O,d.r from GRANT'S FAITH CLINICBox 353, Dallos . TQXOS

They say that anyone that goes to a psychiatristneeds his head examined. That is not always true.People go to a psychiatrist about 90 per-cent of thetime when they should not have gone. They could goto a friend, their parents, their minister or figurethings out for themselves.Itis very easy to make yourself believe that you are

not normal. Mr. A went to a psychiatrist because hewas not concentrating. He was told that there was no-thing wrong with his mind except it was just tired.He knew that already. He could have figured that outwithout going to a psychiatrist.

Mr. A. had been getting too little sleep. He had keptirregular hours. This made his body not function nor-mally. He also had a system-poisoning due to tobacco,alcohol and tranquilizers. He had not been gettingenough fresh air, recreation, or exercise.

His mind was tired. He was normal, because a tiredmind will shut off new impressions.

When Mr. A. corrected his faulty way of living, hissymptoms disappeared.

Mrs. B. went to a physician complaining of a poormemory.

She found that her mind was shutting out new im-pressions. It was tired. Nature was preventing herfrom having a nervous mental breakdown.

A physician assured her that no one ever lost hismind because of bad memory or poor concentration.The physician assured her that she was normal. Shefelt much better.

Mrs. C. had a feeling that nothing was real. Shewas frightened. She felt like she was dreaming or look-ing through a mist all of the time. She was surprisedwhen a physician told her she had a very normal mind.

She did not need to go to a psychiatrist. She knewwhat was wrong all the time. She was trying to escapereality. She had suffered a severe disappointment in alove affair. She had told herself if she could not have

SHORT CIRCUITSthe one she wanted, she would never be interested manybody or anything. This was only nature acting toprotect her mind from being overworked.You may not like your job or you may not find a

job. You may have circumstances that you can't face.You don't see clearly the path ahead. What is yourreason for wanting to withdraw from reality?Mrs. D. believed that she was going insane. She

went to a psychiatrist. She first told him; then he toldher. She told her troubles all of the time. She wantedto go insane to escape her troubles.If you will search yourself and find what it is that

you are trying to run away from, the fear of insanitywill disappear. You will just have to get rid of the fear.No insane person fears that he is going insane. Ifyou fear that you are going insane, that proves that

you are not already insane. If you were headed towardinsanity, you would not fear it.Mrs. E. lies awake all night. She can not sleep. She

went to a psychiatrist. After she told him her troubles,he told her. She knew all the time.After searching herself she found what was trying

to keep her awake. She did not have the proper per-ception in her home.Your brain will take a lot of punishment before it

gives out. You are strong. You can resist these foolishideas. You can break the hold of the devil; resist him,and he will flee from you,If you are a Christian you have power to resist all

of these things, (Acts 1:8; Luke 10:19).It could be that all of these troubles come to youbecause you have a guilt complex. If this is true thenremember, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful andjust to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from allunrigh teo usness."We can trade the worried, natural mind for the mind

of Christ. We can be a new creature in Christ Jesus.All things can become new.

There are three things that may deplete your nerves,and pull down your energy as a short circuit pullsdown a battery.The first one is worry. We may look at worry ashaving both good points and bad points. Worry is ahealthy instinct if it is used right.For instance, a woman is worried about her husbnad.She is afraid that she may lose him. This can be usedfor a good purpose. Itmay cause her to take a bath,change her clothes, fix her hair; it may cause her toshow her husband more affection and stop nagginghim continuously.She may act in a certain way that will cause herhusband to fall in love with her allover again. Thiskind of worry may be necessary.Most worry is unfounded. If you are worrying oversomething that you can't help, then you are depletingyour nerves and pulling down your energy.Thousands of people become worried about some-

thing that is not important. They take their problemsto a psychiatrist when they can solve their own.Some people worry over their schoolwork, school-

mates, or they worry because they want their own way.Some worry about finding the right mate. Othersworry over relatives, deaths, security, disappointments,loneliness, and jealousy.All this kind of worry will play havoc with yournerves. Ulcers are a common result. Then follows heart

troubles, artery trouble, headaches, tenseness of mus-cles, indigestion, kidney upsets, and nervous exhaus-tion.You may have nervous disorders mental trouble,poor memory, bad concentration, depression, suppres-sion, loss of appetite, or an irritable disposition.Many people may worry themselves to death. if the

Lord would heal some people of these troubles, theywould continue to worry and be in their original con-dition in just a few days.Why not get healed of your worries"! You should

casting all of your troubles on Him. He cares for you.Be anxious for nothing. Believe that all things worktogether for good to them that pray, (Romans 8:26-30) .

Worry is only a point of view. Change your point ofview. It is not the condition of things, but the condi-tion of you.

The wrong use of sex pulls down your energy,depletes your nerves, and causes you to have a guiltcomplex that you cannot overcome. Many people deli-berately violate their conscience, teachings, their prin-ciples.

They are stimulated by alchohol, bad books, movies,television programs, smutty stories, and impurethoughts.If you are healed and do not control this God-given

normal impulse, you will likely be sick again in a fewdays.

Guilt will also deplete the nerves. There is a rightkind of guilt, and there is a wrong kind of guilt. Ifyour conscience smites you because you have deliber-ately walked into sin, then you know exactly what to do.

There is only one route. Right the wrong. Makethings right with your Maker. Make things right withyour neighbor. As long as you have unconfessed sins,you will likely be sick again even if you happened tobe healed. .

Turn to Him that forgives all of your iniquities andheals all of your diseases.

Some people have a guilt complex because they havecondemned themselves. After the Lord forgives them,they refuse to forgive themselves. This uneasiness andanxiety makes a short circuit that makes them sinkand lays them low.

Why not have a frank, honest heart-to-heart withyourself. Figure out if you have grounds for self-condemna tion.

Forgive yourself. Control yourself. Don't do anything .that will produce guilt. Be sure the Lord has forgivenyou. Then don't condemn yourself anymore. If the Lordhas done something for you, then you should begin todo something for others.

