Due 10 Hypnotic Influence Of

4 curious explanation has been put for
ward by q French writer as 20 the cause
Of SO many people falling into a sound
slumbsr while the preacher delivers his
sermon. The v-eli-worn statement that
sleep Is produced by the STIFFNESS Of the
church IS dismissed as insufficient %
for the writer argues that II this suppo-
sition Is correct. then those members
who submit readily TO a soporihc agent
would also fan asleep before the sermon
began.
The true explanation Of the cause OF 50
many ''nodding heads in a public place
OF worship is. In his opinion. due TO the
members OF the congregation concentrst-
ing their gaze for long time on q sin
gle object, either the counte1ance OF the
preacher or the pulpit, and thus uncon-
sciously hypnotizing himself or herself

who sleep during the sermon are conse-

This is bourne out by the fact that dur

changes. and no sign OF drowsiness is 70

are directed straight to the face OF the
clergyman in the pulpit The facial ex
preston Is one OF strained attention. the
kind described IN the report as breath
less and interested attention. and not
one word is lost 80 far as the sense OF
hearing Is concerned But OF all that
was said and heard during this trance the
auditor retains no recollection. Hence
we have the reason why so many devout
worshipers return from church without
the slightest notion OF the drift Of the
sermon.
They have concentrated their attention
too closely upon the words OF the preach
er. The 0;ly cure for this is inattention-
