sensational theory concerning the seat
OF thought in human beings.
I'VE think with out toes and with
our fingers just as much as we think
with any portion of the BRAIN" says
the scientist, who is about to write
book. He contends that the heart has
more to do with the function of think.
ing than the brain.
I'VE think literally all over our
body" says the doctor Thought is
in the soul, which permeates the en-
tire physical being. The brain is a
great heat producer. but 1t has little
to do with the functions of thinking.
We think with our fingers or with our
toes whenever we use them"

The subject Of ministerial relief was
one Of the most prominent and impor-
tant ones considered by the recent
Presbyterian general assembly. The
average salary of preachers in that
great and strong church is only 500 a
year. In speaking on this subject the
Rev. DR.. Agnew of Philadelphia re-
ferred to the preachers as idolized at
thirty, criticised at forty. ostracized at
fifty, Oslerized at sixty and canonized
ut seventy. He said that an endow-
ment fund of $G,OOO,OOO was needed.
A hodcarrier who learns his trade in
a day, can earn more in a year than
the preachers get on the average,
though the education Of the latter costs
them years of study and thousands of
dollars Of eXpense.-Leslie's Weekly.
