will allow his mind to govern his physical movements and will let his conscience supervise his mental activities. Failure to be guided by the conscience develops weakness in his governing faculties that leads to immoral conduct and a state of putridness—phsical, mental and moral.
 As man’s body decays and lack of action results, he becomes too weak to combat the attack of his mortal enemies, either internal or external, and therefore is disintegrated.
 Man’s degeneracy begins when he fails to listen to the pleadings of his conscience to live for principles and not for self aggrandizement. He weakens himself when he takes. from others that which he does not earn himself.
 When man lives for principles he will not wreck his own life by absorbing poisonous materials that are called for by the destroying DISORGS of his body.
 The DISORGS ensnare man with tempting vices that overpower his will and degrade him until he finally becomes a decrepit and useless wreck.
 Now, a Nation is a social body that is made up of a large number of human beings who build it up or tear it down by the same methods that the human body is built up and torn down by its MENORGS and DISORGS. A nation can be no stronger than its constituency.

A nation can attack itself by poisoning its people with cigarettes, liquors and adulterated foods. It can also wreck itself by allowing swindlers to get control of its money and then forcing the people to pay tribute for the use of it.
 It requires moral strength to have and to hold freedom. The decline of China, the fall of Rome and the death of France all happened from the same basic cause—VICES.
 At one time China was the most powerful nation on earth but the people were weakened by wealth grabbing financiers, who fed them with dope to such an extent that the whole nation, financiers and all, finally collapsed and lost their freedom entirely.
 The people of this country have been fed with dope to such an extent lately, that America now stands next to China on the list of dope smoking countries of the world.
 Reports from maternity hospitals say that a large percentage of American infants are born dead nowadays from mothers who are
