Christian unless no exercises in prayer.
Every Christian man is gymnast.
The speaker urged all to practice calls
themes for their own good, for the
exercise needed and for added power in
the training INDUCED in. The cry
today, he said, was for the trained
mind, the trained hand and the trained
eye to rightly train and direct others.

Message to Garcia" a writing that
has attracted much attention and which
has direct bearing on the subject of
Mr.. Shapes address, were distributed
