CHARACTER IS BARED

Individuality by Letters. Declares Persons* Names Are Chosen by Their Souls Before They Are Born and Not by , Parents. Cambridge, Mass. —Dr. Julia Seton Sears, head of the New Thought movement, has a new method of telling one’s failings and capabilities—by a process of figures. “Few people realize,” says Dr. Sears, “that the names they were baptized with and the date of their birth were not chosen by their patents, but by -their souls before they were born. But this is true, and each baptismal name and each birthday means something: ' 7 , “When I have explained the system of names and numbers it will be seen that it can be applied by anyone, it is so simple. It is worked out on a basis of harmonious vibrations, -"There’ 1 are just eleven types of people-in the universe. We all go through each of those types in some one of our many lives. First number off the alphabet as follows: 123456789123456789123 ABCDEF G H I JKLMNOPQURITU VWXYZ. 456 7TJ Now take, for instance, Anna Browne. In the place of each letter, put its corresponding number and then add them. Anna wil be one, plus five, plus five, plus one, equals twelve; and Browne will be two plus nine, plus six, plus five, plus five, plus five, equals thirty-two. But no number above nine is used. Therefore, add the two digits in twelve and they will equal three, which is the number that stands for Anna. In the same way, five stands for Browne. Add these two and the result for the whole name is eight. Eight stands for a critical technical type of mind which can win success in a material way. It goes with a sympathetic soul which will help its fellow man socially, Industrially or politically. The elghteers are usually people found at the head of large commercial enterprises. They have strong individuality and are generally

looke'd up to by their associates. They make good ■’business men, good orators, lawyers and physicians. “But this eight represents only Anna Browne’s personality, or what the world sees in her. Her ‘exotic’ or true inner self is found by adding

up the vowels alone in her name. Anna will give one, plus one, or two, and Browne six, plus five, or eleven, which reduces to one, plus one or two. Adding the values of the two. names we have four for her exotic personality."
