A promise sweet is mine today. This promise Truth has given to me - I will not "fold my hands and wait," Nor will I wait for time or fate; I'll wrest from nature what is mine. The heights and depths that I may reach- I will not stop to question why, Yes, all is mine of Love and Truth I'll take my staff, and I will climb -C. P. P. HOW TO GET HEALTH. C B. REYNOLDS, There is but one power. Man, in a degree, is that power; he invokes more of it, and directs it through the channels of wisdom or ignorance. Man, the universe, and the invisible, are different degrees of that power. When directed through wisdom, it speeds on errands of love, peace, joy. When directed through ignorance, it operates in hate, discord, sorrow. That power is changeless, always good, always true, through its channel of wisdom or ignorance. It lays the valley in war, bloodshed and carnage, or it vivifies it in vegetation, bloom and foliage. These things are the coming forth of that power at the call of man, We invoke a phase of that power named electricity, and in wisdom we send a message by wire; or in ignorance we electrocute a man or throw a car of human freight into the canyon to destruction and death. The direction of the former we call good, the latter we name bad. The volcano sending forth lava, that cloud sending forth showers, are but agents of that power unconsciously directed by man. "All power is given to me." We take it and send it crashing through cannon, rifle and mine to eliminate a race of men; or through art, science and industry to elevate man. That one power is good. A field of desolation (the product of war), or a race high in art and the fruits of peace, are but the different modes of Good power as directed by man, We invoke this power from the invisible, and our direction of it is all around us in the visible. We are the instruments by which the invisible appears in the universe, Jesus calmed the storm; Judas renewed the conflict, Power, like the rain, falls on the just and unjust, ignorant and wise, alike. "Whatever thing ye desire, ye shall have it." We take the power by desire, as a babe takes the razor in ignorance or the man in wisdom with results corresponding. The beauty or homeliness of a human face is through the direction of this power. Life or death A is the result of the different directions of good. boil, tumor or cancer is as active with this power as is the glow of health upon the face of virtue. Peter cut off the ear, Christ made the ear to be again, both by the one power, This power is not good for man when misdirected. The glutton eats the good to his destruction. The drunkard drinks the good to his death. The tyrant takes the good to his and his kingdom's desolation. Power is that substance in which is contained everything. In it is the thing we call mathematics. We desire this principle; through the channel of wisdom we receive it, and the result of our calculations is just. If through ignorance we take it, our life becomes a deep, dark chamber, in which is neither ornament nor order. We all remember how we called for the multiplication table and how we got it. Some have it in error, and some have it in truth. All can have it in truth, that is, all can learn that 8x8-64, and it does not equal 23. All things are taken from power as you took from it the multiplication table, by repeating its truths to yourself till they become so fixed in you that to separate you from it is impossible. That thing we call health is in power. It comes by making love, peace, joy, a part of ourself in the same way till separation is impossible. Health is simply love, peace, joy, showing forth in the body, like mathematics in the multiplication table, appearing in your thought, word and action. It is as simple to get health as it is to acquire the multiplication table. You "ask, seek, find." This One Power is God. Showing forth the multiplication table or showing forth health is showing forth God. Το know the multiplication table, or health, or yourself, is to know God, for these things are one. To know |
