pose; why life uses them in you; why you will for
the wider life now ; why will is free ; why man must
find free will firm. The willed life you are; the
life's powers He who made you man wills you the
man to use; the will free of life personal He wills
you. You then, win the worth that He purposes
life shall find willing by your free will. You make
life purposed wider life ready for wider life. Will
that thought be help? We pray it may.
Will Higher, the will of the Maker of Life, wills
for life made while it is. The will which life uses
is willed power ; the purpose which life uses is willed
power. Man, the life of earth, uses for his work
and for his worth the will free willed to him as life.
Will free of life purposed worth wins that purposed
worth. Will of man, willed will, wins purposed
worth of man who is life willed worth for wider,
fuller, better life. Will free wins for life the worth
it wins to eternity. God's purpose that life find
worth for His presence life fulfills by the free will

wise use of free will, helps that life while it is.
Life personal wills for wider life using free will,
and for worth life wills while it is of free will. The
will free fulfills the purpose of Him who makes
it free. Man, the life personal, wins that which
life must, worth for freedom, by wise use of his will
free. Man, purposed life wider, finds worth that
brings life wider using will free. Will for life
worthy is will free wisely used. Man who wills to-
day, find this thought your help.
Man wills, choosing as he wishes, but the pur-
pose of Higher Will follows life that is for earth
man while that life wills on earth and forever.
Man, though free in will, is life which fulfills the
purpose of Higher Will. Will free which man
uses is by Higher Will given, and the purpose of
the Will who makes life personal self is by the
willed free will fulfilled. Worth won by life in man
that life takes to wider work and fuller life. Will
Higher purposes for life while it works man's work
that through that work it find firm will. That
which Higher Will purposes the life fulfills by firm
will won in man. Will Higher made man life, wills
for that life free will, wills that free will fulfill His
purpose.
Man wills his worth himself, but man is life which
must find worth for wider life than that of man.

must win that worth, for life is made personal self.
Will firm wins freedom, but life must find will firm
in man. God's purpose life must fulfill of free will,
and life which wills of free will wins life wider, by
the purpose of its Maker, through wise use of free
will which life finds through the teaching which God
wills for man.
The higher purpose of Him who wills for life
made by Him is by that life fulfilled through the
means He provides. The man of free will wins
higher life using that free will. The life made im-
mortal life, personal self while it is, fulfills by the
powers of personal life the purpose of its Maker.
Man wins purposed worth for higher life purposed
by the will made his by Higher Purpose. Life
wins to eternity its worth through the personal free
will that man uses for its first worth. The higher
purpose of life's Maker the life which for worlds is
man, the life freed, fulfills through the means that
He provides.
We, with the man who writes the words we tell,
have worked with purpose to help those who will
think. We tell that man wins the worth that by
God's purpose brings wider, fuller, more glorious
life; that life must win that worth by free will,
for that which by God's purpose life must find on
earth it must find using its own free will. Man
wills as life for which God wills wider life; man
122 Will Higher of God
wills that which life's Maker purposes using his will
free ; man wills by will his own, the free will of life
personal, his worth, but that will God wills shall win
for life its worth while life is. While man wills
that which he chooses, man's Maker purposes for
his life immortal. The worth by which man wins
freedom he must will himself. What thought for
men here! We help those who will heed our words.

Wise purpose of Will Higher made life man;
wise purpose of life's Maker made life free in will,
free in purpose ; wise purpose of life's Wilier places
life on earth, there to find the firm will which He
wills that life find in man.
Will Higher, man's Maker, wills that man win
finally the worth that permits freedom. Finally
life in a man wills well ; finally man wills for worth
using free will. God purposes that life win in man
that which freed life finds help, firm will, firm pur-
pose. Man who wills must learn the lesson which
Will Higher purposes that life shall finally learn
in man. Man himself finds for life the firm will
and purpose which freed life uses. Each man may

you have, purpose that must be firm. Why not
make them firm now, O man? Each life wins its
own firm will and purpose.

