humanity are so tenaciously unwilling at
| first to accept the very thing they are in
search OF, j. e., something to better their
condition.
Thus 1t has ever been. Noting even
/ from the days of Jesus new teaching on
earth down TO the present day every step
has been made in the face of opposition,
and many step left its imprint in blood
| and life sacrificed for truths sake. We
to evince this fact.
Think OF Bruno, the Italian philosopher
J OF the sixteenth century, who, after being
] imprisoned for seven years, degraded and
accommodated, was finally burned to
the stake for announcing that which to-
| day is admitted as truth
And Calico in the seventeenth century,
after inventing his telescope and discover
ing other planets and the rotary motion of
! the earth, was arraigned as hereto and
/ sentence pronounced that he abjure all his
errors, be imprisoned and recite once
week for three years the seven penitential
psalms. And kneeling, clad in sack-cloth,
he swore upon the bible never again to
teach the earth's motion and suns stabil-
| ity. let in rising he whispered to him
self: "It does move for all that" And,
notwithstanding the insults and contempt
! OF the wise( p professors OF that day, this
| wave of truth rolled on TO bless us.
Then, Luther, Calvin, Wesley and oil
/ religious reformers were and are variously
| prosecuted for their advanced thought ere
/ il is accepted. Also the now world wide
praised discoveries and inventors, as
/ Newton, Fulton, Franklin and Edison,
were at one time called cranks and fools
| for adhering 10 their conviction of truth,
+ which ultimately blessed mankind.
! While physical torture is no longer in
| flicted. many are today made to endure
mental pain and soul anguish, because
4 they dare to adhere to their highest con-
viction OF truth ere it has dawned upon
the perception of the mass of humanity as
such who are ever slow TO accept new
/ ideas. But we thank God that prejudice
! and mans inhumari'v 10 man" grows
less and Tess. as the light of truth grows
\ brighter and love becomes enthroned In
/ the hearts of all to recognize the brother
hood of humanity
Hear some OF the last words of Victor
| Hugo: For 400 years the human race has
not made a step but what has left its
/ plain vestige behind. We enter now upon
] great centuries. The sixteenth century
} will be known as the age of painters, the
seventeenth will be termed the ago OF
writers. the eighteenth the age of philoso-
and prophets To satisfy the nineteenth
century it is necessary to be the painter
of the sixteenth. the writer of the seven
tcenth, the philosopher OF the eighteenth,
J and it is also necessary, like Louis Blanc,
TO have the innate and holy love of hui
mainly which constitutes an apostate and
opens up prophetic vista into the future.
In the twentieth war will be dead, the
/ scaffold will be dead, animosity will be
dead. royalty will be dead and dogmas
will be dead, but man will live. For all
there will be but one cOuntry-that cOun-
/ try the whole earth; for all there will be
/ but one hope-that hope the whole
heaven"
While this prophecy seems too good to
be realized. vet those who have prayed
/ for the coming of Gods kingdom on earth
7 ought 10 expect its fulfllment.
I In conclusion, would call the attention
/ OF our invalids to the article on the
/ eighth page Of THE SENTINEL of the 18Th
I inst. "Power of the Mind" which as
4 present manner of healing may be now to
some. and appear merely as an advertise
/ ment. But the science OF healing by
/ mind is not confined TO one locality, or
state, or even tie United States, and its
+ demonstrators are probably numbered by
+ the thousands, including some of the
/ most brilliant minds OF the age.
Noting that in all times and in all ages
i of history healing of the sick without
/ the use OF medicine has been demonstrated,
! and moro especially by the greatest
+ teacher of all ages-Jesus Christ and that
! now after more careful search and ex-
! perience OF some of our most profound
I thinkers for more than twenty wears. this
! is announced as q science, governed by its
! laws, ] have neither right nor inclination
/ to dispute it. Why should we repeat the
error and folly OF the past?
! Perhaps there has never been a cry OF
/ the human heart so strong as that for
I health and it must be answered. Yet for
/ years with the increase of physicians and
medicines, diseases and their fatality have
also increased until the climax seems
almost reached, and it is hoped that the
tide is turning, perhaps slowly, but
surely. when man will find a complete
modus operandi for the relief of suffering
| humanity. "MAUD MAPLE"
