Man. 



The possibilities of improvement are unlimited. 

 More than ever before does it seem that Christ's 

 words are to be realized and that the truth shall 

 make us free. 



Man is a soul developing in a physical organ- 

 ism. As long as he resides in this organism, he is 

 limited by it. His life, freedom and conscious 

 thoughts are all determined by the "house in 

 which he lives." Every man isjmilding for him- 

 self a prison cell or a palace wall As he builds 

 his brain, so will be his mental powers and moral 

 tendencies. Physiological psychology explains 

 why the thoughts of today become the dreams of 

 tonight, the actions of tomorrow and the character 

 of the -future. 



It takes time and frequent repetition of a given 

 thought, impulse, passion or sentiment to establish 

 a strong brain area, but when such a physical 

 basis once becomes established it requires great 

 effort and training to change the character and 

 rebuild the brain so that it will readily express 

 the changed conditions of the mind. 



Educators and reformers have too long ignored 

 ^ ie physical basis of mind and morals. No man 

 whose youth has been spent in idleness, whose 

 brain has not been trained by definite thinking, 

 can suddenly become a close observer or a clear 

 reasoner. No man who has for years built his 

 brain on the plane of animality and passion, to the 

 neglect of his moral sentiments, can give expres- 

 sion to a pure life and noble character by merely 

 willing to do so. If his brain has been wrongly 

 constructed, he will realize what Paul meant when 

 he said, "When I would do good, evil is present 

 with me."