Will firm that helps life man finds when he has
learned the lesson God purposes. Weak life has
its lesson yet to learn. Weak life wins not free-
dom. Remember this, man of weak will.
Will firm life finds in man. Will firm found by
man life will hold firm to eternity. Think, who
will now on earth. You may find for life immortal
the firm will it will hold while it is.
Will Higher was before He made the Universe.
Man is part of the Universe created. The Will
who made all beside Himself wills for all which He
made. None may forbid His will.
Then why was man made free ? For purpose of
God life was made free personal self. Will Higher
wills for life made free. His will is the will of the
Master of Life. Life made by Him fulfills His
will as He purposes. What must has life to fulfill
then? That by will which God made free it free
itself from weakness. For wise purpose of fife's
Maker man was made life personal. What follows
weak, unworthy will? Punishment of weakness
further, punishment of freedom postponed. Will
for worth God purposes, and by free will life must
win worth. When man chooses unworthy life he
himself holds life to earth. What would you will
then, you who are free ; worth that brings freedom,
or unworthiness that makes you man for further life
on earth ? You choose, for Will who made you life
124, Will Higher of God
wills that life win freedom by its own free will.
Man who wills for life, think.
Will firm man finds for life; purpose firm man
finds for life. For will firm man needs His help
who knows man's weakness. Help He will give
that man who wishes His help. Man wills well
helped by Him. Prayer followed by honest work
brings the help life needs. Will firm helps life;
will weak holds life to man. Work then man's
work praying for firm will, yet honestly working,
too. That wins God's help. Then life finds the
firm will which brings freedom. Think, who live
man's life now.
Will Higher wills for man. Each man wins by
his free will the worth he wishes, but for the life
which is man Will Higher purposes. Not for life
made to forbid His will. Finally life in man wins
the worth which He purposes it shall. Though life
wills of free will, life must obey finally God's will.
Weak life remains held to earth while it fulfills not
God's will. Think, man of free will; think well.
Will that man has, being life's will, man uses in
life's work of earth. That work finished, life works
the wider work of freed life. Man is the life
which must find worth. By free will man finds the
purposed worth which frees life from earth. In
man life works willing for wider life, and wider life

Man, who is life wider to he, wills as man for that
wider life. His free will God made the means by
which life must win freedom. God's purpose man
finally fulfills using the free will well, and finally
life wins, as God purposes, that worth through
which it becomes ready for wider life. The man
who wills to-day is life willed wider life. The will
man uses to-day must free that life from earth.
Think, you to whom God wills the means by which
life must win freedom. Think well.
Will Higher, life's Maker, wills for life purpose
as help to free will. The firm purpose which life
must win on earth, man finds. Life purposed free-
dom and wider life must purpose firmly. Free to
will worth or unworthiness, made life immortal, life
personal, man must find firm purpose while using
free will. Will weak wins but weak purpose ; weak
purpose frees not immortal life. Man who wills
for life immortal, think.

when freed; man uses that firm will while winning
for his life the worth that permits freedom; man
finds the purpose firm that helps freed life. Think,
you who are men. You find for life freed the firm
will, the firm purpose which that life needs. Why
wait for firm will then, why wait for purpose firm?
You must find them before God permits freedom.
Remember this, O men.
Will Higher wills that life be man while it wins
firm will. Will firm man finds then by God's pur-
pose. Man who works, remember that firm will,
firm for both work and worth of life, wins freedom.
Will firm that life uses in the life wider it finds in
man.
Will for worth man finds through prayer to his
Maker. God wills for the life He made His help
when the life prays honestly. Man who wills
weakly, think. Why let life weakly work; why let
life weakly purpose? Pray honestly; work after
prayer firmly; will after prayer firmly; then your
prayer is honest. Why let life waver, O man?
Ask with honest purpose your Maker's help.
Will Higher, Will who governs life immortal for-
ever, wills that man work life's work of earth.
Man works life's work using for that work life's

AVill Higher purposes. Will Higher frees life
when will free of man has won the worth He pur-
poses life shall find on earth.
Will Higher, who wills for the life made by Him,
wills that life be man; wills that life win freedom
and wider life; wills for that life wider worth than
man may attain. When that which Higher Will
purposes the life willed free will fulfills by that free
will, His purpose translates that life to freedom,
wider work, fuller, better life. Won by man is
worth for fuller life ; won by man is wider life than
man knows. The life freed wills its worth using
free will made firm by man. Will free man knows
he has. Then by that free power man wins wider,
fuller, happier life.

FINAL WORD
Dr. Coulter.
WE who have by work of man finished
found the wider work of life freed,
we who have won the worth of life by
which life finds freedom, would by
our word help men to find this life. The life freed
wins wider life to eternity. We thank our Maker
for the life and work of man that taught us to win
this life. We pray thee, O God, to bless this our
work for help.
