creator to the same purposes consequently they are differently organised organized sed when I 1 each one fills the sphere allotted them it is not I 1 e to see what fault there can be in their head every one to his own proper calling and avocation i even different diffie rent prophets have different diffie rent I 1 I 1 keys of authority the spirit of god rested 4 upon sampson in order that he might work deliverance y for israel by his great strength and daring he waxed valiant in fight and was a mighty and terrific avenger of the oppressed ile he was raised up for a definite purpose and fulfilled the designs of his organization another ali r person equally worthy was led by the same spirit to a course of widely different yet perfectly answered tle the design esig of his organization niza tion now shill we not conclude that different organizations may be equally perfect son your reasoning has a plausible appear a nee nce it seems to sustain the principle of divi sion of labor such as is adopted in tories and in different trades and mechanical pursuits greater perfection is arrived at in each trade by this division of labor or according to the old adage he ache who is jack at all trades is master of none F yes my son you get my idea in part very clearly and have illustrated satis I 1 I 1 I 1 facto rily bt bijl there is astill deeper principle that I 1 wish you to perceive and comprehend clearly I 1 want you to understand my son one radical and immutable law or principle and that is that exercise e has the same relation to perfection that an ancient celebrated orator seid that action action action had to eloquence if I 1 am asked what makes the brain perfect I 1 ar answer lower exercise exercise EXERCISE E I 1 S but my father do not peoples brains get turned and woefully deranged by exercise ei arcise sometimes so that they are wholly unfitted for any useful service 1 F I 1 would not like to say yes to your question because I 1 should not tell you the whole truth by such an answer neither would I 1 like to say no to your question because aliat might seem to contradict facts and leave you in doubt when I 1 say that exercise makes a perfect brain I 1 mean the due exercise of the whole brain or of 1 all ail the organs and functions of the brain now one org organ of the brain may be exercised to ex excess cess and the other organs left so idle an and I 1 dormant that the idle argi organs will perish for want of exercise and I 1 the autive active organs will perish from exhaustion exhaust iop and excessive fatigue but when they ahey are all duly exercised there can be no such thing as derangement i but a wise man is no respecter of organs A he does not pamper one and famish all the 16 others but there are many cases of monomania in which such homicidal deeds are committed corn commit gilted milted teA one man has a mania for mathematics a another obber for poet poetry ry and a third for religion they make inake dwarfs of some organs organ and giants of others but their giants are always sickly and their dwarfs always co contemptible nt tible some persons are wholly devoted to study but 7 I 1 the I 1 organs of amusement are strangled and murdered in cold blood others reverse this and stultify and extinguish the last flickering light of reason some cultivate in organs and even discharge many moral functions to their fellow man but cut asunder the great artery of communication from the heavens this bausis causes the worst and most incurable species of deran geme it that can becal mortality A wise man has said thit that there is a time to all things but some people can never find time for anything but theis their own favorite pursuit everything else must musi tie be sacrificed to that the spiritual epi ritual organs which are a part of the brain as much as any other organs should be brought into continued exercise because they are the elementary prompters of all the other organs which are are reckoned bipire by some to amount 0 to o three hundred and seventy five in number these organs need to be cultivated strengthened and refined so as to become exquisitely alive to all the th du duties aes of their indish indispensable e office they I 1 should constitute nati tute the governing motive power oi of the man it is not only the prerogative of the spiritual organs to hold intimate intercourse with the he heavens ravens bodif botn sleeping and waking but bat also I 1 to control and set bounds to the organs of sensuality as well as to morality and intellectuality elect lect ity X due preponderance anee of these organs me carding according to their relative importance has indro into the third hett heavens vens and secured information of the highest order for all practical and useful par purposes

darkness could be brought upon the earth earda and gross d darkness ex k tie 0 5 upon the he people it was necessary to dissolve a all 1 1 intercourse with the heavens and close the eyes of the understanding and consign the organs or of spirituality to idleness until like the roving raving maniac they would start from their lethargy after the worship of other gods or bowing down to objects of vanity 1 I S Is this the i eason why so many emperors and kings and diviners dividers div iners and soothsayers in this I 1 dark age profess to receive great revelations from supernatural powers F precisely the same my son from the year and day chat that th the angel eangel of light discovered these organs and their legitimate office in hold jag ing intercourse with thi the heavens and exerting an omnipotent sway among the inhabitants of the earth from that same time the complete perversion if not extinction of these faculties has I 1 been zealously sought for I 1 to be continued |
