of the errors ana the reasons Why I
man should not abuse his physical or
ganisln. But ! am here to state that
as God limits the natural realms in
which the fish can live, and the plants
can live, ana the creeping things, Ike
the worms and the snakes, can live, 80
God gives to man 4 physical realm
ana in that realm he must live If he
persists in going out Of that realm Lie
must die.
An AirS;Iip Tour.
step into the airship Of Santos-Du-
mont that wonderful wizard Of tie
mir. The Brazilian acrGnaut says.

you like q sail over the waters Of the
Mediterranean? Would you like to

ambitious, ana, forgetting the .imita-
tons of my body, say. Nay. not any
IF these Journeys would so. But rs
a sailor might sight the cleaning eye
of a lighthouse from afar and head
| toward an open harb9r. | would head
toward the lighthouse Of some star.
would explore an unknUwa world"
! With that request 4 smile WITCHES The
corners Of my companions lips The
| machinery Of his airship bcgirs to
shr0b We mount higher ana higher
and higher until it Stems the blood
must burst from my aGdni2ing brain.
WHAT is the matters" I cry. .Turn
the ship, turn Il, or shah die" With
that Santo&Dum0ut Turns Che airships
ru4der ana as We begin to descend he
says Il took You on This Journey to
prove to you that it Is an mp0ssibjlity
FOR man to liyo far above he earth,
When the air becomes rareiiol there Is
not enough substance there fer man 10
breathe. God has decreed that phys
zeal man meyer can fly like bird away
10 the stars. He is free ~ live in this
air only as he breathes that mir when
his feet are planted upon the solid
earth
Down iEco the shaft Of a coal mine
descend. Farther and farther l go
until the darkness seems to be hurled
at me. | cling in dunb fear to the
miner BY my side We 80 down and
down until the heat becomes Ike The
bIistering sands Of the Sahara desert
Fresh air from above is now pumped |

grows more and more intense until ii |
seems l cannot live. suddenly we come
to the end of long coal shaft why |
not fartherY ask my guide. Has
the coal ycin stopped hereT Nay"
Is the answer, the coal Is Just as rich
farther on, but 1t is an impossibility
now to work it. The farther we bur
row into the earth the hotter it be-
comes. God has decreed that physical
mau must live on the earth's surface.
He may pass around the surface Of the
earth. but cannot 90 through it, lie
can never tunnel his way from New
York TO Pclllug" What is true Of the
air and land is true also Of the sea.
In that wonderfully interesting book
called "Intra Mund" the author de
scribes one OF the pleasures Of heaven
IS walking through the crystal halls
If the river Of life We know not
what may he the delights reserved for
IS in that celestial sphere. II may be
,urs 10 pass dryshOd through the river
If life as the Hebrews passed through
he Jordan. But while we arc In this
life we cam never explore the
.rystal halls Of The Atlantic ocean nor
all through the ether of the skies II

Gmc weeks ago when they were drawn I
MT Of their natural element. Physical
nan has his limitations Of life. Il we
would physically live we must obey ,
ertain physical laws. We cannot cat I
ebbles like an ostrich. We cannot ,
hibernate like snake. We cannot I

Our Social Limitations. 7
We also have social limitations. 81 p
lat I mean in the liberties oi social s
'oBonIies. Every mans liberty ends ,
here his neighbours liberties begin. As G
citizen Of the United States I have DO b

1t possessed in an equal degree By cy-
v other private citizen " tie United i
tatcs Neither has amy other citizen n
the United States q social right which l.
as an individual citizen DO not pos iC

inc only as long as dc not transgrcss q

Let ne illustrate my thought By The n
villzed laws Of our country. America n
called the "iand cf tire free. But OF
