eyes that can see half a mile will be re

Then we have only five senses, and u
these we are shut up. Why only hv'
senses? Why not fifty; why not one hun

the best that God can do for US. God did
not half try when he contrived your bodily

Through prolonged study we learned the
alphabet, and then we learned to spell, and
then we learned TO read. Then the book IS
put before lis and the eye travels from
word to word and from page to page, and
we take whole days 10 read the book, and

There must be some swifter way and more
satisfactory way Of taking in Gods uni
verse Of thoughts and facts and emotions
and information. But this cannot be done
with your brain IN its present state. Mang
a brain gives way under the present facil

the nervous systen-this center Of percpp

than il now eudures.
But God can make better brain, aud he
sends Death to remove this inferior brait
that he may put in a superior brain.
