more than Washington is the only directing center Uncle Sam has. Every city, little or big, is a directing center; it draws its own appropriation of power and uses it as it pleases—within its limits—which are set by the intelligence at Washington.

Every ganglion in the body is a little brain which governs in a measure the use of its own appropriation of power from the soul-center, the solar-plexus; but always with the consent of the central intelligence, the brain—
the Washington, D. C., of the body.

Money represents power, the will-strand of love. Whenever a city needs more money than it can draw by its own wisdom, it calls on Washington to send a special appropriation. Washington may pass a law enabling the needy city, or state, to draw more money; or it may appropriate the amount direct from the government source; or, when these processes are too red-tapey, it might make a general call to all hands to dispense with routine and send the money anyhow. This was what happened when Roosevelt called for help for the Mt. Pelee refugees. Money was poured in from all directions, instead of being sent through regular channels.

Whenever one of the lesser brains of the body, one of the ganglia, records a condition of want among its cells it tries to draw power to overcome the difficulty. If it cannot do this on its own account it sets up a cry that is heard at the central station of consciousness and government—the brain. When that cry comes we say we feel pain in the region of that particular ganglion. If we give our stomach more than it can do we hear a loud call for power—we feel a dull or painful sensation there.

When that call comes it draws special attention from the seat of general government—the brain.

Now, if the individual whose seat of government is in that brain happens to be wise enough and “strenuous” enough, he will do just what Roosevelt did; he will call for POWER from any and all directions, to relieve the want of power in the stomach. And he will call in perfect faith that the demands will be met with an overflowing abundance.

This is the method of self-healing.

Of course, if the individual whose seat of government is in
