very soon. They are waiting for you;
thev are watching the golden shore to
see you land; they are watching the
shining gate to see you come through;
they are standing by the throne TO see
YOU mount. What a glad hour when
YOU drop the staff and take the scep-
ter. when you quit the stiffened joints
and become an immortal athlete! But

people, whether in the twenties, the
thirties. the forties. the fifties, the six
ties, the seventies or beyond.
The Need of All Ages.
What we all need is to take the SUI
pernatural into our lives. Do not let
us depend on brain and muscle ana
nerve. We want a mighty supply OF
the supernatural. We want with us
divine force mightier than the waters
and the tempests, and when the LORD
took two steps on bestOrmed Galilee,
putting one foot on the winds and the
other on the waves. he proved himselr
mightier than hurricane and Dlllow'
We want with us divine force greater
than the fires, and when the LORD cool
ed Nebuchadnezzar's furnace until
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego Ola
not even have to fan themselves he
nroved himself mightier than the fire.
We want a divine force stronger than
wild beast. and when the Lord made
Daniel lion tanner he proved himself
stronger than the wrath of the Jungles.
There are so many diseases In the
world we want with us divine Physi-
clan capable of combating ailments
and our Lord when on earth showed
what he could do with catalepsy and
paralysis and Ophthalmia and demen'
tia. Oh. take this supernatural into all
YOUR livesl How to get it? Just as
you get anything you want-by appli-
cation.
