| for it is harder than supposed, for the
Spirit of God to get at the brain pre-
sure of them and when all through his
life he has been diseased with this
physical evil. l think too, that have
the Spirit of God in this assertion, for
the last words in writing to man kind,
Jehovah said that whatsoever lies or
makes lie will be ultimately shut
out of the heavenly city, no matter
how he has been baptized nor how
freely he spends his money at church
fair or social. The thing to do with
the disease you have discovered in
your child, is to cease making him
lie. The parent is too often at fault.
When you get after this child with
terrorizing attitude, and he is afraid Of
the result, the blood rushes immedia-
tely to his sore spot, in it the muscles
are largely developed, the thought
universe touches there first and the
hardest and he is going to act from
that spot, and there you have the lie.
Imagine for yourself now, you have
been teaching that immersion is the
only baptism. say just IMAGINE
you have been holding to that teach
ing. Suppose you are caught out
some night alone in the dark lane.
The big trees are locking arms over
the road. You hear all sorts of steps
about you and your hair is standing on
end and that chilly sensation is travel
ing across your back. Some immense,
great big ferocious human being
about seven times your size steps out
and encounters you on the subject of
baptism and asks you pointblank just
like you ask Jim if he did so and SO;
let this big human monster raise a
club about fifteen feet long and de-
mand of you if it is a fact that you
hold to immersion as the only way of
salvation and see how quick you will
sputter out some brief sentences on
how you think every body ought to
be allowed to settle that question for
himself. Suppose some great big be-
ing of this sort were to tackle me in
dark road at night and ask me if |
have been saying so and SO; imagine
now that the blood would rush to
certain spot in my head and there
wrild be quite scuffle if l did not
allow that giant to urge me out of
some of the dogmatism in my make
up. So | say the thing to do with the
disease of falshood in your child, is
to quit developing it and let it get
well.
Imagination is a great mystery.
Reader, hold your arm out comfort
ably and breathe deeply, imagining
you are breathing through your arm,
be deliberate about it. Of course you
KNOW you are not breathing thru
your arm, but imagine you are. There
now you are breathing right through
your arm. You can feel the cool
fresh air rushing in through your arm.
Now breath right through the top of
you head i'll the same way. You have
sore or a pain somewhere in your
body. Now imagine you are breath
ing through that sore. Of course we
kNOW you cannot breath through
the sore place, but just the same
IMAGINE you are and see what will
become of it. Now, wake at two in
the morning and IMAGINE that your
grocery bill is getting to be very large
IMAGINE you are going to be sick,
IMAGINE you are going to have
hard luck, and see how quick some
hideous monster will blow his hot
breath in your face ond see how fast
will come your breath and how rest
and sleep will depart from you. Most
OF us make this mistake with that
spot in our heads where MAGMA
TON roosts. Stop! Look!! Lis
ten!!! If it is a guess, guess good
Never guess to the evil side Of the
ledger. ! know good old soul who
imalgines she has been climbing up an
inch rope to heaven for fifty years
ana there has never been a moment
during all those blessed fifty years
that she has not looked for the hook
eys that is holding this rope to pull
put when she is within fifteen feet of
the goal and allow her to fall, fall
FALL, back into a bottomless abyess
where her fall will never, be checked
and where she will never strike any,
thing but ETHEREAL mystery and vast
space
The man who sleeps on his back
and who did so in his youth and child
hood is not perfected man. His
back brain is too heavy. Gravity has
pressed blood and jelly into that part
of the brain pan until he uses that
part to the detriment of all the other
regions. Even a setting or sitting
egg must be turned evey day. The
brainless hen knows this and is aided
IN 1t by her sensless companion. and
yet we go along in our deterioatine
and degenerating faults and then
blame heaven for the rags. With lust
and sufficient apologies to all the
splendid physicians in our midst let
me give you a secret. If YOU are a
or sick person, quite sleep
ing IN the position that has had So
much to do in making you sivk. Turn
INTO another position and let the blood
get INTO the old sore and cure Il I'll
VIII tire you, of course, to change and
put another side to the bed, but do Il
Turn another corner of your head |
down. Let gravity move the brains
blood little different.
