had seem hut IL the word were gwen more
extended meaning and made to include cases
receiving instructions from the outside principally
ofc number would bc
,nucb aer In his experience, those instructions al
ways came through of the senses. The patient
either hears the voice Of God sees the writing on the
wall or something of that kind Frequently patients
draw their instructions from the Bible. Thcy read the

subject to the ordinary fear Of danger his answer
that inspiration always overrides any natural fear.