MENTAL POWERA young ball player went into the World Series. He

was tense and rigid. He tried his very best. He knewthat 75,000 people were looking at him. He tried hardbut failed. He lost the game.

Another young man wearing glasses started to pitchthe ball in the same World Series. He took his owngood time. He was relaxed as if he were playing onthe lawn back at home. He was not thinking of makinga name for himself. He was not trying to get applause.He was not endeavoring to get his name in the paper.He was thinking of his team instead of himself.

As 75,000 people anxiously waited and watched, hecalmly took off his glasses as the boy at bat grew moretense. He slowly wiped his glasses. All of the ChicagoCubs fanned out; the game was over!

Someone made the remark that all the players shouldwear glasses, take them off and clean them, and wastetime.It was not the glasses. It was the calm spirit thathelped the boy to work relaxed.

How did the boy receive this calm and quiet spiritin the tenseness that gripped the whole nation? Hedid not think of himself. He just knew how to relaxhis mind and his body, so he could draw on the Higherpower.

Some people are tense while they are praying. Theythink only of themselves instead of others. They praya "Gimme, Gimme" prayer. They are selfish. Theynever pray until they are in need, or in serious trouble.Then they come to the Lord complaining about howthey have been treated. They come telling about whata hard time they have. They do all the talking andnever let the Lord do any talking at all. They tell Godinstead of letting God tell them.

We must come into His presence with thanksgiving.We are created to worship. God is everywhere. TnHimwe live, move, and have our being.

Most people are so tense that they are tired beforeW. V. Grant P. O. Box 353 Dallas 21, TexasSend postage for free book,How To Keep Calm and Cool In Crisis.

they begin. They drive seventy-five miles per hour tobeat a train across the track. They get a speeding ticketon their way to play golf; going to a quiet place to re-lax, they carry their portable radio with them. Theyget angry when they hear on the news what is takingplace in politics, because their party is not winningthe election.

At one time J thought I was not praying unless ]was on my knees saying words. I used to go to sleepwhile praying. 1 would become, angry with myself.Then I decided to go ahead and sleep. Thousands ofpeople can't sleep. He gives His beloved sleep.

In the back of my grocery store or at the house lyingacross the bed, I would sleep five minutes. I wouldawake relaxed with plenty of energy. I was alert as Ilay there under God's power. The solution to an im-portant problem would come to me. I would know whatto do about a car or real estate deal.

As a ball player we can worked relaxed. High ten-sion causes the number one trouble in America. Ameri-cans have too much expression on their face. They gowith every nerve and action. Americans even inventrocking chairs so they can go while they are sitting.

Overseas 1 noticed that those foreigners lay downand relaxed fOI" an hour or two in the afternoon. Theynever got in a hurry. If they can do that, why can't we?

Over half of the hospital patients in the nation suf-fer from mental trouble. Physicians know how to con-trol the germ-caused disease, but most of our troublesare because we do not relax. We must learn that Hewill keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayedupon Him.

One-fourth of the deaths of men over fifty is causedby high tension. These men do not take time to settle'one problem until they go to another. Their mindsnever relax. By faith in your Maker, you can maintaina constant inflow of energy just as an electric clockoperates by the constant contact with electric power.You can have an automatic renewal of this supern-natural power.

SELF APPRAISAL

W. V. Grant P. O. Box 353 Dallas 21. TexasSend postage for free book,How To Keep Calm and Cool In Crisis.

How immature are you? Do you have any puppy-wool? Are you given to temper-tantrums? Are yougiven to impulsiveness'? Have you laid aside peevish-ness, stubborness, pettiness, self-indulgence, boastful-ness, criticisms, oversensitiveness, self-pity, self- con-sciousness, timidity, or jealousy? Do you have a cryingspell? Do you want your own way? Are you too im-pulsive'? Do you go to any length to receive attention,praise, or recognition?

These childlike habits form a pattern in your lifethat effects your character, and undermines your suc-cess and happiness. Your entire nervous system can bebroken because of the wrong ethics and principles.

Sue could not make up her own mind. She was al-ways leaning on others. She moved quickly. She wasalways asking someone if she had on the right colorof dress or if she had her hair fixed just right.

One day Sue stopped and wrote out a long list of herthoughts. She took an inventory of the things that heldher in control. The things that she could not seem toovercome were in this list. There were too many ofthese thoughts. They were too long established andtoo firmly fixed in her life. She always depended on hermother even when she was grown. She wanted adviceand guidance from others and never made any de-cisions.

One day Sue decided that she was going to makesome decisions of her own and not depend on othersan of her life. .Suddenly she began to get a real thrill out of tack-ling her own problems - unaided by anyone. She brokeher backward attitude toward other people. Thesethings had been such a drawback to her. She was in < 1fight to overcome doubt and uncertainty. She startedtackling her troubles constantly and found that theydisappeared. She cut all the strings that had held herin bondage. Her success gave her courage to start inthe right direction. Her nervous system was strong.Her mental trouble was cured.We asked Sue what happened to her life and how she


6/18

came out of her shell. Here is the formula she gave US:Sue had read a verse which went like this:' "Let all

bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evilspeaking, be put away from you, with all malice; andbe ve kind one to another, tender hearted, forgivingone' another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgivenyou." She first wondered how she could do this. Shetried reading a book on positive thinking. That reallyhelped her, but at certain times an uncontrollable urgeovertook her - her base nature took advantage. Sheread another book telling how to have ethics and prin-ciples. All this helped her, but still she gave way tosomething within. This had been there from a child.This "something within" made her lose all self-controlat times. One day Sue read, "I can do all thingsthrough Christ which strengtheneth me." She memor-ized that verse and it helped - so she memorized an-other verse, "All things are possible to him that be-lieveth."

