"A preacher is expected to set a good example," I said. "He ain't a regular preacher," said Mr. Main, rather quickly. "He's just kind of around in religious work." "What do you mean?"
The metaphysician puts it this way: "The soul of man is unveiling, and soon we shall know each other in Truth." The religionist has long looked for a time when, as prophesied by St. Paul, who was above all things a spiritually-conscious person, "we shall see each other face to face; not as now through a glass, darkly."
Looked at from the practical science standpoint, the evidences that mental activity can and does produce bodily effects are so clear and numerous as to admit of no dispute. The world has been slow to acknowledge the mastery of mind over body. This is because the world long persisted in looking at the question from the point of view of the philosopher and religionist.

He had a vague idea that if a lady happened to be a church member you were somehow or other protected against her. Mrs. MacGregor was orthodox enough to satisfy the most rigid religionist. Mr.
This last idea has been worked out by Mr. Andrew Lang, who judging by his book on The Making of Religion should be classed as a Comparative Religionist rather than as a Comparative Mythologist.
