    The lower part gives sense of the novel and marvellous, a disposi- tion to amplify and magnify. The middle part gives belief and the disposition to adopt untried measures, trust in the unseen and impersonal. The upper part of the organ gives a sense of the spiritual, and eonfidence in partially-developed truths; the medium of inspiration. VERY LARGE, 7.—Have strong intuitive perceptions of what is right and best; you have faith in spiritual monitions, and are most likely to take the true course when you allow yourself to be guided b what you nee feel to be the right way; have unbounded fai and trust; also belief in spiritual guidance. Lara@ek, 6.—Have a large measure of faith; an internal conscious- ness of right, duty, truth, falsehood, and what is best; will love to meditate on spiritual subjects, and will think many natural thinge are supernatural. Fuu., 5.—Are lacking in the ground-work of faith; you have a good share of spiritual feeling and considerable intuitive inspiration, but do not always allow yourself to be guided by the premonitions which would lead you aright; you desire to believe in all truths, but you are sometimes beset by doubts. AVERAGE, 4.—Are not destitute of the light within; you have some spiritual monitions, and are not inclined to disregard the guidance of the internal senses, but your intuitions are not always sufficiently distinct to insure your full confidence. MODERATE, 3.—The spiritual part of your nature is not so in- fluential as would be desirable; you have rather indistinct percep- tions of spiritual things, yet are open to conviction; are more in- terested in matters material. SMALL, 2.—Have very weak perception of spiritual truths; are con- vinced only with difficulty; will believe nothing till you see facts; are apt to reject new things without examination. VERY SMALL, 1.—Are sceptical; believe little else than your senses; will only trust on evidence. To cULTIVATE.—Avoid everything that tends to materialism; never deny the wonderful and mysterious because you cannot understand them; let your mind be open to receive new truths. To RESTRAIN.—Dwell more upon the realities of life and practical things, and remember what science has done with the superstition of the Middle Ages. VENERATION. Aspiration; Adoration; Sense of Holiness; Respect for Superiority and Greatness, Age and Antiquity; Filial Love; Dependence; Dis- position to Serve and Obey. Excrss—Idolatry; Spiritual Servility and Undue Deference. DEFICIENCY—Want of Respect and Reverence. LocaTION—At the centre portion of the coronal brain, in front of Firmuoess. It has three divisions. ; The back part gives the love of old relics, old ruins, old forms and customs. The central part gives the desire to adore, to venerate, to worship a Supreme Being; aspiration towards the holy and sacred. The fore part gives regard for superiors, deference and respect for the aged and great, filial love.
