struggle between the north and the south illustrates 1t fairly The ministrations of women nurses and attendants fall with sweetness and power on their subjects that could never proceed from the hearts and hands of men. The incident of the wounded soldier turning to the wall and kissing the shadow of Florence Night engale Is in point. Had it been the shadow of a man he never would or could
 have kissed 1t, no matter how kind that man had been to him, yet t WAS an ex-
 pression of pure gratitude, reverence and loye-holy emotions all-intensiied and
 ra1sed to greater height because his
 benefactOr was a woman. Say not, then that the sexual principle ascends not into
 heaven and has no place in the future
 life. The veneration of the sexes, each for its opposite, is higher, more profound than either IS capable of for its own Say not, then, that sexuality has no religion, no faith, no future life
 Here 1 am likely to be met with the saying of the greatest authorities that lin
 heaven there Is no marrying or giving in marriage, yet this text can not fairly be construed to mean anything more than
 the abolition Of a function, not the de- structlon of principle of sex. The dis
 tinctlon of sex has more thsn the mater lal purpose of procreation. That, how ever was the sole conception of the sex ual principle on the part of the ouerists,
 and the teacher was obliged to answer or
 addless himself to their understandings of the subject, or remain silent Marry
 ing meant, in their estimation, physical
 union of the sexes for the purpose of pro
 creation, and he answered them accord lngly. Had they understood that the
 distinction of the sex meant on one side,
 the incarnation of the divine idea of beau
 ty, love and pure devotion; and on the
 other of conquerng strength, creative
 wisdom and constructive skill, and that
 marriage meant the blending in perfect one of all these elements, then the an- sWer to their question: whose wife shall
 she be!' might have been very different As 1t Is, no more is indicated than the ab-
 rogation of a rite and discontinuance of
 the physically procreative function That the distinction of sex Is mental dis
 tinction, Is clearly shown by the fact that
 we know the sex of writer of an ar ! ticle by it's mental tone, whether male or female, without any other indication.
 But the most potent illustration-bec
 unpurposed and unconscious-o the
 power of the sexual principle to perneate
 intellectual methods and modify spiritual
 conceptions, Is seen in our sacred liter
 ature. Not only Is 1t plainly evident
 that all of the books of the sacred volume
 were written by persons of the masculine
 gender, from the intellectual tone and
 method of each, but the greatest, grand
 est apprehension therein recorded, that of
 a sole, infinite spirit is shaped by 1t. The
 loftiest, sublimest idea of the Divine Be
 ing ever cherished on earth, that which
 the Christ carried in his breast. could
 not transcend the principle of sex. He
 was the Heavenly Father. Everywhere
 the Infinite Is denominated Him or He 7
 never her or she. This is significant II
 the highest degree, if not an actually ex-
 lstlng distinction within the world oi
 spirits, at least of the impossibility of the
 human mind, even in its most sublime
 most thermal flight of conception, to ig
 nore that distinction. It would seen
 that It such distinctions were not as pc
 culiar to the intellectual and spiritua
 powers of the human mind as to the phys ical frame, and therefore to perish witt 1t, some conception might have been hal of spiritual beings that would recognize the fact Nay, more than one of the ia { vored few who have seen God and 'havt

 That each and every faculty of the hu = man mind, and every instinct of the sou z IS primarily endowed with the capacit, of performing g two-fold function-on Q that might be termed the upper and an : other the lower or earth-like function
 thus relating the soul of man to two lives the present and the future life, may b partly inferred from the relations of tn different parts of the human system t
 each other, especially the brain. It true of the brain, as a whole, that 1t ha : a summit and base; and this every men : tai scientist IS aware, means that the sou

 the upper brain is performed the higher
 the neral and the spiritual processes, ant
 through the lower brain the lower ani
 nal functions and feelings. It IS als,
 equally well known that through the inter < mediate portion of the cerebral mass ar g performed those mental offices that ar , intermediate ill kind between the mora a and the spiritual above, and the apima s or physical below Thus brain aud func s tion are graded together as high in an un l interrupted course from crown to base ' therefore the same significance must at f tach to the circumstance that each dis 8 tinct organ has a summit and base tha s attaches to the same circumstance regard V ing the brain as a whole. We caEno s limit the application of the law relatin t structure and position to function, to tn r subdivisions of this substance into group l. of organs. It applies to each individua
 organ of each individual faculty as vel 0 If the upper portion of the brain as e whole performs a more exalted office tha }, does it's lower portion, and if the uppe r half of each group of organs performs '. higher range of functions than does it ,- lower half, both of which propositions ar | well known to be correct, then it follow ?, inevitably and unavoidably that the III t per and lower parts of each individual ol e gan perform, if not distinct and differer > functions, at least different grades of th V same function; one relating to the lii $ that now is, and the other, through anal; n gcus, as the acrostation of the butterfl e is to the locomotiOn of the caterpilla ,- looking to the life that Is to be from ii $ full unfolding.
 l. Every physloi0glst and anatomlst wh D has had much experience in handling th y human head, must, l think, have bee 2 struck by the occasional unequal develop Il ment of the different part of the same O is gan. In some instances the upper DO n ton will be found shrunken in appea Is ance, partially hollowed out and depres q 9d, while the remaining portion will | 5s round and full or vice versa. If > means something to the physiologist an le anatomist to find one part of a forehead o or any other division of a head, full an l. another empty, it should also mean som, c. thing to him to find one part of particl a. lar organ full and another empty.
