than 800 years ago. There is nothing
good or evil but thinking makes It So"
Scientists during the past few years
have made remarkable discoveries along
this line. showing most conclusively that
the mind exerts a powerful influence
upon health II we live fin an environ
ment that is free from concupiscence and
iniquity such a condition cannot but
make US better men and women.
Scripture tells US that "as a man think
eth so is he" If we think evil, then cur
actions viii be evil, and vice versa Any
man whose mind is fun of evil cannot be
in good health. Let him first clean his
mind and then. all things being equal, he
stands a good chance of gaining that
health which God and nature intended
should be his. CHARLES BERGIN.

To wait in weakness and to walk in
power.
But always fronting onward to the light.
Always and always facing toward the

Anguish Of mind has driven thousands
TO suicide, anguish of body, none This
proves that the health Of the mind is Of
far more consequence than the health Of
the body. although both are deserving Of
far more attention than either OF them

A strong. healthy body is admired by
all men. God gives us healthy bodies in
the beginning. and we should keep them
50 that we may enjoy all there is in life
and be able to lend a helping hand to our
less fortunate brother.
a pessimist cannot be really healthy,
and one of the best precepts OF long
lasting is that we be cheerfully disposed
at hours of meat. Of sleep, and of exec
else that our bodies may thrive and be
kept in healthy condition.

My words are spirit and they are life.

When we are constantly associating
with an infinite variety OF inteIligenees
Of various degrees OF development It
takes determination, resolution, and will
power 10 make ourselves positive to sug-
gestions OF sickness and manifest perfect
health. Christ was at one with the In
finite Father. yet He felt the necessity OF
retiring to the mountain tops AMI quiet
garden spots TO maintain His spiritual
poise and keep in touch with the infinite
supply. This is why He advises US 10
pray without ceasing." and especially
before retiring and on awakening. It is
thus we keep en- rapport with strong
spiritual vibrations and are protected
from harm. for the spiritual vibrations
do rule this planet, many disturbing con-
ditions on the material plane merely be-
ing the darkness before the dawn. We
must turn our faces from the creatures
to the Creator" and become radiant suns
Of love. harmony. and courage, thus
all those with whom we
come in contact.
