198. THE MIND 



The distinguishing feature which differentiates man from 

 other animals is his mind. The more he uses his mind, along 

 the right direction, the less an animal he becomes. Never- 

 theless, since the brain is the organ of the mind, and since the 

 brain is a physical organ, the mind is necessarily affected by 

 changes in the body. 



If the organs of digestion are not performing their work 

 properly, the brain is temporarily affected and the person 

 becomes irritable. It is quite a question as to the true re- 

 sponsibility for his ill-nature, under these conditions. The 

 old saying that " the way to reach a man's heart is through 

 his stomach," contains as much physiological truth as it does 

 common sense. Unless the body is normal, the mind cannot 

 act as it would under more favorable circumstances. 



It must be remembered, however, that the mind can exert 

 an influence over the body, controlling it and refining it, 

 through education, to the highest ideals of mankind.
