ught. As analogies go, that is a pretty good analogy of what I have done; you can understand now a little of what I felt as I stood here one evening; it was a summer evening, and the valley looked much as it does now; I stood here, and saw before me the unutterable, the unthinkable gulf that yawns profound between two worlds, the world of matter and the world of spirit; I saw the great empty deep stretch dim before me, and in that instant a bridge of light leapt from the earth to the unknown shore, and the abyss was spanned. You may look in Browne Faber’s book, if you like, and you will find that to the present day men of science are unable to account for the presence, or to specify the functions of a certain group of nerve-cells in the brain. That group is, as it were, land to let, a mere waste place for fanciful theories. I am not in the position of Browne Faber and the specialists, I am perfectly instructed as to the possible functions of those nerve-centers in the scheme of things.  THAT BOUNDS OUR THOUGHT AS ANALOGIES GO THAT IS A PRETTY GOOD ANALOGY OF WHAT I HAVE DONE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND NOW A LITTLE OF WHAT I FELT AS I STOOD HERE ONE EVENING IT WAS A SUMMER EVENING AND THE VALLEY LOOKED MUCH AS IT DOES NOW I STOOD HERE AND SAW BEFORE ME THE UNUTTERABLE THE UNSPEAKABLE GULF THAT YAWNS PROFOUND BETWEEN TWO WORLDS THE WORLD OF MATTER AND THE WORLD OF SPIRIT I SAW THE GREAT EMPTY DEEP STRETCHED DIM BEFORE ME AND IN THAT INSTANT A BRIDGE OF LIGHT LEAPED FROM THE EARTH TO THE UNKNOWN SHORE AND THE ABYSS WAS SPANNED YOU MAY LOOK IN BROWN FABRE'S BOOK IF YOU LIKE AND YOU WILL FIND THAT TO THE PRESENT DAY MEN OF SCIENCE ARE UNABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR THEIR PRESENCE OR TO SPECIFY THE FUNCTIONS OF A CERTAIN GROUP OF NERVE CELLS IN THE BRAIN THAT GROUP IS AS IT WERE LAND TO LET A MERE WASTE PLACE FOR FANCIFUL THEORIES I AM NOT IN THE POSITION OF BROWN FAVOUR AND THE SPECIALIST I AM PERFECTLY INSTRUCTED AS TO THE POSSIBLE FUNCTIONS OF THOSE NERVE CENTRES IN THE SCHEME OF THINGS
