To make a possible you have to put
five bulls in straight at what is called
a four inch group, i. e. the fiveshots
must be in a circle no wider than
four inches, mine only occupied a
two and a half inch circle, which is
a sniper or marksman.

of the man who parades as a, mc.xa

occupying his position through some
pull or other. The comparison is

Then he talks about faith; though
he had, faith to dominate or eons -
trot matter. Whcneve,r the speaker
tears a locomotive whistle he real-
izes that the engineer is controlling-
matter. The wheelsman on board the
large ships is an example of the
domination o1' mind over matter yet
we remember in the November storm
when ;the langee ships were toissed
about like elxlps apy the angry seas.
If we could ,control seas or. a'emove
