If there are worlds other than OuI
own. why are they not mentioned or
| referred to in the Bible. which is
presumably an inspired book?
| The Bibles inspiration seldom APP
pears to better advantage than when
it does refer to other worlds than
ours. Supreme as it is in literary and
ethical characteristics, its spiritual
! lied imagination surpasseS these In
insight and power. 1t has peopled the
| spaces around us with living and
| energetic beings God Himself. Christ
| the angels and the spirits of the de
| parted are visualized and described by
| the writer's of Holy Scriptures with
| a vividness which arrests the atten-
ton of both civilized and unciviliZed
| nations.
The stars and planets are hymned
| by the psalmists and mentioned by
| apostles as inanimate monuments of
the Creators glory, reserved for His
| purposes and subordinate 10 the re-
demptive scheme. st. Paul declares
that the whole natural creation Ian
guishes and travails until that re-
| demptiOn is accomplished, Study the
passag es indicated before you assume
| that the Bibles relation to the visible
! or invisible cosmos is so limited.

1 am in constant fear that some

| one of my loved ones or myself l
| fear sickness. death. the hereafter.
! insanity, suicide, business reverses,
etc. l frequently find myself think

execution, and sometimes ] involun-
| tarily go through the motion Of stab
bling myself.
If / had cause for any of these
mental distresses | would not bother
you with my trouble. / am not in
debt, / own my own home. have a
good position, a splendid wife and
four healthy and Obedient children.
Your answer may be that l am
just plain fool and should be happy
and contented. all Of which l admit,
but | hope you will advise me how to
Danish the awful fear with which |
am possessed
In the last analysis. my question is:
Is there any hope for my cure?
Yes, your case is durable if YOU
have correctly described it, and the
first step in the cure is to assure
yourself Of its possibility. You may
find it difficult at first to reconcile
your confident belief in a cure with
the wretched feelings that come upon
you. But after a time the belief will
begin to prevail. and then the path
to health will be easier. Manifestly
your physical health is prejudiced by
your obsessive fears: hence these
should be fathomed and dispersed To
secure this desirable result ii would
be necessary to know when and how
the fears originated, whether after n
mental shock or crisis subsequently to
Il severe Illness, OF as the result of an
excessive strain period in business.
Find the answers to these and SIM
lar questions and you are likely to get
on the track of that thing in this way.
When you trace a fear to it's lair you
can generally exterminate it. If you
discover that the obsession synchro-
nizes with q breakdown some years
! ago the way is then clear. Begin TO
| rebuild your health ignore fear al
! together: plunge afresh into business
| affairs and home life and finally YOU
! will wonder that you should ever have
/ had an anxious moment. Consult a
| good physician. one who knows the
| mind as well as the body, and faith
