If this can be said of men who have been criminals, surely humanity is
not so vile as my "orthodox" correspondent would have me believe.
A "Christian" of that order ought to be put under restraint, and not
allowed to associate with mankind.
He carries a moral malaria with him, which poisons the air.
He suggests evil to minds which have not thought it.
He is a dangerous hypnotist, while pretending to be a disciple of
Christ.
The man who believes that all men are vicious, selfish and immoral is
_projecting pernicious mind stuff_ into space, which is as dangerous to
the peace of the community as dynamite bombs.
The world has been kept back too long by this false, unholy and
blasphemous "religion."
It is not the religion of Christ--it is the religion of ignorant
translators, ignorant readers.
Thank God, its supremacy is past. A wholesome and holy religion has
taken its place with the intelligent progressive minds of the day, a
religion which says: "I am all goodness, love, truth, mercy, health. I
am a necessary part of God's universe. I am a divine soul, and only
good can come through me or to me. God made me, and He could make
nothing but goodness and purity and worth. I am the reflection of all
His qualities."
This is the "new" religion; yet it is older than the universe. It is
God's own thought put into practical form.
Common Sense
If you are suffering from physical ills, ask yourself if it is not your
own fault.
There is scarcely one person in one hundred who does not over eat or
drink.
I know an entire family who complain of gastric troubles, yet who keep
the coffee pot continually on the range and drink large quantities of
that beverage at least twice a day.
No one can be well who does that. Almost every human ailment can be
traced to foolish diet.
Eat only two meals in twenty-four hours. If you are not engaged in
active physical labor, make it one meal. Drink two or three or four
quarts of milk at intervals during the day to supply good blood to the
system.
You will thrive upon it, and you will not miss the other two meals
after the first week.
And your ailments will gradually disappear.
Meantime, if you are self-supporting, your bank account will increase.
Think of the waste of money which goes into indigestible food! It is
appalling when you consider it. Heaven speed the time when men and
women find out how little money it requires to sustain the body in good
health and keep the brain clear and the eye bright!
The heavy drinker is to-day looked upon with pity and scorn. The time
will come when the heavy eater will be similarly regarded.
Once find the delight of a simple diet, the benefit to body and mind
and purse, and life will assume new interest, and toil will be robbed
of its drudgery, for it will cease to be a mere matter of toiling for a
bare existence.
