364 NATURE AND MAN. 



"with volition, and by inevitable consequence, with motive, with 

 '■'■intellect, and with all those attributes of mind in which personality 

 " consists." 



As a physiologist, I most fully recognize the fact that the 

 physical force exerted by the body of man is not generated de novo 

 by his will, but is derived from the oxidation of the constituents 

 of his food. But holding it as equally certain, because the fact is 

 capable of verification by every one as often as he chooses to make 

 tlie experiment, that, in the performance of every volitional move- 

 ment, that physical force is put in action, directed, and controlled, 

 by the individual personality or Ego, I deem it just as absurd and 

 illogical to affirm that there is no place for a God in Nature, 

 originating, directing, and controlling its forces by his will, as it 

 would be to assert that there is no place in Man's body for his 

 conscious Mind.
