FIFTY-SECOND ANNUAL CONVENTION 175 



I am not saying that there is not infectious abortion 

 because there is, and it is very prevalent, but it is at least 

 an assisting cause in bringing that condition about. 



Now why has the sunlight any relation there? Why 

 not feed more minerals? Simply for this reason: you can 

 take a dairy cow and feed her all the mineral in the world. 

 You can take your own children and feed them all the 

 mineral feeds in the world, such as the girls here this week 

 have been telling you about, spinach and carrots and eggs 

 and milk and everything in the world that you want to 

 feed that child, and keep her inside, and that child will 

 have ricketts. That child will become bowlegged, have 

 large joints, be stunted, undersize, undeveloped. Why? 

 Simply because the human system has not the ability to 

 assimilate minerals without the presence of an activating 

 agent. What is that activating agent? It is known tech- 

 nically as the ultra-violet ray of sunlight; so all you need 

 to do to make your children grow is to fill them full of 

 mineral-carrying feed, then take that child out in God's free 

 sunlight and let the sunlight shine upon that child's body. 

 The bloodstream being loaded with minerals, it activates 

 that in the same way and causes those minerals to be de- 

 posited upon the skeleton of the body. As a result, a good, 

 big, strong, straight skeleton is built and constitutional 

 vigor is carried on through life. 



Now with the dairy cow you keep her inside and de- 

 prive her of the activating agent of sunlight, I care not 

 what you feed, that cow will gradually rob her skeleton in 

 the making of the product that nature has bred her to pro- 

 duce and as a result she will break down frequently, either 

 in low milk production, the elimination of the foetus or the 

 general breaking down in the skeleton, as you see in older 

 cows so often, which is the by-product of poor management 

 ninety-nine times out of a hundred. What are you going 

 to do? 



Build more windows along the barn so that your cow 

 can get that sunlight. If you do, remember this one thing: 

 ordinary window glass is made from silica, and whenever 

 sunlight passes through glass it filters out that wave known
