Fear is the most prolific source of all evil.
Of course, if fear were understood in it's full
meta physical significance, it would be unde-
stood to be the provoking cause of all evil of
every sort. But even from the ordinary point
of view of the world, fear, when it communi
Gates itself to numbers, is capable of causing
greater disaster than any other phase of the
human consciousness The pagan philosophers
realized that there was such thing as the fear
of fear; in other words, as they stated it, the
fear of death was worse than death itself Cen
turies later Shakespeare appropriated the idea,
and put precisely the same sentiment into the
mouth of Isabella, in Measure for Measure"
and, indeed, any one who knows anything at all
of history knows how disease spread upon
the wings of fear in the case of that awful Wis
itation of the Fourteenth Century known as the
Black Death, and again when a pestilence of
similar nature swept London, in the seven
teenth Century.
Some day the world will come to see that
what it calls contagion is a mental contagion,
and that what it calls infection is the infection
of one mind from another. Orthodox medical
practice today largely recognizes this, but it
draws back from the logical consequences of it's
own admission, and endeavors to shelter itself
in halfway house, which is built partially out
of mind and partially out of matter. Any per-
son who has watched the ravages of such dis
ease as cholera in the East must know exactly
what this means. The European sahib, going
about doing it's duty, and quite fearless Of con-
sequences, moves through the cholera camps
with perfect immunity from the disease. But
the native, stricken by the disease, lies down
where he is overcome by it, whether in his house
or by the roadside, convinced in the suddenness
of the shock and the confusion of his fear, that
the moment has come from which it is useless
for him to attempt to escape.
In such conditions it is surely obvious that the
sanest treatment is to do everything possible
to destroy fear. Fear in a Christian community
should be self-condemned. Some nineteen CEN
turtles of reading the Johannine epistles should
surely have affected this if Christendom is un-
derstanding what it reads. It is little to the
point to say that fear in uncomfortable, for any
person who has ever had anything to do with
causes which produce fear knows that this is
not the case. Probably every man who has
made the sea his profession has been through
periods of fear which he has had to overcome in
order to gain that sereneness in danger, without
which he would be liability instead of an as

set on board his ship. Probably every man who
has ever been into action on land can tell you
something of the sickening sensations of the
first experience of battle. But as time goes on
the veteran rises superior to the fears of the
recruit, and daily takes his life in his hands
with camness which shows that he has learn
ed something at any rate of the dominion over
fear 1t is surely obvious then that in an hour
of great fear, when the prevailing tone of the
human mind, in the midst of the conflict of
Armageddon, finds expression in an epidemic,
that Christian country should rather resort to
it's churches to relieve itself of it's fears than
close their doors so as to sound the top not of
human agony in belief that Gods hand is so
shortened that it cannot save.
Let any person who has been brought in
contact with the conditions of today ask him
self frankly whether it is not fear which is play
ing such fearful havoc in the world Every
where men and women are afraid. Afraid in
the areas of war of storm blast that may at
any moment strike over them afraid within the
orbit of the air squadrons of the sound of the
terrible engines whirring in the darkness over
head and of hearing the bombs explode all
around; boys sleeping fearfully in the trenches,
waiting for the summons in the gray morning
to go over the top, and men and women Sleep
ing in towns and villages, miles and thousands
of miles away, fearful of what in that very mo-
ment may be happening to those whom they
love; men and women at sea, waiting it were
for the explosion of torpedoes; or even men and
women in immediate physical safety, wondering
what effect the war is going to have on their
incomes and their lives. great fear has
stricken the world, and it is little wonder if out
of this fear there have emerged pestilences and
diseases which have mounted on the winds of
fear, and scattered their seeds in every direc-
tion
In such circumstances what would it be ex--
pected that Christian community should do?
Would it not, remembering the words of the
Bible that perfect love casteth out fear" be
to ask itself if there were not something amiss
with it's understanding of love powerless to
overcome fear? And should it not naturally
fling wider open the doors of its churches, con-
fident that in doing right, by worshipping Cod
i'll could touch it? Have Christian countries
so completely come to distrust the doctrines
they profess that the 91st Psalm is no longer
protection against fear and against disease,
against pestilence and against war ?-"He that

Relief From Stomach
Worries.
A Non-Alcoholic Highly Con-
centrated Iron Remedy.

The Reverend H. H. Norman,
Of Elizabeth City, N. c. wrote the
other day. Il suffered from in
digestion troubles for a long time
and must say it was hard to find
relief until | bought that first
bottle of Acid Iron Mineral, but
now | am able to perform duties
that before its use l had to almost
entirely abandon
People in all walks of life find
it hard to do their work when the
digestion is poor and system be-
comes under-nourished. The
bricklayer with high wages pre-
vailing often cannot get ahead
because of poor health. 1t is the
same with farmers who raise but
a fraction of the crop they could
if their health permitted harder
work.
Continuing his statement, this
minister said::- Finding so much
relief for myself / have bought
bottles of it for friends and they
too were relieved and strengthen
ed so want to recommend it to
all now asI think there is nothing
like it."
Acid Iron Mineral is the pro-
duct of a natural and truly
remarkable natural iron deposit

centrated and a great remedy for
