 The human nervous system baffles science and defies control. all students
 of anatomy discover that. They also discover that civilization and enlighten- ment have increased nerve sensativeness
 immeasurably. Indeed, they prophecy ruin to the human family unless people will slow down in the dizzy whirl of present day living. It is too much, and will lead to an overthrow of reason and
 collapse of vitality. We are driving these cars of life too fast, and every body is speed crazy. We would do well to call halt on ourselves and stop and see where we really are, and where we are going. Each individual should try to put on restraint and listen to calm reas- or before we go too far. Nerve sensativeness has increased with civilization, because civilization is the science of harmonious life developed from intelligent progress in the growth or higher ideals and more just and equitable living, which expresses in higher nerve vibration than the old low ideals of sell fshness and injustice Civilization is war between high and low ideals with a gradual triumph of the high, and a balancing of public sentiment about the high. God is love, and as He Is the great vibratory center from which emi- mates the current that flows through the
  and most rapid vibration is called love. that can express through man. That vibration emanates from God and enters the sensitive receiver in the soul or man unconsciously to man.
 The Bible says love is the fulfilling of the law" We can readily see how it can be the fulfilling of the law of life, because it is the attainment of the high est spiritual vibration capable Sf finding expression on the earth through the spirit and nerve system of intelligent man. The great vibratory current that flows through the temple of life has been appropriated by human beings in a meager, dwarf way, because they would not use the key to the temple Also the time had not arrived for the doors to be thrown wide open.
 The key to the temple is willing ser vice to God and humanity; a desire to grow in that service is the cup from which we drink the vitalizing current of abundant life. Christ was the personif1ca- tion of love, service and sacrifice; there fore He became the door to the temple of life We must enter by the door. II am come that ye might have life, and that we might have it more abundantly." He became the example and vitalizer of service that regenerates the forces of being.
 Selishness arS1 injustice are the direct results of low spiritual vibrations. They are the sins that destroy, because they defeat the object of creation by hold ing down to low, coarse vibrations the soul that is called to grow in the like ness of God that it may keep con- scious company with Him. The strug- gle of the high vibrations to overcome the low manifest itself in ferment, con- fusion and unrest, possibly pain and se- were trial, but to those who are really growing it is only growing pains, and triumph is ahead. Rejoice, heed not the surface storms, for all is well beneath to those who are sincere.
 The earth is a school where discordant souls are learning the lessons of har- mony, that they may join in the glorious music of the universe of love. The dis appointment and grief of the great teach- CT is told through the whole Bible, and is poorly expressed in terms of jealousy and hatred which carry the thought Of revenge for God hath no pleasure in the death of the wicked,' yet ''1e is angry with the wicked every day" He is grieved and disappointed that His school children are not learning the lessons for which they entered the school. and without which they cannot rise upon His plane They are chaining themselves TO low ideals for a passrng gain, and de- feating the object of being. The promise
 
 it should pass beyond the reach of dis cord; that it should roll out into perfect peace, joy and love at an appointed time, and that every vicious, selfish, destroy- ing thing should pass from it's surface when the earth rolls under the full blaze of the glory of God. The vibrations of the planet will be so high and the vibra tions of ether so high that the low vii brations of vicious centers will break and crash beneath them. Those people whose vibrations are low and coarse, because they have refused to raise them. cannot continue. Apparently they cannot breath any more.
 The present great unrest bespeaks a struggle of contending vibrations of very unusual proportions, which may prove to be the time for the passing of the planet into it's new appointed realm of high vibration. It is appointed to pass through a ferment of ideas, controversy and peace covenants, social and material con- vulsions when the low vibrations will be transformed into high vibrations in the body of the planet. The nerve centers e man will be operated upon by the con- fusion and turmoil of conflicting vibra- tons striking them with such force that those people who are not prepared will be swept off their balance by the pass ing commotion as the earth quakes and reels under it's effort to throw off the forcaS of evil or low yihratiOn To me