Suddenly she realized she was not in Christ. Al-thouzh she had been baptized when she was a baby,she realized she was not a believer. She believed withher mind, but could not seem to believe with her heart.She memorized another verse, "With the heart man be-lieveth unto righteousness." She read in one place thatyou must be born of the Spirit. That was the answer.She stayed in her bedroom all of the morning. She saw

.. that she could not do good within her own strength.She remained until she know she was born of theSpirit; she was in Christ. She came out of that rooma new creature. She was in a new world. All of the peo-ple she met saw the difference in her. Now it comesnatural for her to be unselfish. She can practice ethicsand principles, for she abides by a certain rule everyday. "All things whatsoever you would that men woulddo' unto you, do you even likewise unto them."

YOU HAVE POSSIBILITIES

W. V. Grant P. O. Box 353 Dallas 21, TexasSend postage for free book.

There is enough atomic power in you to blow NewYork City off the face of the earth. Yet some remaina weakling. You should look in the mirror each morn-ing and point your finger at yourself and say, "I can doall things; I have possibilities."

Just after Istarted to school a man came along oneday and gave a simple but powerful talk. The story hetold went something like this:

A farmer was on his way to the city to sell someproduce and dairy products. He had a large milk canfull of whole milk. Itso happened that two frogs fellinto the milk just before the man started to town. Not.knowing the frogs were in the milk, he put the lid onthe can.

On the way to town one of the frogs became des-pondent. He reasoned with himself, "I can never getout of here alive. I am doomed for failure. I have hadtrouble all of my life. I am so weak. I will die anyway.There is no use in trying anymore. I am so tired ofkicking, trying to get out."

He had a negative attitude. He thought the thoughtsof defeat. Poisonous fumes went all through his mind.He was a pessimist. He sank to the bottom of the canof milk - a totally defeated frog. In desperation andhumble resignation, he sank to the lower part of themilk can. Inferiority complex killed a nice little humblefrog.'The other frog had a better background. He thought

positive and had good training in a good environment.He reasoned like this:

"I may die, but I will die fighting. A quitter neverwins and a winner never quits. If I die, I won't die de-feated. I will die happy. 1 don't want to be a coward.As long as there is life there is hope. If I go down, Iwill do it with the flags flying full colors. I will fightmy way out of this thing if it is possible."

He kept fighting. He swam around and around. Hekicked and kicked. He thrashed and beat the cream. Hemade a great stir. He began to feel something solid


7/18

under his feet. His legs were going like pistons. As hefelt a more solid footing he rested; then he began again.When the farmer reached town he found one frog atthe bottom and the other frog at the top of that canof milk.

One was dead, drowned at the bottom of the can.The other was very much alive on top of the milk. Histrying had churned the can of milk. There he lay, rest-ing on the top of the butter. You can use obstacles asstepping stones to cross over from failure to success.Perseverance will get results, but the best way tochange circumstances is to change yourself. Do notaccept the idea of defeat. Know yourself. Everyone istempted to think themselves into a dull and gloomy at-titude occasionally, but not everyone yields to it. Youcan change your thoughts. Too many people are tryingto imagine themselves into trouble until their nervesbreak down. An inferiority complex is fear. This powercan dominate your mind.

A physician told me about a woman that came to himfor help. She told this physician that she could not getwell because there was a constant turmoil in her home.He tried long and hard to help her, but he was notsuccessful. The family decided that she must be helpedregardless of the cost.

On pressing this physician he made a decision. He'exploited an idea. He let the three children go on atwo weeks vacation, one at a time. The turmoil re-mained in the home. The husband went on a two weeksvacation; still there was no peace in the family. Whenthe wife went on a two weeks vacation, there was agreat calm in the home. Everything was peaceful.

She was a good woman and was willing to take teach-ing. She changed herself by repeating these words,"I can do all things through Christ which strengthen-eth me. If God be for us, who can be against us?"This faith was stronger than fear, so it pushed out allfear and inferiority complex out of her life. She saidover and over, "If I have faith as a grain of mustardseed, nothing shall be impossible unto me."

TRY AGAIN

W, v. Grant p, 0, Box 353 Dallas 21, Texas

Anyone can succeed if he is willing to make a come-back and try again. Anyone may be knocked down inthe prize ring, but he does not necessarily take thecount. A baby may stumble, but if it never gets up andtries again, it w i l l never walk.

If you are in the lowest valley, there is somethingvery encouraging I can tell you. Anyway you start isthe upward way. On the other side of the valley thereis a mouuntain. Go to the top of the mountain.

You should always have a trusting friend to whomyou may carry your troubles. Someone who will listenand understand. You can unload. You get beside your-self where you can see yourself as others see you -you may be surprised to see that you have magnifiedall of your troubles.

Millions of people are having just as hard a time asyou are. Problems are just what you make them. It isnot the condition of things, but the condition of you.Itdepends on how you take these problems. Your lifedepends on your reactions. Your point of view hasmuch to do with your life.

A girl was walking down the street. She was grum-bling about the gloomy day. She stumbled into a street-car and was injured for life. The same day another girlwas smiling as it rained. A man came along and heldan umbrella over her. She later became his wife. Nowshe thinks rain is about the most wonderful thing inthe world.

What happens in the world, you have very little con-trol over. The way you look at it is quite another thing.It is not conditions as much as it is your attitude. Itis not conditions of things; it is your condition. Youcan't change things, but you can change yourself.

Your getting down can teach you a lot. You mayprofit by your experience. Let your experience teachyou something. If you were in a shipwreck and werecaught out in the ocean in a little life boat, you wouldlet the waves carry you to shore. You would have no


8/18

control over yourself. You would not fight the waves;you would go with the tide.

Learn to adapt yourself. Why not compromise withcircumstances? Don't fight against the odds, lest youtake a nervous breakdown and a mental crackup.

Your disappointment may be God's appointment.Be careful. Examine yourself. You may be fightingagainst the Lord. If He is going one way and you aregoing another, you may tear yourself apart.I went through an awful depression. We almoststarved back in the 30's. I can look back and see nowthat it taught me the value of the dollar. Ittaught meto manage. There are many valuable things in a de-pression that can teach people.

