New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1916-02-09

these things, then the infant might do
the same thing at three OF. four years and
he wouldn't have to grow up. If that
were true the animal would do the same
thing. The chimpanzee would think,
talk and act like you do. *N
These are not my words, but they are
beautiful. MAN is as far removed
from other animals as the farthest fixed
star is removed from the earth. He
stands on mountain top far removed
from the lower .anuimals. He is the
Alps and the Andes of the animal crea-
tion."
Let me tell you fact. If were to
place here the brain of chimpanzee by
the side of this brain the physician would
not know which was the human brain
and which was the brain of the CHM
panzee. This was recently shown in
New York City. A chimpanzee died at
certain ZOO. The brain was taken to a
Psychologist, and also a human brain,
and he was asked to select the CHM
panzee's brain. He was entirely unable
to do it because the chimpanzee's brain
in every particular is exactly like the
mans brain. Then if brain secretes
thought why don't the chimpanzee think
like we do? What is it then, what is it
that makes us greater then the CHM
panzee? Is it the brain? No. Is it
the muscles? No, the horse has stronger
muscles. Is it the stomach? No, the
COW has more than one. Is it the bones?
No, the horse, dog, chimpanzee, all have
bones like we do. Is it the blood? No,
you can't tell the blood of dog from
that of a man. defy any physician to
determine whether or not murder was
committed by the blood, unless he be
a very great expert. All these things we
possessi in common. These are animal
material. But listen, there exists in
your brain and mine something immortal,
something that raises the brain of man
above the animal. What is that some
thing? What is it? Look, answer and
tell me what is that something? 1t has
within it just what the organ has. She
who plays the organ cannot make music
without the instrument. Man cannot
think without the gray matter. Man
cannot think or utter one word without
that personality operating through the
brain. Oh! If I could tell you just how
it operates through the brain, would
tell you something about the immortal
soul.
The gray matter is divided into many
centers, and here perhaps is the most
mysterious of the teaching. 1t is divided
into many centers. Now I will explain
what mean by that. Here in the front
part of the brain is the convolution
known as the first frontal convolution.
On each side we have convolution
known as the Brocas convolution which
is the center of speech. Let me ask you
a question:: Is this quality of speech
born in a person? Is the quality of
of speech born in the baby who possesses
,, the brocas triangle? No, he must make
that himself. He has the ability and
he must 60 to work and build it up. The
teaching is that if he uses his right hand,
then the left side becomes speaking
! portion. Now I am not going into
that at all but this we know absolutely
that this portion of the brain, no larger
than hickory nut, is where speech re-
sides and where cell upon cell is added
, until large vocabulary is stored there.
Is it born there? No, it is stored there
by this something, this personality that
works through the brain. Now we
have had all kinds of evidence of that.
Many times this brocas convolution has
been injured, many times destroyed
then the person cannot speak at all. -
| 1t might be of interest here to refer
to a fact that happened on the 29th of
January 1901 when the Board of Trade
in New York City held their annual ban
quet. They invited Mr.. VIM. Window
of Minnesota, who was an authority on
money matters, to deliver an address on
the soundness of money. He was put
ting forth great effort, his brain was
full of blood and among other things he
said was this: GAS poison in the blood
permeates arteries, veins, nerves, and
the brain and produces paralysis or
DEATH so base and f1uctuating currency
permeates the arteries of commerce,
paralyzes all kinds of business and brings
disaster to all classes of people," Said
he, "It is as impossible for commerce to
flourish, to grow and become vigorous
with base currency as it is for the body
to grow with lurking poison in the blood -
He began to stutter and in a moment
he fell to the floor and was dead. What
killed him? A rupture of small blood
! vessel in the brocas convolution produced
his death. There have been many in
! stances of this.
said there were many centers. This
is the center of hearing, but while the
infant hears or sees itself it is mechanical.
The eye knows more than the opera
glass you look through and if for any
reason it's center in the back of the brain
is destroyed sight is gone. The child
by it's education and personality builds
; this portion of the brain from cell to cell.
This very point is the center of music.
If this center was destroyed by disease,
because of that diseased condition it
would destroy all sound of music in the
musicians brain, and the physicians will
tell you that it has been demonstrated
many times. I might go all over the
brain, center by center, and the same
thing would be true, but will not take
:, the time.
1 want to make this declaration:
Thought is not secreted; thought is the
result which comes from the mind and
| operates through the gray matter of the
