the same paucity of ideas, the same tendency to hover about 

 one word or phrase with senseless repetitions. One illustration 

 will serve, ex uno discite ommia : 



" Ah, will ye despise, will ye despise the blood of Jesus ? Will 

 ye pass by the cross, the cross of Jesus ? Oh ! oh ! oh ! will ye 

 crucify the Lord of glory ? Will ye put him to an open shame ? 

 He died, he died, he died for you. He died for you. Believe ye, 

 believe ye the Lamb of God. Oh, he was slain, he was slain, and 

 he hath redeemed you ; he hath redeemed you ; he hath redeemed 

 you with his blood! Oh, the blood, the blood, the blood that 

 speaketh better things than the blood of Abel which crieth 

 mercy for you now, mercy for you now ! Despise not his love, 

 despise not his love, despise not his love ! 



" Oh, grieve him not ! Oh, grieve not your Father ! Rest in 

 his love. Oh, rejoice in your Father's love ! Oh, rejoice in the 

 love of Jesus, in the love of Jesus, in the love of Jesus, for it 

 passeth knowledge ! Oh, the length ! oh, the breadth ! oh, the 

 height ! oh, the depth, of the love of Jesus ! Oh, it passeth knowl- 

 edge ! Oh, rejoice in the love of Jesus ! O sinner, for what, for

 basis or core for a long series of syllables. I believe all these 

 cases to be analogous to that of my friend B , and I see no rea- 

 son for ascribing them to subconscious activities of any kind. 



THE GENIUS AND HIS ENVIRONMENT.

W"ITH this outcome, we may return to the genius. And the 

 first requirement is that we state the social man in the fewest 

 terms, in order that we may then judge the genius with refer- 

 ence to the sane social man, the normal socius. What he is we 

 have seen. He is a person ivho learns to judge by the judgments 

 of society. What, then, shall we say of the genius from this point 

 of view ? Can the hero- worshiper be right in saying that the 

 genius teaches society to judge ; or shall we say that the genius, 

 like other men, must learn to judge by the judgments of society ? 

 The most fruitful point of view is, no doubt, that which con- 

 siders the genius a variation. And unless we do this it is evi- 

 dently impossible to get any theory which will bring him into