A man went into a doctor's office and sat down. Heexplained to the doctor, "Doctor, I am a total failure.I'll never amount to anything. I am an alcoholic. Ihave never held a job over two weeks in my life. Peopledon't like me. I have spent most of my life fn jail. Iam hopeless; I am totally defeated."

This man had a lifeless expression in his eyes."Then why are you here?" asked the doctor."Well, I hadn't thought of that," answered the man,

"I must have some hope left or I wouldn't be here."His hopes sprang up again. He started all over againfrom the small ray of hope he discovered he had, andhe made a great success. In spite of everything, thisman discovered he had a little hope and a will to live.That ray of hope lies within every man. If he will justlook for it, he can find it.

If you feel like you are on a dead-end street, take acheck and see if you are going the opposite direction.See if you are going contrary to the Lord's will. If youare going wrong, turn around and run for your life.You were not born under an unlucky star. Get rid ofyour sense of guilt. Get forgiveness and go God's way,then the rest of your life will be a success.

SUCCESSFUL LIVINGDid you ever match wits with someone? When intelli-

gent men with sharp minds gather around a conferencetable for days at a time, it is quite a tense feeling.In conferences I have walked out in the middle of animportant session because my mind needed a little rest.I especially feel for our senators and representativesin our National Capitol. Many of them break downunder the strain. Did you ever watch two perfectly-matched men in a wrestling match? Strength comesagainst strength until they are both exhausted. Thatis the way it is when several intelligent men match witshour after hour and day after day. The mind is tiredand tense. If you do not relax then, before long somekind of emotionally-induced disease affects the heart,and colon, and several other parts of your body.

A problem is just as large as you make it. Somepeople make great problems out of small things. Othermen make the same problems easier by the way theyare able to take them.

Mr. Smith, an intelligent man came into our churchservices after he had been in a streneous conferencefor several days. He had battled his mind against prob-lems until his whole system was tense. His mind wasso tired he just sat there and tried to forget all of hisworries. Suddenly as he sat there in service, the answerseemed to flash across the congregation from some-where. Like a flash he had the answer that he had beenseeking for months. He went back with the solution.The conference was over. The problem was solved.

That solution is one of the spiritual gifts God hasset in the church. It is called the "Word of Wisdom."

As Mr. Smith relaxed his mind and body and shutout all thoughts, God's thoughts suddenly came to him.

God has no problems. His thoughts are as high aboveour thoughts as the heavens are above the earth.

One executive, as he sat in church, caught an ideaas the preacher spoke. Itwas the idea of profit-sharing.He now has one of the most successful businesses in theUnited States. His employees are happy. Their prob-


9/18

lems are solved. That idea now has spread over mostof America. It is used by some of our largest companiessuch as Sears and Roebuck and others.

One man had always been backward. He had an in-feriority complex and could not get started in business.He was a failure, but suddenly he changed! He is oneof our most influential businessmen now. He has a verypowerful personality. He says it took place suddenly ashe sat in a church service. The thought came to himthat there is no respect of persons with God. What Hehas done for others, he will do for him. Imust believethat Iam what the Lord says Iam. Everyone meansme. Everyone that asketh receiveth. This man felt asudden change. He became a new creature. Old thingspassed away. All things became new. He heard thepreacher say, "All things are possible to him that be-lieve. I can do all things through Christ which strength,eneth me."

The preacher, as he was preaching said, "Hear andyour soul shall live." We must hear with our soul. Ourspiritual deaf ears must be unstopped. We must hearhim say, "Come unto me all you that are laden and areheavy laden and I will give you rest." If God created lisin the first place, then He is well able to recreate us.Worship is a fine art and we must do it regularly. Wemust leave our thoughts at home. Go to church in aregular manner with a spirit of enjoyment. Have a re-laxed body and an open mind. Don't be rigid. Dismissyour problems. Don't carry any ill feelings with you.Don't think about yourself. Get your mind on others.Above all, expect great things. You will receive whatyou expect.

CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS

A minister told me. that a merchant came to him.telling him his aches and pains and talking about thedepression. After counselling with this businessman,the minister found that he was full of hatred, resent-ment, and criticism. He could not forget people's faults.The wise minister said, "Wouldn't it be wonderful ifI could do just as a surgeon would do? Suppose I couldget a surgeon to cut the top of your head off and scrapeall of those impure thoughts out of the inside of yourhead. Then it would be great if Icould take a machineand blow the effects of it out of your brain."

The businessman said, "Yes, that surely would bewonderful."

Then the minister said, "Suppose Icould be there todrop some Bible verses down into your brain before heput the top of your head back on. These verses wouldcause the perfume to go all through your mind. Love,peace, and kindness would go through your whole sys-tem."

The businessman said it would be good if that couldhappen, but he said it was impossible.

"No, it is not impossible," said the wise pastor. "Thehole doesn't need to be cut into your head; it is alreadythere. There are two holes called 'eyes'. Through thosetwo holes you can pack many verses from the Bible.You can memorize many passages which will send theperfume of faith, 'love, and peace all through yourwhole system.

"There are two holes in your head called 'ears.' Youcan attend church and hear the sermons and songs.Through these two holes you can pack contentment,courage, and cheerfulness. That will send peace throughyour whole system. Faith comes by hearing.

"You don't need a surgeon's knife to correct the in-side of your head. The good thoughts will drive out allof the bad thoughts just as light drives out darkness.Faith will drive out doubts. Love is stronger than hate.Courage is more powerful than fear. Forgiveness chas-

ARE YOU SUCCESSFUL?This merchant went home and put the simple truthsinto practice. He memorized a Bible verse each day.He attended church twice each week. He heard theminister say, "When the evil spirits have left a man, hewanders about in dry places seeking rest, but does notfind it. Then he says to himself, '1 will return to myhouse from whence 1 came.' When he comes back hewill find that there is no one there, but that the househas been swept, garnished and put into order. Out hegoes again and returns with seven other evil spiritsmore wicked than himself, and they go in and dwellthere. Thus the last condition of that man is worsethan the first."

