    mate and inanimate substances of motor, motion, mind, shape, and form, speaking of self only as seen and felt; making the eye to behold, and the mind to sit in judgment on thy work. A judge, to do justice - in his decision, must have the whole of the evidence of the case; and self being witness, juror, and judge, and knowing the subject and substance of the infinite acts of force, then he, too, must say, How curious!” Prophecy is what can be seen by a cloudless mind, either of the past or future. The events of the past and coming days must all be in sight of the eye of the mind. To prophesy well, you must see through two veils—one of the past and one of the future. If an event is to arise tomorrow, where is it now? Memory calls up the past; reason sees tomorrow. Thought is the action of the machinery of the upper story of life, fed by the nerves of sensation and nutrition, in which chamber only the corpuscles of life center—the arteries of reason to be woven into knowledge by the loom of the Infinite, which moves all there is of mind at one general move, putting that power into motion in all beings, forms, and worlds: a quality which is as plentiful as space, when you think you touch the cord that connects you to the Infinite. All causes combined will never shake the stone on which Osteopathy is founded. Go deep or shallow, the farming is rich all the time. Of what value is a mind when placed in the brain of a coward? If mind is a gift of God to man for his use, let him use it. A mind is not in use when doing no good. If God knows a man will not use his mind, why did He not put horns on him and call him a mutton-head?
