Warning to beware of those who scoff at the Bible and to guard against any higher education that might stunt spiritual growth was given by the Rev. S. M?. Wilkin?, pastor of the Carrollton Christian Church; in his baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class of the Carrollton High School Sunday morning in the Carrollton Methodist Church. His subject was "Thought Power a Vial Need of Our Day."
Dwelling upon the wonders of the human mind, Mr. Wilkin pointed out the manifestations of conscious subconscious and superconscious mind. He continued, in part:
"A great physician made the statement that each and every one possesses that which was never born, is never sick and never died. Some call this the God-principle. Others speak of it as the immortal part. The chruch defines it as Christ enthroned within the divine principle or the spiritual force etc. A beautiful name for it is teh superconscious mind."
