Intellect and emotion in man are merely finite manifestations of the dual principles of wisdom and love, transmuted to the sublime offices of reason and religion in man. The second is necessary to the development of the religions sentiment, together with all the Pentecostal gifts, inspirations, ministrations from the spirit world, prophecies, tongues, healings of disease, together with all sympathy for human sufferings, going out of one's self to do good to others. An individual all intellect is a monster who needs regenerating to ever become normal. One who is all emotion is in the same degree abnormal, and needs reconstructing quite as well. I often feel a solid concern, that I accordingly labor earnestly to resolve in myself this happy normal medium in order to become as useful and highly beneficial to society as possible.
Intellect relates to all matters within the domain of reason.
Emotion relates to all those indescribably grand and important matters within the domain of religion and inspiration, often transcending the bounds of reason, but never necessarily contradicting her suggestion. Intellect enables us to search into all truth which can be discovered by logical research, experiment and analysis. Emotion presents to its the beauty of holiness, the peace of righteousness, love to each other, sympathy and tenderness toward the suffering, the glory and perfect splendor of purity, and often opens up a vista of sublimity and glory far-reaching even into the serenest recesses of heaven itself. And yet intellect and emotion are so perfectly correlated that one is in every way and under all circumstances necessary to the other, in the highest and most harmonious development of which humanity is capable. If one is so far overborne by the other that spontaneity in the direction of either is forestalled or annihilated, the abnormal results of mental and spiritual disaster and sorrow are sure to follow, and persistently continue until the normal equilibrium is restored.
