manner such remarkable results fol
low it's correct application.
The human body is an intricate
machine, made up of bones, blood,
tissues and nerves. The bones form
a framework, levers and extensions,
upon which : is placed the flesh.
These bones and the flesh thereon
go through a continual process of up
building and tearing down as long as
there is life in the body. This is ac-
complished through the circulation of
the blood.
AS long as the building-up pro.
ceeds faster than the tearing down,
the body grows Then we reach
middle age, when the process of
building and tearing down is equal;
and old age only begins when the
tearing down process begins to get a
little ahead of the building.
But there is surely some govern
/ ing power over these processes; some
higher power that holds a watchful
eye over the trading going on be-
an engine without governor. the
/ body would literally run away" IL it
was without a governor, but this is
marvellously provided for through
the Nervous System.
The Nervous System is prolonga-
tion--an extension-of the most won
derful mechanism in the world-the
Human Mind. Its seat is in the
Brain, protected by the bony struc-
ture known as the Skull. 1t is the
King of the body, the ruler of the
World. Through our wakeful hours
we are governed by that function OF
the brain known as Conscious
Though, while asleep the function OF
Sub-Conscious mind is exercised the
same as when awake. Sub-conscious
mind never sleeps. 1t is the Storage
Battery of the Body, Mind and Soul
Nerve-foree, therefore. we find to
be absolutely essential to the life of
the body. If totally destroyed, even
for the fractional part of second
death is the result. Narcotic drugs
used to "deaden" the Nerves, really
only paralyze temporarily our Con.
cious knowledge of pain, yet the pain
exists and is recorded by the Sub
Conscious Mind just the same.
We may liken the Body to a great
Manufacturing Plant that is self
contained and self-suporting. All IL
needs is fuel (food) and water. The
fuel first enters the MILL (mouth)
and mixed with certain fluids made
possible by the use of water, and then
is carried to the stomach. Here the
blood begins the absorption of that
part of the food it needs, and the
rest passes through the bowels and
the body as waste.
Every organ of the body has one OF
more functions to perform, and in
health we rarely give them much
thought AS long as they are in tune
and properly governed, we are al
ease.
"Dis-"ease is the opposite of ease
or health. 1t is brought about by
our violating in some way or other
one or more of Natures laws. Ma
| ture is law. Gods law, law mex
orable. We may violate man-made
laws and go unpublished, but Nature
law-NEVER. The Bible has di
rected-pointed the way to Health
for Centuries but alas. SO few obey
that part of the Great Book which
deals with the Physical side of life
We are told to keep our temple
+, (body) holy (clean and whole) and
that we are sparks of Divine life
and that the Spirit of God dwells In
us. We are told what to eat as food
and what to shun. We are informed
as to clothing, eating, fasting and
exercise. We are warned to be tenn
lperate in ALL things.
But, come what may, most of Us
are heedlesss of the warnings given
We sin, and sickness follows. Many
take medicine, and hope to overcome
an action brought on by Nature
God. They seek ease by the shor
route But medicine, Drugs, are blu
a Brazen Image they are Idols OF
those who fail to understand. HI
who takes Medicine must have faitf
in it's power, or he would never takt
it. Its use indicates that the takel
has more faith in man made Law
than in Gods.
l want you to read your bible an6
| think just a little on this subject
You will find that Fig leaves, mud
and spittle were used as healing
agents. You will find that the laying
on of hands and repentance were the
chief methods of healing in the
time of Christ You will find thai
I there is no agreement of the body
with Idols. e. Cor. 6:16) How Wa
are healed, Romans S:11:24-5-6. There
must be agreement between two oil
more, st. Mathew 1S:19-20. Chris
instructed his disciples in the art o.
healing-laying on of hands. We are
informed in various places in this
Bible, that certain people are gifted
with the art of healing. Read Isl
ICor. 1928 And we are warned tina
lif we know how TO do good and dc
