WHY DRoWsINEss IN CHURCH
Professor Says Constant Watching OF
the Preacher Brings on Form
Of seif-rypnotism.

DO you know why sermons make
you sleep? Because you hypnotize
yourself, says German professor.
Have you ever wondered why 1t ID
that you do get SO sleepy In church
that you sometimes think you are go
ing straight OF into a Rip Van Wrinkle
slumber? fss,
It is because you are too attentive.
It isn't because the air Is bad, the
sermon stupid, or anything Of the
kind. The more faithful and Jealous
you are the sleepier yau can get.
The reason is that you gaze too
hard at the preacher and hypnotize
yourself. You are so attentive that
you get yourself in an unnatural state
and then suddenly you find that you
are hopelessly sleepy and cannot re-
member what you have heard.
TN the early part Of the service. !"
the professor says. there Is variety
singing, reading. and so forth-but
the sermon Itself Is utterly unbroksn.
