Ir's crue nearly all rhe would-be

have been lirrle men, wirh rwisred,

big
headlines. The man accused of shoor–
ing Governor Wallace was described
as about
5'

weighing around
145
pounds. Sirhan Sirhan, convicred
killer of Roberr Kennedy, was
5' 5"
and weighed only
120

said he was in favor of aid to Israel.

In like manner, rhe animal brain,
wirhour che spirir rhar is in rnan, can–
nor receive rhe kind of knowlcdge
humans possess. Jusr as srared above,
if an Einstein would rry ro explain

But, when one does receive God's

"The Spirir [of God] irself bearech

How did rnan 's heart come to be
