Im Thurn's is, roughly stated, the usual theory of anthropologists. We shall demonstrate, contrary to the opinion of Mr. Spencer, Mr. Huxley, and even Mr. Tylor, that the Supreme Being, and, in one case at least, the casual sprites of savage faith, are active moral influences.
Thus it appears that the efforts of the peay-man were directed partly to the separation of his own spirit from his body, and partly to the separation of the spirit from the body of his patient, and that in this way spirit holds communion with spirit. But Mr. Im Thurn's headache was not alleviated!
'None of those in any way involves the attributes of a god. The Ancient of Days, Our Father in Sky-land, Our Maker, do rather convoy the sense of God to a European mind. Mr. Mr. This remark dropped out at a discussion of Mr. Im Thurn's paper, and clearly demonstrated that even a very low creed 'makes for righteousness. Probably few who have followed the facts given here will agree with Mr.
Im Thurn's description of the Guianese be correct, everything we know of human nature, and of evolution, assures us that the Father, or Maker, or Ancient of Days came first; the ghost-gods, last. The Zulus are the great standing type of an animistic or ghost-worshipping race without a God. The evidence, collected by Dr. Callaway, is honest, but confused.
Im Thurn's theory that 'Our Maker, 'Our Father, 'The Ancient One of the Heaven, is merely an idealised human ancestor. He falls naturally into his place with the other high gods of low savages. But we need much more information on the subject than Mr. Im Thurn was able to give. His evidence is all the better, because he is a loyal follower of Mr. Tylor. And Mr.
"There's a love of a hat at Thurn's," she was saying softly, "if only we can get her to wear it. It's just her type." And Laura drew an anxious breath. "Anything," she added, "to escape that hideous heavy crepe." Roger slightly raised his brows. He noticed a faint delicious perfume that irritated him suddenly.
Im Thurn's 'Indians of Guiana, and the consequent confusion of dreaming and waking experiences, are certain facts. Wilson says the same of some negroes, and Mr. Spencer illustrates from the confusion of mind in dreamy children. They, we know, are much more addicted to somnambulism than grown-up people. I am unaware that spontaneous somnambulism among savages has been studied as it ought to be.
Im Thurn, 'a belief has arisen, but very gradually, in higher spirits, and eventually in a Highest Spirit, and, keeping pace with the growth of these beliefs, a habit of reverence for, and worship of spirits.... The Indians of Guiana know no God. As another example of Mr. Im Thurn's hypothesis that God is a late development from the idea of spirit may be cited Mr.
