Of contradictory and conflicting purposes

Of one master mind. The musicians are
stupid and cannot read the score, or

But you ask, "M,ry not the mind alone
do TINT? Yes. But what the mind does,
God does No man has power apart
from Cod for ''in Him we live and
move, and have our being This Is no

tho Bible. Power" says the Psalm'st
"bclongeth unto God" and He giveth
power to His people.
* The electric currents are Il1s--but lilo

nerve currents are equally His. and equal
" their direction He ntrusts to men. An
activity Of mind, body or health, has but

d,,ect the current.
Blessed is that man, who knows, that
he is living in a divine world, and SO
uses the divine forces or the world OF
society, and his own soul IN divine lei
lowship, and for divine ends.
