Book Description
Excerpt from The Beauty of a Life of Service It is one of the signs to me of how human words are constantly becoming perverted that it surprises us when we think of freedom as a con dition in which a man is called upon to do, and is enabled to do, the duty that God has laid upon him. Duty has become to us such a hard word, service has become to us a word so full of the6 beauty ofa life OF service.

Book Description
George Catlin discusses how closing one's mouth during sleep and day to day will foster improvement in mental and physical condition. This edition contains all of the original illustrations the author made. Walking among and studying various Native American tribes in the 19th century, the author noticed that many of the elders possessed a serene and well-preserved appearance. The young members of the tribe seemed especially healthy, with an innate resistance to certain illnesses and congenital conditions. Seeing the tribe's members sleeping, he noted that they all did so with closed mouths. Catlin pondered whether this habit contributed to the physical vigor of the people, and investigated further. After venturing back to the towns of the Midwest, he attests to witnessing how terrible many people who had practiced mouth breathing throughout life appeared, and became deeply opposed to its practice. This book details how children and young people can be encouraged against mouth breathing, and notes how different the facial countenance appears between mouth breathing people and nose breathers. Today, the notion that mouth breathing promotes physical ugliness or decrepitude is wholly disavowed as an eccentric idea with no basis in fact. However, sleep researchers have demonstrated that breathing with the mouth open while asleep can result in more snoring and thus a lower quality of sleep and therefore health. Overall, one could venture that Catlin's ideas possess a certain merit, even if his book is an exaggeration. Although primarily known today as a painter and traveller who became an emissary of sorts to the Plains tribes, George Catlin was also an enthusiastic if occasional writer. He admired the Native American peoples for their traditions and distinctive appearance, and took to painting them - his marked talent led to their respect for his gifts, and they duly welcomed him with friendship.

Book Description
Excerpt from Life and Service I am not offering this book to the public because my friends have asked me to give out some message in this form, nor because my brothers of my literary club have asked me to put the messages I have given them into a more permanent form, but because I am under a feeling of compulsion. I believe I am led of the Spirit in publishing this message of life and sevrice. I pray that every one who takes the time to read these pages may catch the vision and receive the message. I am particularly anxious to be of help to the rank and file of young preachers and to public school teachers. On the minds of these two classes the impression has been made that there is an ir reconcilable conflict between the Bible and science, which I think it is plainly shown in the first chapter, Things True and False in Evolution, is not the case.
