The Comforter. which is the
Holy Ghost, whom the Father will
send in my name, he shall teach YOU
all things, and bring all things to
your remembrance, whatsoever ] have
things to come.'-John 1918.

he Will guide YOU into all truth, for

whatsoever he shall hear. that shal
he speak, and he will show YOU
aid unto you.'-John 14:26.
Every word Of Christ is an answer
TO an aspiration of the soul. Every
one Of us longs to be free, to enjoy
liberty. Every person, who serious.
~ thinks, realizes that he is not free;
that, at times, even in his highest and
best estate, he cannOt hink, cannot
act and cannot feel as he longs to;
cannot exercise as he would either
of the three great faculties of the
mind-to think. to feel and to will.
Some might mysterious power holds
us in this bondage and governs. at
times, our thoughts, our feelings and
our acts. contrary to our wishes.
Christ promises, and His word never
fails, that some great, single ruth
t truth"-shall make us free from
this bondage. This promise clearly
contains His positive declaration that
we need to be "free"-that we are not
free. And. this promise. in it's decla-
ration and in what is promised, con-
firms our individual experience and
answers this longing of the soul.
What is that 'truth?" It is the cor
rect comprehension and understand
ing of our physical, spiritual and soul
constitution, con and Statuere: the

life and work, to be a complete and
perfect knowledge Of the right rela-

the brain never had any automatic
power to think. to will and to feel.
Not a bit more self action than the
hand has. In its highest estate, the
brain never had any mind power or
faculty. Every thought. every exer-
ton of the will and every emotion OF
feeling is purely a spiritual or psychic

through the appropriate member of
