Excerpt from The New Philosophy, Vol. 20: January-April, 1917 We call the attention of our readers to the last page of this issue, containing the announcement of the Annual meeting of the swedenborg scientific association in Philadelphia on May 23. The papers to be read offer an unusual variety of interesting subjects, and should call forth instructive discus Sions. In our present issue we print an abridgment of Sweden borg's chapter on The means which conduce to True Phil osophy. This is the opening chapter of the principia, and in its unabridged form the portion printed herein occupies thirty two pages. We hope in a future issue to print an abridgment of the latter part_of the chapter, which treats of the True Philosopher.
