something is wrong, and its Intensity is

A highly or delicately organized life is
not necessarily an harmonious life. Our
lives are lived on different planes, under
different conditions and with different re-
sponsibilities. Each on its own plane
should be harmonious, working out the

understand. Whatever good one is capable
of must cause him suffering until he at

When that condition Is reached, although
the desire for higher things is ever grow

should bc health. The only reason that
health does not surely come is that we do
not know that we can have It.
The cause OF sickness is sin. This is n

explanation. Ii does not mean that every

higher plane, our lives are often less har.

New Philosophy Of Health.

The first Question to suggest itself when
one has grasped tho fact that the mind
can and should consciously control the
body, Is: why cannot this control be
taught better by oral instruction than by
silent concentration of thought?' Oral
instruction Is indeed "a part of the hcalor' s
work, but, strange as 1t may seem, not
the most important part. Many cases are
effected with little or no oral instruction.
And yet the influence excrted is not hyp-
