The Health Lift.

My first acquaintance with the Health Lift was
two years ago. had then been compelled to re-
lnquish ministry on account of an entire prostra-
zion of my nervous system, which had resulted in
an inability to sleep. l soon found that ten min
utes' exercise on the Health Lift did more to re-
lax the nervous strain, and induce sleep than
hours of walking in the open air, or than any ex-
ercise whatever. 1 use the Machine now, every
day, and could not do without it.s

the entire system, do not know of any exercise
that is equal to it. REV. E. p GARDNER

Beginning with creation and quoting
literally from Divine Revelation. Man
was given a proud estate, but he
yielded to temptation and fell. The
human system is wonderful in it's CON
position. What a multiplicity Of actions
do the muscles govern; what an engine
of important power is the heart; What
system of telegraphy in the nerves;
what wonderful instrument the human
voice. capable of producing more than
seventeen trillions Of separate sounds
Consider then the true nature of man
and the thousand and one faculties
anderlying it; consider too the wonder
full expansion of which the mind is sus'
eptible--ranging from zero almost to
infnity! Educate one nature to the
neglect OF the others, and the result il

sists in fan development of mans
physical, moral and intellectual natures
All should be eeojointly drawn out
built up. Parents generally educate thu
wrong boys and giris for the professions
Not the weak but the strong physically
should receive the highest intellectua
culture. Education is not all received
in colleges. Opportunities for study
now are better than ever before. Young
men seize upon these, apply yourselves,
whether 10 school or college, or without,
to study and observation while you are
