IN this world the most Impressive
thing, the most expressive thing, Is the

These bodies are wasting away. Somebody
has said as soon as we begin 70 live we
begin 20 die. Unless we begin putting
the fuel into the furnace the furnace dies
out. The blood vessels are canals taking

no cough, no neuralgia twinge, no rheu- i
matte pang, no hnttering Of the heart, no 4
shortness OF breath, no ambulance, no
no hospital, no inyalid's

resurrectGd body, free from all disease!
