The sympathetic nervous system
which controls the involuntary animal
functions, Is more largely developed
an woman than in man. Her feelings
respond more quickly and keenly to
every external impression. This sym
pathetic nervous system is the great
reservoir Of affection; into il and
through il flows that grand measure of
divine love which is 30 terribly mis-.
understood and perverted. Not love
in a ooningal sense, but that tender,
holy, shellering. uplifting love that
bends down 70 the lowly and wretched,
the poor and undevelopcd and, shar.
