WITHOUT normal nerve func-
ton we cannot have normal
health. Until this fact is realized
by the masses, millions will be
seeking health in vain. The nerve
line is the health line. When any.
thing goes wrong with that line.
vitality is lowered and disease is
invited.
In a previouss article, the net
work of human nerves was
shown to be like an electric grid
system. Over the nerve lines
flows a special kind of energy
which activates and regulates ev'
cry part of the body, just as cleo
tricity races over wires to make
the wheels 60 round" In the
article mentioned above it was
pointed out that pressure or ten
sion at any point will disturb the
normal work of the nerves and
will, therefore, mark the pegln
ming of i'll health.
But freedom from pressure and
tension is not enough to assure
normal nerve function. Nerves
are human tissue and therefore
must be nourished. Their nour
ishment is supplied by the blood
Through a vast network of small
arteries to blood stream feeds
| the nerves-just as it nourishes
other parts of the body-with
food, materials picked up from
the stomach and intestines and
with oxygen taken from air cells
in the lungs.
| Endlessly this blood stream
flows, for endlessly the nerves
are at work. Day and night the
nerve lines carry their load Of
vital energy, even to the most
remote parts of the body. Ever
during sleep, although they are
less active, the nerves carry on
All through the night they regu
late the heartbeat and keep the
lungs and other vital organs
working while the body refreshes
itself with sleep. Never for
moment, during the whole spar
of life, does the heart cease tt
beat. The blood, with it's cargo Of
life-giving food, flows ceaselessly
to all body tissues and nerves.

Good Blood, Nerves, and Health

But let us not think that mere
ly a constant supply of blood is
sufficient. Normal nerve function
depends on the quality of the
blood. If the blood is deficient in
necessary vitamins and minerals,
the nerves will be undernourish.
ed and therefore will be unable
to do their normal work. The
machinery of the body is run by
the nervous system, but the ner.
vous system can work efficiently
only when it is supplied with
good rich blood.
This brings us to the very i'm.
portant matter of diet. The quail.
| ity of the blood that circulates
in our bodies depends largely on
the kind of food we eat. If the
food is poor in quality, the blood
will be poor in quality. The body
cannot magically produce gooc
blood from poor food. So, correct
diet is essential to the manufac.
ture of good, red blood, which is
essential to normal nerve func.
ton, which in turn is essential
to normal health.
We are dealing here with the
fundamentals of good health. A
body with all of its nerve lanes
open and with it's arteries filled
with pure nutritious blood, has
high natural resistance to di.
sease. In such a body disease
germs have little chance. But
when nerves are cramped and
blood is weak, resistance goes
down and the body invitess di.
sease.
Health is freedom from di.
sease. 1t is the cherished posses.
sion of those whose vitality is
high. And vitality high only
when the blood is rich and the
nerves are free.
Normal nerve function can be
assured by correction of any
postural distortions and restor
ing the mechanical integrity of
the human body.
When the nerve system is work.
ing smoothly, unhampered eth.
err by mental or physical hazards,
the answer is buoyant health.

MINUTE SERMON

When the early Scotch settlers
came up the Cape Fear River
they stopped at a creek above
what is now Ellington and held
a barbecue. The creek was from
then on called Barbecue Creek.
In 1857 they organized a church
there and it was called Barbecue
Presbyterian Church. Yesterday
it was my privilege to help in the
installation of a new pastor in
that congregation which is now

They have remodeled and mod.
ernized the building recently and
are planning to celebrate their
200th anniversary in 1857. They
are the oldest church, still wor-
shipping in the same location of
any Presbyterian Church in this
I area. There is a hallowedness
about an historic old church.
Men may come and men may 60
but the church abides. The house
of worship comes to stand for
the fellowship of men and Wo
men who through the years have
turned to faith in God and His

In the epistle to Timothy, the
Apostle Paul speaks of "the
house of God, which is the church
of the living God, the pillar and
ground of the truth" Il Tim

verses he recorded what is one
of the most ancient summaries
of the Christian faith about
Jesus Christ:

Preached among the nations,
Believed on in the world,