The merchant saw the point. He decided that hewould not leave his mind empty. He had always beenable to cast these bad thoughts from his mind, butlike a flash they would always come back.

This time he put something in their place. He putgood ideas in his mind. He put up a sign, "No vacancy."He filled his mind with pleasant thoughts. He memor-ized the words of the Master which are more powerfulthan evil thoughts. This perfume not only went allthrough his mind, but through his whole system. Everycustomer he met saw the difference. He had a beam inhis eye, a spring in his walk, and a glow on his face.His business soon doubled. He had friends on every side.

You go to your dentistor your doctor regularly. Whynot make a regular trip to your spiritual adviser? Youeven let your doctor see on the inside of you. Don't beafraid to let the minister see your inside life. He willnot criticize. He will understand. Just as you tell yourlawyer everything, let your minister know it all. He isinstructed to be your spiritual adviser. He can help youover your guilt complex. Then you can get your sinsforgiven and get your soul right with your Maker.

I knew a businessman whose nerves were tied up.His nervous energy was very high. He has very littlestrength. Thinking about his tremendous problems de-feated him. His strength was depleted as a sharp cir-cuit pulls down a battery. If it had been possible toput a metered machine on him the hand would haveshown negative. The hand would have discharged overinto the red, He had drawn on all of his reserve.This man would not get out of the bed until nearlynoon each day. He was grouchy, irritable, and cranky.He was oppressed and depressed all the day long. His"get up and go" had got up and gone.

Each morning his sweet little wife would come andsay, "Honey, how are you feeling?" She would bringhis breakfast to bed every morning. He always hadshadows, obstacles, and a defeated spirit.

One day he heard a lecture on the subject, "Thinkon These Things." He decided to change his way ofthinking.

This man's wife was shocked the next mornnig whenshe came to ask him how he was feeling. "I feel likegetting up," he said. She was lifted off her feet. Hekissed her and went singing into shave. He ate hisbreakfast at the table as he should. He surprised allof his employees when he came in on time with a bigsmile!

This businessman had a regular checkup on his phy-sical condition, but up until now he had never had amental checkup. His whole nervous system had beendepleted as a short circuit would deplete a battery.His mind had been engaged in intellectual "free-wheeling."

At the beginning a thin line of worry had comeacross his mind. As that worry grew it changed histhought pattern. As he changed his way of thinkingtoward fear, a thin line of faith began in his mind.As he kept thinking about good things this line broad-ened until it formed another thought pattern. Faithpushed out that fear as light chases darkness, as anocean is more powerful than a river. When this busi-nessman went to his business from then on, he satW. V. Grant P. O. Box 353 Dallas 21.

Solutions came to him to meet the mostdifficult problems. His debts were paid; his businessdoubled; he made much more money; he spent muchless energy. Other businessmen sat up and took notice.They wanted to take lessons from this man. The secretof his whole success was one verse he learned to mem-orize, Philippians 4:8, "Finally brethren, whatsoeverthings are true, whatsoever things are honest, what-soever things are .i ust, whatsoever things are pure,whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things areof good report, if there be any virtue and if there beany praise, think on these things."

"But how can a man think on these things?" he wasasked. Then he had a chance to explain, "Commit yourways unto the Lord and your thoughts will be estab-lished." Too many people try to think good thoughtswithout committing their ways unto the Lord. Whenthey would do good evil is present with them. Theyhave not been born again or become a new creature.They have only joined the church. This businessmanwas filled with the Spirit. That made the difference.Even after you are filled with the spirit. you must"think on these things."

As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Mentalthoughts only will not change your seat of affectionand your sub-consciousness and sub-consciousnessthoughts. They will not change your sense of guilt.Doubts and worries will hinder the recovery of anypatient. Go to the mirror and point your finger, callyourself by name, and say, "You will, think on thesethings. You can do all things through Christ whichstrengtheneth you."

Mr. Perfectionist walked into a house and becameangry because some article was misplaced on the table.He blew his top at the bellboy in the hotel because thisboy did not get around quick enough, or give him goodenough service. He storms out at a businessman if heis not waited on in the right manner. His employeesare miserable because they can never please him. Hiswife took a nervous breakdown trying to meet his de-mands. He spent so much time trying to dress and talkperfectly. He tried to use words too big for him. Heintroduced me this way one time, "We are glad to havethis 'extinguished' visitor."

I look for this man to take a nervous breakdown atmiddle-age because he pushes himself trying to besomething that he cannot be. He has the perfectionistcomplex.

Mrs. Perfectionist is never at ease. She isn't satisfiedwith the training of her children, the keeping of herhome, personal appearances, her love life, her socialrelationships, or anything she begins. This complexnags at her to no end. It is the major cause of unrest,dissatisfaction, and unhappiness. Her nerves are onedge all of the time.

She wastes every ounce of her energy trying to beperfect. This nagging impulse becomes a nightmare.It is never gratified.

Susie is cleaniness personified. She has always beena dirt-chaser. She combs her hair a dozen times a day.She washes her hair each time she takes a bath. Afterbeing in the kitchen no one can find a grain of dirt.She has no time for anything else but to stay clean.No one could please her. She must do her housework.She won't trust anyone else. She will spend the lastpart of her life in an institution if she continues likeshe is going.

Joan said she would never marry unless she got theman she was looking for. She never found him for thereare no perfect men. Every man has faults. Joan waskept waiting. She is still waiting.Men do not like women who appear perfect. Itfright-ens them. These men are always tense around these

the woman a few things. They like to bend them totheir will sometimes.

Being overcritical of yourself is hard on the nervoussystem.

Miss Patterson goes through agony. As a steno-grapher she tries to be exacting. She works overtimefree of charge, trying for perfection. She writes a wholenew letter instead of erasing an error. She lies awakeat night if part of the work is left until the next day.That is her nature. She stands before the mirroreach morning prancing and fussing. She spend hourson her hair, make-up, and perfume. She spends hoursat the beauty parlor. Much of this is because she hasan inferiority complex.

