afraid. You are absolutely safe in the

force of motion and we would be drawn
into the central orb to be melted into
primordial atoms.
By this hour tomorrow, you and 1
will have travelled considerably above
half a million miles over a road
we not only never Travelled before but
shall never travel again. Give thought
to this and you will feel less Goddess
than you did yesterday. And think
also of the fact that you have in you,
according to your weight, as great
proportion of the force that propeIs it
as the world itself has.
There was a time when wise men
thought the earth was motionless rs
you, Mr.. M" seem to think that some
of your estimable lady friends are
Goddess. They were mistaken as you
are. I have heard it said that some
cocks believe that the sun rises in the
morning to hear them crew. They
are in error as you are. If you turn
philosopher and square your thoughts
with the rule of God, you will find
that the very thing that makes the
sun rise in the morning causes the
wakeful rooster to herald to a sleeping
world the dawn OF another day.
All Goes by Rule.
Everything in creation goes by rule.
If there is a rule there must be a
ruler. In obedience to the rule, and
the ruler, every atom of the sfdereal
plains must act. The law is immuta-
BILE. When you shall have finished the

your brain that would amaze you If
you could comprehend it In the very
act of noticing the first letter of the
first word of it your optic nerve lost
a certain number of millions of atoms.
You may not believe this, but it is a
fact, a scientific, authenticated feet
nevertheless.
1t is not so very easy to comprehend
a God. but is much easier than it is
to Comprehend creation without a God.
All forces travel along the lines of
least resistance, and if Mr.. M will
allow his mind to travel as freely the

way, promise him, on the guarantee
OF unerring science, that it will ulti-
mately reach comprehension of God.
1t is hard for a woman to believe
that water is a constituent element
of her hair. her teeth and her finger
nails, but it is The average woman
will not believe that she is largely
watered stock, but she is If I have not
forgotten the lessons of my school
days. something like sixty-SiX per cent
of the human body is water. What,

God?
Is not His supreme knowledge
of art, of harmony, and of beauty that
directs the arrangements of those
their lovely forms? Is not feminine
grace entirely matter of molecular
arrangement? If, as science tells u.s.
there are eight sextillions of atoms in
as much human flesh as can be COW
cred by the head of a pin, and that
no two of these atoms of matter can
ever touch. how can Mr.. M con-
tinue to not believe that God, and
God only, is the father and creator
of women? Can he not see that the
beauty which is theirs exclusively is
the seal of their divinity-the sign
manuel which proclaims them the
most perfect work of God?
No Terror in the Grave
Stop a moment and think, Mr.. M"
Do not rush into the error that your
Goddess woman is beyond the pow
er and influence of God. You may
think, if she is in her grave, that you
will never meet her again. In this
you may be mistaken, also. Gods law
works in the grave as it does in the
Heavens, and in the depths of the |
ocean, and in the ether, and in the |
air. 1t is alike supreme everywhere. |
Death annihilates nothing. The grave |
cancels nothing. We are all dying ev- |
cry day-every hour and minute and |
second of every day. In the silence of |
the night We often think of the grave, |
and the fate of our bodies as they
will lie moldering in the earth. What /
fools we are at such times when D
