116 HEEEDITY. 



mental or moral. Ho suspects that the physical may 

 be shown to be antecedent to the moral, and that, as 

 antecedents, they are properly to be regarded as the 

 cause of the moral. At the last analysis, even Hux- 

 ley is ready to attempt a physical explanation of 

 moral phenomena. Harrison objects to that. He 

 thinks the physical side is the unimportant one in 

 man, if either side is unimportant ; but Huxley 

 thinks the physical side the important one. They 

 put rival emphasis on these different sides of the 

 lower half of man, and do not appear to understand 

 how different the outlook is the moment we rise to 

 the German point of view, and make man to consist 

 of three things instead of two. 



Here we have three wheels, — a large one, a small- 

 er within the first, and a smallest within the second. 

 Suppose that they touch each other by cogs. Of 

 course, if they all mash into each other, when you 

 roll the inner wheel you will roll the second, and in 

 that act you will roll the outer. In the reverse 

 direction, you may roll the outer, and you will roll 

 the second, and so the inner wheel. Delitzsch and 

 Schoberlein and their schools think of man as spirit, 

 soul, and body. The spirit is the innermost thing in 

 the holy of holies. The soul is something midway 

 between spirit and body ; nevertheless it is subject 

 to influences from both the soul and the body. In- 

 fluences can go from the outside to the innermost 

 of man, and from the innermost to the outermost. 

 When a man is filled with lofty moral emotion, we 

 find visible effects produced in his countenance.