Mr. Jones has to sit tense all the time he is at homebecause his wife strives to be perfect. He can't relax,lie on the bed, or lean back comfortably in a chair.

Mrs. Jones is overcritical of the way other peoplekeep house. She criticizes the singer, the preacher, andthe people she dines with. She criticizes the Englishthey use. She slurs the way someone dresses.

Why does she do this? She is trying to show thatshe is superior to other people. She is trying to buildher ego at someone else's expense.

Don't let success go to your head to the extent thatyou are hated by everyone. Don't try to get people tothink that they are inferior to you. Don't shut off anof the people that do you wrong. You may need to canon them again sometime. If the door must be shut,hold onto the knob and let it ease to. Do not ever slamthe door between you and someone else.

There is none good, no not one. There is none goodbut God. That is why we must have a Saviour. We can-not save ourselves. If we confess our sins, he is faith-ful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us fromall unrighteousness.

ARE YOU CHILDISH?

How childish are you? Have you grown up? Examineyourself now.

When my first son arrived I thought he was verydelicate. I handled him so carefully as if I were afraidhe would break.

Later I saw that he could take rough treatment.Soon I was throwing him into the air. I would catchhim as he came down. He laughed himself hoarse andthen cried for me to do it again. I would get tired buthe never got enough.

I have tried to do other little children the same way.I did not enjoy it as much. They did not enjoy it asall because they were afraid. Being afraid that theywould fall, they grew tense. They would not relax likeJunior did.

What was the difference'? I was Junior's daddy. Hewas my son. He felt that I would not drop him. Thatlove drove out fear. Love is stronger than fear. Sincehe was my son, I would naturally catch him and notlet him fall to the ground.

I would put Junior on a rock wall. He would jumpinto my arms as he laughed and enjoyed the tripthrough the air.

I noticed when I had Junior in my arms, he did notcry all the day long being afraid I was going to drophim. He was not worried; he was not afraid that Iwas going to let him freeze to death or starve to death.He was relaxed and had faith in me.

I heard over the news last night that a manhung his eight-year-old boy up by the thumbs for al-most a day because the boy ate one of his bananas.In this case the father was abnormal. He had no lovefor the boy.

A twenty-five year old lady was afraid because herhusband left for the army. She was afraid that shewould be a widow. She almost worried herself sick.She looked and noticed her baby sitting in her lapperfectly relaxed. The baby was trusting her com-

pletely. It was not afraid that she would drop it.Then this young lady thought of the scripture which

tells us to be converted and become as a little child.She sat there in that chair and thought to herself.She imagined herself, her husband, and the baby asall being in the Lord's arms. She said, "I will trustand not be afraid. Perfect love casts out fear. Thenshe injected a medicine into her mind. This medicinedrove out the infection of fear.This was "word medicine." She took it not as aliquid medicine from a bottle; she did not take itthrough her mouth. She took this medicine throughher eyes as she read the Bible. Here it is, "For Godhas not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, andof love, and of a strong mind, (II Timothy 1 :7).

Needless to say, when this lady became as a childagain and believed that God was her Father, she re-laxed and rested. The worry was gone. She kept her-self from taking a nervous breakdown or becoming very"tired-minded" and emotionally sick.

Memorize II Timothy 1:7, and quote it daily. It willbuild faith, a sound mind and power. It will heal themind, soul, and body. This spiritual idea is as muchstronger than the diseased idea as light is strongerthan darkness. It will drive out fear as light drives outdarkness. The whole world is filled with worried, an-xious, and defeated people. They are taken captive bythe thoughts they happen to think.

Another way to partake of the healing medicine isthrough the ears. Faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17). Attend church and listen to the Word throughsermon and in song. Get rid of the sense of guilt andthat abnormal fear will leave.

You will not dare open up a fine watch and putgravel into the works. No, you would carry that watchto the jeweler and have it cleaned. ,

As you hear the Word at church, your mind iscleansed from th'e gravel of fear. Your mind is oiledby faith which has healing virtue. It gives you a pure,sound, workable mind capable of creating new ideas,

ARE YOU NORMAL?

Test yourself and see if you are any different thanother people. There are two common things that canpull down your nerves.

First, you may be over self-conscious. You may feeltimid and inferior to others. You may be afraid youare not being accepted and approved. You may feelthat you are not appreciated, that your ability is notrecognized by others.

Are you self-centered? Do you m~ke friends slowly?You can come out of it. Talk to your next-door

neighbor. Greet people with a cheerful, "Good Morn-ing," and cheery, "How do you do?" Let them feel asincerity in your voice. Do not draw back in your shellor isolate yourself.

To have friends you must show yourself friendly.One lady said that no one shook hands with her. Iasked her if she shook hands with other people. Shesaid, "No, I never thought of that. Maybe that is thereason they didn't shake hands with me."

Recognize your work and believe in it. There is no-thing wrong with having some ego. It is not pride butself-respect.

Secondly loneliness can deplete your nervous system.It can cause your energy to be discharged. Some peoplecan be lonely in a crowd of a hundred thousand people.Other people would not feel lonely even if they werein a forest with just squirrels for two weeks at a time.

Loneliness is not a condition of things, but the con-dition of you.I know loneliness grips and hurts the heart. It pro-

duces melancholy thoughts and feelings. It causes youto feel unwanted, inferior, tired, and shunned. You arenot queer. You are only lonely. You need fellowship,friendship, and comradship. You were not born to bemisguided or to be misunderstood. If you are lonely,you are repressed. If you are lonely, no doubt, you arean introvert. You were not born that way. Somethinghas caused this condition.


14/18

IN NEH CO NFLICTThe cure for this is to give your attention to others.

