Toretain or recover health, persons
should be relieved from anxiety con-
cerning disease. The mind has pow
er over the body. For a person to
think he has disease will produce
that disease. This we see effected
when the mind is intensely concen-
trated in the disease of another. 1t is
found in the hospitals that surgeons
and physicians who make a speciality
of certain diseases are liable to die Of
it themselves; and the mental power
is so great that sometimes people die
of diseases which they have only In
imagination. We have seen a person
sea-sick in anticipation of voyage
before reaching the vessel. We have
known q person to die of cancer in
the stomach when they had no can
Ger or any mortal disease. A blind
folded man slightly pricked in the
arm has tainted and died from be-
ieVing that he was bleeding to death.
Therefore well persons, to remain
well, should be cheerful and happy;
and sick persons should have their
attention diverted as much as possible
from themselves. It is by their faith
that men are saved; and it Is by
their faith they die. Ass man think
eth so he is. If he wills not to die he
can often live in spite of desesse; and
if he has little or no attachment to
life he will slip away as easily as a
child will fall asleep. Men live by
their souls and not by their bodies.
Their bodies have no life Of them
selves; they are only Feoeptacles Of
life, tenements for their souls, and
the will has much to do N continu-
