ADDITIONAL SOCIETY
ABOUT MAN.

The deepest thing in man is Ieeling
That which distinguishes the living
from the norliving is sensation. and
next to that comes thought. Man had
better be led by thought than by feel
ing. for feeling is motion, is force;
but unless the force be intelligently
guided it may do more harm than
good. 1t is feeling not intelligcntly
guided that has caused all the cruel
ty and suffering in the world. 1t is
feeling, then, guided by thought, that
makes the perfect man. A complete
man will manifest himself in all the
directions in which he is led by his
faculties and powers.
