Tangled Threads of Life.

There are many ways in which the
threads in life's bobbin may tang!e or
break in the shuttle. There is Il donble
thread of body and soul. We are not
all body. as the atheists claim. nor all
soul. as our Christian Science friends
claim. The body is controlled by the
spirit. and the spirit is elated or de-
pressed by bodily conditions. Food.
climate. clothing. affect the soul.
Thoughts. hopeful or despairing; love.
anger. revenge. forgiveness. affect the
body There is also II double thread Of
