DWELLING-PLACE OF THE MIND 21 



and spirit. The order, also, as thus arranged, seems to 

 us to express the sequence of evolutionary events or 

 processes culminating in the production of complete man- 

 hood thus, the preliminary material foundation is laid 

 and the superstructure built up by the initial molecular 

 disposition and final organic arrangements respectively 

 characterising the origin and growth of man, while mind 

 is evolved from, and consists in, the exercise of energy 

 or force, through, and by, the molecular and organic 

 arrangements of matter, the resultant living, acting, and 

 reasoning binary product becoming inter-penetrated, and 

 ultimately dominated by an " indwelling spirit," or absol- 

 utely non-material and ultra-mental energising principle 

 or essence which, from its non-possession of material and 

 finite characteristics, may be regarded as continually 

 existent and consequently immortal. We therefore con- 

 clude inverting the order that spirit dominates mind, 

 and that mind dominates matter in the economy of life 

 and action in other words, matter forms the dwelling, 

 mind the occupying tenant, and spirit the owner and 

 disposer in the destiny of the human microcosm so far 

 as that destiny is wrought out on the lines of individual 

 responsibility.