Help someone today. Visit a neighbor. Help the sick.Give to charity. Think about the problems of otherpeople.Interest yourself in a hobby such as sewing, or build-ing something. Find your inner possibilities.One girl wore glasses. She had a physical defect

which made her feel inferior to others.You have qualities. If you have a hobby, learn todisplay your achievements. I am sure you can cookhamburgers. Invite omeone to come and eat some of

your cooking.J cin in the crowd and do good to someone. Pick upa book; answer a letter, straighten up your room. Dosome mending. Hang up some pictures. Plant someflowers. Re-arrange the furniture. Change the color ofyour bedroom. Re-design your wallpaper. Create someactivities. Get busy. Knit or embroidery. Work yourgarden. Use your imagination in self-expression forgood. Remember an idle mind is the devil's workship.You will find that you are not as unwanted and

shunned as you imagine. Give some affection to othersand you will receive it back. Give and it shall be given.Of course you know, if you are bound by a guilt com,plex, you cannot and will not do these things withoutthe help of your Maker. You know you can't get bywith hidden wrong. You cannot do wrong and get by.A man got rid of his guilt complex. His loneliness

left. He soon became a normal man.The text he heard and memorized, that changed hislife was, "Let the wicked forsake his ways, and theunrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return untothe Lord, and He will have mercy upon him and to ourGod for he will abundantly pardon."

When you are at war with yourself, you have in-ner conflicts. You are going two ways at once. Youtear yourself apart. You have a battle within.A young lady by the name of Jane worked as a

private secretary to an executive vice-president of alarge company. Jane was only twenty-eight years old.She had successfully worked her way up the long ladderof success. She was very efficient. She possessed hon-esty, pride, hard-work and perseverance. She had builta very wonderful reputation for ten years. She drew alarge salay. She demanded respect from the executiveand from everyone in the large company.For years evervthing went well. She did not seem

to resent the way the executive piled things upon herdesk even though it was during the last few minutesof the day. She was willing to stay overtime or comeback before bedtime and finish the work.Jane had one quality. When her boss was cross ortired, she managed to remain calm and relaxed inside.

Her future seemed to be assured. After she had worked25 months Jane was pale and tired. She lost too muchweight. She had a pain over her heart. She could notunderstand it. She had a worried look on her face. Shereported that she had nightmares.At a certain time she was depressed.Jane went to a good physician and was examined.I-Ie t old her that she was overworked and that she mustgo on a vacation.She spent sixty days in the West Indies, but hernerves and exhaustion became more severe.The real trouble with Jane was not really her

nerves. but the real trouble was an inner conflict. Shewas at war with herself. She had an internal strife andconfusion. She refused to admit it or tell it to anyoneuntil it was almost too late.Jane had so much pride that she would not even

admit it to herself that she had fallen in love with herboss. He did not know it, but she did. She had battledit for months, but finally let it get the best of her.

Be honest with yourself.If you can't trust a single person, then tell it to

Jesus alone. He understands. He knows. And most ofall, He cares.One person was nervous because she was not surethat she was deeply enough in love to marry. She wasafraid to marry because she was afraid that her affec-tion would not be genuine.

One day she quit relying on her motherto make her decisions. She quickly recovered. She isnow happily and normaly married. Her health is nor-mal now, because she is living a normal life with noconflicts.Stop being depressed. Don't try to be different toeveryone else. Be sincere. Think for yourself. If youdon't stand for something, you will fall for anything.If you find yourself leaning towards sarcasm and

cynicalisrn - if you find that you have become toocritical, you can find an inner peace by confessingeverything and getting all of your guilt washed away.Get in tune with your Maker. Trade your load for arelease.When He forgives you, then forgive yourself. Peacewill automatically flood your soul and mind if you willbelieve.

HOW FORGETFUL ARE YOU?Can you remember anything you want to remember '?

Do you want to have that ability to do so?Can you forget anythng you want to forget by sim-

ply saying, "Be Gone'?"It is not that simple with most people. The more

they try to forget some unpleasant things, the moreintense it is fixed in their mind.The secret of putting the thoughts out of your mind,

and forgetting it, is to substitute a more powerfulthought in its place.A friend of mine thought his employer was unfair

to him. The employer was cruel, unfair. hateful, un-kind, dishonest, and had bad principles.After having an ill-will toward his employer for some

months, my friend discovered he had a peptic ulcer.The physician told him the ulcer was caused by hisdisturbed state of mind.My friend was sick because of the thoughts of hate,

revenge, ill-will, and unforgiveness. He had troubletrying to forget.Our problem was to get my friend to change

thoughts. It was necessary for him to put more power-ful thoughts in the place of these bad thoughts.The bad thoughts kept coming. The poison of resent-

ment had gone all through his body and caused theulcer.We talked to this friend and told him that the only

thoughts stronger than the hate thoughts were lovethoughts. The Lord said, "Vengeance is mine and Iwill repay."My friend and the Lord framed up on the employer.

We prayed for his employer. We decided to let theLord take care of him. My friend reported that he feltlike a new man after he turned the whole thing overinto the Lord's hands. The Lord will keep whatever wecommit into His hands. Love is stronger than death.Hate a man and he is still your enemy. Kill him andhe is still your enemy. Love him and pray for him. Hecan't stand that. Love will overcome.


16/18

SELF CONFIDENCEYeu can't forget? Then all you need to do is to get

full cf God's love. It will come naturally for you to for-give and forget.

The poison which is brought on by ill will disappearsif you will practice good will. Some people destroy theirefficiency. They make themselves miserable. They ruina happy future all because they will not forget insultsand unfairness.

My daddy lived in the house with my sister for aboutten years without speaking to her. That was theirnature. Once they fell out with someone they wouldnever speak to that someone again.

One night my sister went to a revival meeting. Sheprayed. The love filled her soul for everyone. She feltlike a new creature. She began to inject love thoughtstowards her daddy. She spoke soft words. Soft wordsturned away wrath because they were more powerfulthan cruel words.

Soon my sister and my daddy were friends and weretalking again. A higher power had destroyed that hatefeeling. I know of one man who would not speak to hisdaughter for thirty years.

Finally he went out into an old field, dug a hole, putsome dynamite in the hole, and blew himself intoeternity.

Hate thoughts get the best of people. One man com-plained that he was never contented. He snapped atpeople. He blew his horn at all of the cars that got intohis way. He was soured on the world.

