While exercising the muscles of the body simultaneously, we are not only acquiring grace and suppleness, but we are strengthening the various muscles and enabling them to develop along the lines of their natural curves. By a systematic training, the surface of the body becomes filled or rounded out, all angularity disappears, and the various muscles work or slide smoothly over one another and each one fits into the proper place without a jar or wrinkle. Even the face may be trained to the avoidance of wrinkles and seams by a trifle of exercise applied to the muscles. The main point being to prevent any muscular habit which means a wrinkle or a seam. Massage alone may do some good in this respect, but the muscles of the face should be worked through the will power. In line with exterior physical development, the interior muscles should not be forgotten. The proper play of the interior muscles, those belonging to the heart, the lungs, the intestines, stomach, etc., are all more or less affected by exterior exercises tending toward physical development. Flabbiness of exterior begets flabbiness of the interior muscles, and this means an imperfect action which ends in inability to resist disease, or the encroachments of age and hardening of the walls of the arteries. Movement is the law of nature and whatever does not or can not move is considered dead to the scientists, or on the way to death. Every atom of the human body is in motion toward the maintenance of life in the muscles of every kind. The blood circulates rapidly, so rapidly that any perfumed substance injected into the blood at a finger point, is immediately tasted by the mouth. So with the lymph channels which convey nourishment to the blood for distribution to all the muscles to keep them up to their work. The billions of atoms that constitute the flesh of the muscles and of the nerves, are in constant motion, without which, the body would lose all energy and become inert. By exercising the muscles constantly and uniformly, we are giving the atoms of the human system free and full play, and enabling them to perform their functions. We may indeed say, that exercise and physical development mean LIFE. THE TEACHER, DOCTOR, LAWYER, CLERGYMAN—WHICH ARE YOU FITTED FOR? There are four professions, callings or vocations, which are justly styled “learned professions,” because they carry with them the highest degree of intelligence, tact, and wisdom. They are so common, however, in these modern times, that many of their followers do not command the respect to which their calling is entitled, and hence, the professions themselves have greatly fallen into disrepute; particularly so when it comes to select one of them for a life work. Viewing the teacher, the doctor, the lawyer, and the clergyman from the common standpoint, there is no money in the professions.
