ALOs II IL QOeS not 90 the work, this
untrammeled to give space for lung ca
pacity. The boy singing in choir at
some time between thirteen and seven
teen will find his voice so changing from
the treble of boyhood to the tenor of
manhood that it will be necessary to stop
singing for year or two until his voice
becomes settled. This is the period of
bone growth and the muscles fill out
later. Immediately after this period of
changing voice and bone growth the
body increases in girth as rapidly as the
bones elongated during the former period.
! This increase of muscle and bone re-
quires corresponding increase in the
size of dig estive, respiratory and circula-
| tory organs. Though much of our work
today is brain work, yet the relation be-
tween body and mind is so intimate that
robust body makes the mind more eff
fective. This period of change of voice
is when the genital organs are develop
ing the power of reproduction. But the
boy does not reach maturity until TWEEN
ty-five years of age and the girl some
what younger. The object of this series
of lectures by DR.. Hall is to impress
upon the boys and girls the importance
of associatlng with none Of the opposite
sex whom they would not take to their
home 10 associate with their parents and
brothers and sisters. They are warned
not to over-exert their strength during
this period of most rapid change.
DR.. Hall said that he himself and nine
tenths of his generation went out into
the world without ever having been told
of the pitfalls to be encountered in life.
They are all portrayed in the Bible, but
people have become too modest to bring
before their children that knowledge
which is essential to the protection and
well being of the body. First that part
of the Bible relating to the genital organs
was ruled out as obscene literature, and
then the part relating to the obedience
Of children was ruled out as being liable
to crush the spirit of nervous chill
dren." Many have been trying to rule
out obedience to God, which would be the
final blow.
No harbor master would allow a craft
to leave the harbor without chart. A
chart is just as essential to the voyager
Of LIES ocean as it is to the mariner.
Discipline is as essential on land as it is
on sea. The child who has never got
right conceptions of family relations can
never get true conception of his rela-
tons to God. God created plants and
animals, male and female. Through
sinful Indulgence man has come to re-
gard the genital organs as disgraceful
topic of conversation If we study and
obey every law but the law of repro
duction We are building a house upon the
sand. The lesson taught is that every
organ of the body has it's use and must
be cared for according to natures laws.
Obedience is the first law of nature. All
must obey or rum is sure. In this case
absolutely no sporting allowed The
poet says:
But man we find the only creature
Who led by folly ccmbats Nature
1t is interesting to watch the processes
of nature. We may see the germ spot
or masculine part even in a fresh egg.
During the Matching process the develop
ment of this germ may be watched. The
mother frog lays her eggs in the water,
but no tad-poles would ever grow from
them if the father frog did not pour over :
them the fluid which nature has enabled
him to secrete for the reproduction of
his species. The mother part of kernel :
OF corn is located on the corn cob, but it /
would never develop into kernel of corn
unless the father part falls upon the !
thread of silk which extends from the
corn cob out under the husk to the outer |
air. The same rules prevail throughout !,
the animal and vegetable kingdom. The !
Bible has been pronounced by some to be |
100 outspoken in regard to these hidden +
processes. However much we may ad- !
mire family harmony, it is becoming a
serious problem whether any person can
afford to spend life with a companion
who has the audacity to oppose the read
ing of the Bible in the family. To one
who had broken the commandments of t
Jesus, he merely said Neither do con-
denim thee; Go and sin no more" 1t is
a great wonder that during his three
years ministry he never told anyone to
go wash in a fountain filled with blood
drawn from Immanuel's VEINS" The
cross of Christ is rather harsh express
sion meaning the love of God and the
love of man. 1t would be better if peo-
pie would express their thoughts in mod
ern language. The Bible opens by tell
ing US of God, the Creator of all things.
Later we are told of Jehovah, leader
of his people. Jesus introduced to US a
Father whom we need not fear SO long ,
as we obey his laws. ,
