DIR. STILLS ADDRESS.

the program with the following
interesting address:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Those
OF you who have received the
light, and those who are in partial
darkness.
| am glad to meet you here to-
night, this being the second ami
versary of the beginning Of this
unfinished house. We began to
build it two years ago, and it has
done great good: but without the
completion of the whole body it is
very difficult for us to execute in
order the quantity of business that
is now ON hand, which seems to
double itself every few months.
This is also the anniversary of my
birth. Sixty eight times the earth
has made her circuit around the
sun, and every time she gets
around she says: Gone circle more
is made and added to the number"
We are conscious of the fact that
but few more revolutions around
the sun-which constitutes one
year for this globe-we are con-
scious of the fact that few more
rides will throw us off. A wild
mule will throw mau off at some
time, as general thing. So will
this life buck at the right time and
you will mark wreck. After a
man has reached the age that l
have, one ought not 10 be surpris
ed to hear of wreck at any time.
Still, | feel sound. | have no
back ache, no leg ache or no head
ache; but my tongue and throat
sometimes do ache. | try to an
swer all inquiries. People seem
to be surprised, as much so as if
they should see two suns rise in
the morning horizon; they seem to
be as much surprised to see a sci
ence and truth o. God developed
that applies to ali men and that is
without either taste or odor-a
science grated int mans make
up and his very life. They are
surprised to find that the Great
Architect has put in their places
within man all the processes Of lie.
He has placed ali the engines o.
life, and all the electricity for The
duties of life. Natures God has
been thoughtful enough to place in
man all that the word ''remedyH
means. 1t is a difficult matter for
a man raised to believe in the use
of drugs to realize this fact. Ir
all our diseases, from birth t.
death, they seem to have been sat
iSfed with the results of drug
when given wisely or given by our
wiSeSt men, our athers, mothers,
or whoever may have administer
ed them. Man is surprised to find
God to be God. He is surprised
to find that man is made by the
eternal, unerring Architect. He
is surprised from the rising of the
sun to the setting of the same to
find the eternal truths of Deity
permeating his whole makeup
He is surprised to find that the
machinery is competent to warm
itself and cool its.lf, select its food
and satisfy its highest anticipa-
tlOnS. We see this most wonder
full sun standing before us where
we never imagined star to exist.
1t is the sun of eternal light. The
thoughts of God himself are found
in every drop of your blood. When
a man begins to see what we are
doing here he is anxious to ask
questions of anyone who knows
anything about it, a world OF ques.
tions. | Can answer from morn
ing until night; and when | have
answered all that | can on this
subject it is but a beginning. Take
chronic diseases, contagious, cpl
denies, all diseases of the season,
when [ say we can handle them
and demonstrate it to you, here
stands man who never saw il
done, his mind is full of questions,
They must be answered. The very
instant that you disappoint him by
answering that which he thinks
cannot be done except by the
works of God in the hands of God,
that very instant you have an
swered his question. He will pass
on, and on the next corner when he
meets you he has a question for
you to answer containing a great
er per cent of sublimity than the
first. He asks that question; then.