This man was a businessman and he hated peoplebecause they were competitors.

They were of another race and they were more pros-perous than he.

The preacher told him to pray each day for his com-petitors, asking the Lord to prosper them as much ashe was prospered. That was hard medicine to take.This man practiced doing this each day.

He began to speak to his competitors and take themout for lunch.

One day as he was praying for them he felt cleanand happy inside like he was a new creature.

What do you think of yourself"? Do you always agreewith people who criticize you? You are just as good asI am. I am just as good as you are. They are as goodas we are. And we are as good as thev are.

Maybe something has happened to cause you to loseyour self-esteem. Perhaps you have been fired from ajob. Maybe someone got you told. You may feel likeyou have been a failure in some way. You need to regainthat self-confidence.

Some people look on themselves as a permanent fail-ure. They feel they have no place in this world. Theyhave tried everything. Guilt and failure stare them inthe face. It is mostly because they condemn them-selves. They feel they have no wealth, no health, noworth, no importance. no ability, no judgement, nofuture, and no past. There is no bottom to the feelingof despair. They are the most miserable, the sickest,and most deplorable of all people. They are depressed,discouraged, and disgusted. The hopelessness of hourafter hour brings them to the end of themselves.

Maybe you started out with an inferiority complex,and sunk to a sense of failure.

Your accomplishments and achievements have nevermeasured up to expectations. After two or three set-backs your self esteem can vaporize.

Thurman was a confident fellow who bragged on him-self and criticized others. He was ready to set the otherfellow straight On his religious or political views; heregarded his boss' view on things lower than his.

BREAKDOWN OR CRACKUPjobs. He found a job but was discharged in six months.

Mrs. Thurman began to' show her bitterness andcriticized hour by hour.

Mr. Thurman was a totally defeated man. He sawhis mistake and his delusion. He soon was on the wel-fare. He did not have enough self-confidence to go on.

In fact all of his bragging and criticizing others wasjust a cover-up for his inferiority complex. When hefell, he fell hard.Anxiety and unrest followed. Depression was the re-sult. Mr. Thurman's body was found in a closed car.Part of a vacuum cleaner was run from the exhaustpipe to the inside of the car.

His life taught us a lesson. We must show ourselvesfriendly if we want friends. We need a little security.We need to exercise creative expression, have hobbies,and recognize others.

You must believe that you are what God. says youare. You are capable of seeing your guilt and shame.You are capable of confessing your sins. He will for-give you as quickly as you confess.

He will forgive as quickly as He will forgive anyman, woman, boy or girl who ever lived. When He says,"Everyone that asketh receiveth" that includes you.When He says, "Everyone that seeketh findeth," thatincludes you. Everyone means you. Put your namethere instead of the word, "everyone".

Read, "Whosoever that believeth on Him shall notperish, but have everlasting life." Put your name inthe place of the word, "whosoever".

Believe that means you. "My God shall supply all ofyeur needs according to his riches in glory by ChristJesus." If you really believe that, you can look up andsay, "My God shall supply all of my needs."

A doctor friend of mine told how he gave Mrs.Worldly a substitute diagnosis. "To tell her the maintrouble would confuse her more than ever," he argued.He had learned her trouble, but would not tell her. Sohe prescribed "pink pills" one day, "white pills" thenext day, and some larger pink pills the next day. Ofcourse, the lady did not get any better.

Mrs. Worldly came back with the same story. Hernerves were upset. Her stomach was out of order. Shewas tense all over. This tension caused her head toache; then the pain would move and go back to herback, and then to her hips.

Mrs. Worldly was surprised when this kind physiciansaid, "Your case is dismissed. Ican't take you as apatient any longer."

"Why are you dismissing me," she said, "I am nobetter than I was.""Because I can't help you," said the kind, honestdoctor."But doctor, I have the money to pay you. You must

continue treating me," said Mrs. Worldly."I can't treat you any longer. I can't continue taking

your money when I know Icannot help you. You arenot willing to do what Iask you to do," he told her.

"Please doctor," said the anxious lady, "you musthelp me 01' Iwill die. I will do anything you tell me todo."

The doctor asked her to sign her name to that prom-ise on a piece of paper.Then he proceeded to give her an outline of what he

wanted her to do. She did not want to do what he wrotedown on the paper. He asked her to go to church twiceeach week.

Mrs. Worldly said, "I came to a doctor. I didn't knowthat you were a preacher." She stormed out! Then shecame back and signed the paper.

Each time she decided not to attend church rezular-ly, the doctor showed her the piece of paper she signed.At church Mrs. Worldly was in a different atmos-phere. She began to think on spiritual things.


18/18

She remembered that she had hated her sister formany years. Her sister had married the boy she hadplanned to marry. She resented her for many years.

When her spirit was adjusted, her whole life warstraightened out. There was nothing wrong with herhealth then.Many people are at our churches because the physi-cians have tried everything else and sent them tochurch. Others are there because the judge gave themtheir choice to either attend church regularly, or go toprison.Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all of thesethings shall be added unto you.

In our soul, we have a receiving set. We can tune inand receive from the higher power.

In Him we live, move, and have our being. Ifwe arein Him, we are where the flow of power, goodness, andstrength is. We then have the same peace and powerthat He has.

If you are in the atmosphere where the healing lightof God's wonderful power shines, the sense of strainand tenseness will soon go away and disappear. Youwill relax. Your body will recover completely.

Your tortured and tormented being will be soakedwith this light. This light of God will soon reach thespot from which your trouble originates. Itwill spreadthroughout your mind and your nervous system. Your

'-whole heart, liver, and stomach will become normalagain. God is that light. God has the power to take acommon individual- a common man, woman, boy, orgirl, and make of him or her a very extraordinary hu-man being.

He will do this only if your will yield to Him with noreservations.

"Dear Heavenly Father, In the name of Jesus I com-mand trouble to leave right now. Reveal Yourself toevery human being that reads these lines. And I willgive you the praise. Thank you for it. Amen."
