It is now coming to be recognised that every emotion has a corresponding effect

on the body; it may not be so great as be noticeable, but it is real.

Professor James says: The fact is that. there is no art of consciousness whatever, be it sensation, feeling, or idea, which does not directly and, of itself. tend to dis- charge into some motor effect.

That beautiful hymn, num bered 284 in our book, which begins My God my Father while I stray and of which the refrain Thy will be done," has been to many a message of trust and confort in times of heavy sorrow (and such times must come to every life), but it is apt to strengthen the idea that the will of God is a heavy burden which we have to bear, instead of regarding God's will as a subject, før joy and rejoicing. » The will of God as done in heaven E.
