Here is what he said once to
his friend Arrian:
"YOU ARE A DISTINCT POR-

ignorant Of your noble birth?
When you are in the company or

god you exercise? YOU CARRY
A GOD ABOUT WITH YOU,

''But that's religious stun, !"
you say. And I'm not interested
in religion"
Epictetus wasn't interested In
RELIGION, either, IN the sense you
mean. He was an old pagan-it
Is doubtful II he ever heard OF
Christ. But he had heard Of life
---he had felt Life tingtlng through
his flesh. flooding through his
spirit. He felt an immenae. re-
spect and reverence for life-a
craving for its beauty and adven.

SECRETS OF

albumen may be the result Of q
