16 Evolution and Religion 



side, he rises at times to the height and dignity of soul, 

 an attribute which connects him with what we call the 

 divine in nature, thus showing his possible destiny. 

 Even his intelligence is subdivided into several factors, 

 one of which, imagination, runs away entirely at times 

 with the rest of the man, emotion, volition, instinct, 

 soul, memory, perception, reason and all. Even his 

 emotions are subdivided into several passions, one of 

 which, fear, gallops away in like manner at times with 

 the whole man. Hence, you see what a complex 

 creature you are dealing with. Any attempt to formu- 

 late a thoroughly rounded, complete philosophy of life 

 based on only one of man's faculties is doomed to 

 disappointment. It is what I call a guess at partial 

 truth. 



Emotion 



You remember how there had developed through 

 countless ages within this new animal, man, an intelli- 

 gent, reasoning, thinking mind. That was one side 

 of his nature. At the same time, possibly prior to 

 it, there was developing within man's mind another 

 side of his nature, an instinctive, unreasoning, loving 

 heart. What that heart may be in its inmost essence, 

 neither you nor I know, nor probably ever will know. 

 All we can say is that the entire effort of creation ap- 

 pears to have been, as in the case of man's brain, a 

 labor and a struggle until it has produced its equally 

 crowning glory, a being with a great, generous, loving 

 heart.
