 Professor Grimes Lecture
 In continuing the series of lectures on the application of psychology to re- ligious teaching Professor Gaines dis cussed The Training of the Feelings , The speaker called attention to the Tact that the importance of the emo bonal life had been generally under 1ated and this accounts for the fail Ire to give attention to the training or the feeling life at all comparable 10 that which we bestow on the intel lectual life He said:

 "The purpose of the feeling, as has been said. is to furnish the driving f power. But If it does not drive 1t has no right to exist. Feeling clamors for expression. When. therefore we stir the feeling by some appropriate thought or act it should then be given right mo- tor response, else the feeling will evap- crate or take wrong direction thus either weakening the life or pervert- ing it."
