THE SOVEREIGN CURE.
Some writers on modern psychology have .ompkasised the fact tkat by tke repression of instincts a man may become ill, writes Mr Henry Houston Aitckison, in "Pkyckology Witkout Sigks." Tke cave-man^ if ke is unduly repressed, adds Mr Aitckison, may create trouble, and constan|:iy be skowing through the veneer of civilisation. • Tke opposite conception is also true. If a man represses kis ideals, and assumes a veneer of blase unbelief he may prcipitate a serious conflict whicb will only be resolved by discovering a worthy ideal and giviiig kimself to it. As Professor James — tke greatest figure in psychologieal medicine that America kas produced — says: "Tke sovereign cure for worry is religious faith. The turbulent billows' of tke fretful surface leavo tke deep parts of tke ocean undisturbed^ and to kim wko has a hold of vaster and more pennanent realities tke hourly vicissitudes of kis personal jjtstiny feem relatively jft^ignificaBt tfeingB." ^ ^ 1 iiwu.x ■■ r ' nri ^ -vTi- p— . jtei
