GENESIS OF FEAR.
Gray Cells Of Our Brains Stamped
With Ancient Terriers,

charging ram scatter half a dozen
men, any one of whom could have
mastered the brute in moment, and
not one Of whom was In ordinary mat
tiers n coward. There are instances on
record of men who with their bare
hands have held and bafiied an ugly
bull, but 1t was only the pressure of
grim necessity that taught them their
powers. Put man against an animal
and the man looks around for weap-
ons or support, whether he needs them
or not. There was time when he did.
For man, today the most lordly Of
animals, was once well nigh the most
humble Of them all. He has come up
out Of a state In which fear was the
normal condition Of existence-fear Of
violence, Of the dark that gave oppor-
tunlty for violence, fear of falling, of
animals, Of being alone. And into the
plastic gray cells Of our brains are
stamped these ancient terrors, liv.
ing record Of the upward climb of
man.
The baby shows this record most
clearly. In him the prints Of heredIty
are not yet overlaid by the tracks Of
use and custom, and therefore In him
We may most easily read our past his
tory. He il our ancestor as truly as
lie is our reincarnatlon, and his every
shrinking gesture and frightened cry
are chronicles Of the younger world,
tales of the age Of fear.
They tell Of the days when man was
not the master of the earth nor even
highly considered citizen of the
same. but runaway subject of the
meat eating monarchs, whose scepter
was tooth and claw, humble plebeian
