Step by step Science has advanced of late to the declaration that man
_thinks all over_ his body, or at least experiences those reflected
sensations or emotions which are so strangely balanced between
intellectual sense and sensation that we hardly know where or how to
class them. "The sensitive _plexi_ of our whole organism are all
either isolated or thrown into simultaneous vibration when acted on by
Thought." So the Will may be found acting unconsciously as an emotion
or instinct, or developed with the highest forms of conscious
reflection. Last of all we find it, probably as the result of all
associated functions or powers, at the head of all, their Executive
president. But _is_ it "the exponent of correlated forces?" There
indeed doctors differ.

and vague. Now if a man could thus _in-will_ himself to good or moral
purpose, he would assume a new position in life. We all admit that
most human beings have defects or faults of which they would gladly be
freed (however incorrigible they _appear_ to be), but they have not
