An Answer In Writing
This little piece of my life philoso
phy 1 wish to dedicate to you that
believe in goodness supreme: it is
beautiful and it charms me; to you
to whom these wonderful revelations
have come of providential care, cheer
ful appreciation as well as benevo
lent warnings the latter of course
concerning your neighbors more than
yourselves; to you that hope to be the
direct beneficiaries of your related
supernatural sights and of intimate
calls from heavenly regions; or in
short to all of you who fancy mysti
cism in especial.
Let me first tell you that, provided
you let your understanding, indepen
dently of ancient prejudices, govern
your judgments, you will never reach
any conclusions of purest bunk and
absurdity; on the contrary the fun
damental truth which is not compli
cated but simple, will come to you
easily and convincingly and you will
have an idea all your own that gives
that real satisfaction that truth alone
can give, when at the best falsehood
only brings uneasiness.
Man has slumbered in time immeas
urably long but he is awakening and
commences to judge the past and
present rational^, findiug that he has
had some pretty bad dreams and that
he still is troubled with the night
mare. Many there are that now
know that human logic is the only
means to dispose of the great errors
of the past and the present.
By its fearless application every
human misconception, born without
its considertion, must yield; and with
fundamental errors corrected, lesser
mistakes cannot prolong their influ
ence. The huiifan atiposphere when
this happens, will clear up all around
us.
The prevalent popular conception
in all its vagueness of cause and ori
gin of everything, in existence is as
near as 1 can come to it in words, as
follows: An eternal, omnipotent deity?
abstract or concrete in perfect lone
liness somewhere aside of an unfath
[omable nothingness, changed into
“somethingness” by means of magical
creation.
Dear readers, let us use the sense
the eons of time have given us.
Only on it can we rely in trying to
rid ourselves of those ancient mon
strosities of thought, that to-day
should have no other significance than
to show the utter helplessness of
man’s mind in earlier stages of de
velopment.
The simpler the axiom< strange to
say, the harder it seems to win the
conscious acceptance of the public at
large. Take for instance, this phe
nomenon of nothingness, which of
course is net a phenomenon at all,
and nothing else for that, matter. No
body could ever sincerely have had
such imaginations, yet religions have
presented it to man as the prevailing
condition when the creation started.
Nothingness extant must be dis
missed from our thoughts as a logi
cal impossibility, but instead and
as a consequence we must accept as
an unrefutable truth that a state of
“somethingness” must have exist
ed eternally and that thul something,
by necessity the eternal materia,
quantitatively and qualitatively em
bryonic or not must have in
cluded in its composition all
the evolutionary forces that we have
today. We know that the nature of
all developments goes from a lower
to a higher stage and that perfection
which in man would mean Godliness
never can be attained by means of
an eterndl evolution; we know that
within the universe we do not know’
the slightest fact about any more
highly developed beings ihan om
selves We know, mayoe, that every
thing decays in time to be resurrect
ed in various forms some other time;
otherwise wre cannot know very mucl
about the destiny of man without an
intimate knowledge of nature. Neith
er is there anything to reveal it to
us but our own plodding minds, stead
ily gathering more and more keen
ness. ,

Man’s mastery of the great resources of Alaska
would be impossible without one great instrument
of modern progress—petroleum and its products.
Standard Oil salesmen went in with the gold
rush. Since then eight distributing stations have
been established. Consistently, this Company has
pioneered in the work of delivering where and
when needed the petroleum products essential to
the fishing, mining, and other basic industries.
Our eighth station, opened last year at Seward,
has had the usual effect of reducing the cost of
petroleum products and making possible important
industrial expansion hitherto considered out of the
question. This has been due to savings in the cost
of transporting petroleum products as a result of
the economy and efficiency of our operations.
Two ships, “Standard Service” and “Alaska
Standard”—most modern electric-drive Diesel mo
tor ships, built especially for the Alaskan service—
will make more than 260 visits to ports of call
direct to customers this year—a considerable per
centage of these deliveries being in bulk to the
customer’s storage.
The high quality of Standard Oil products—
Red Crown gasoline, Zerolene oils and greases,
engine distillate, Pearl Oil, commercial fuel oil,
fuel for Diesel engines, etc.—is dependable always
and everywhere. Write our office in the Alaska
Building, Seattle, Washington, or the nearest
Standard Oil Station (shown on the map) for de
tails concerning our service in Alaska.
