Of the standard American revised edi-
ton OF the Bible aroused the general
assembly of the Presbyterian Church
today to one of the most spirited dis
cussions since the assembly met and
the attempt failed by a narrow mar
gin. A spirit of unrest manifested
itself today whcn resolution was
introduced providing that the com
mittee be appointed tc report the
matter at the next general assembly
on the entire subject of "The general
assembly" in an effort to make the
assembly more OF deliberative body,
Although the resolution was referred
to committee on policy, it is known
that many commissioners feel that
the general assembly is becoming too
great a burden on the churches,
A report OF the committee on pub
ilcation and Sabbath school work was
submitted and adopted.

Diaduction may be used to re-ani-
mate three classes of living organ
ism, namely: Human beings, ami
mails and plants, and thus there are
three branches; the Popular, simple
enough for any sensible, ten year
old child; the Scientific, familiar on
ly to the Discoverer, for use at the
eleventh hour; the Industrial, for
use in fostering the welfare of valu-
able farm animals, fowls, plants,
flowers, etc.
In short, Diaduction as learned and
developed by the Discoverer during
the last half century, applies to any
thing that lives. AS with any
science, for instance, surveying ar
chitecture, astronomy, there must be
implements, instruments, tools"
with which to utilize. to cause action;
and thus in Deduction, as in Nature
Itself, there are Devices adapted TO
Cause various effects, three of these
Diaductive means to ends being
named, to wit: 0xydonor, Vitara and
Panaxora,, each of which is adapted
to use by the general public, and
their proper use makes doctors and
supposed remedies not only useless
but absolutely foolish, because, If
Diaduction is available, he who re-
sorts TO drugs or knives commits
suicide. Dragging and knitting, If
done with knowledge OF the asser-
tions made by the Discoyerer OF Dia-
duction are mortal offenses against
the person. The Natural Laws,
which are the EmanatiOn of the SUI
preme, do not condone the slightest
violation, while obedience to those
laws confers immunity to disease, or
the only possibility of recovery from
IL.
The achievements of Doctor Sanche
in developing to Perfect Success the
science of Diaduction, and making its
utilization available to every sane
human being, have made doctors and
remedies, together with all the Re-
hash-Barbarism, an insult to intelli-
gence. an offense against omniscience
and demand that man shall make
knitting and drugglng statutory
crimes.
Nature is an infallible curer; the
Laws of Diaduction are the Laws
of Nature, the Laws Of The 0mnipo.
