This other phase is the art of giving the sort of mental comfort that is needed at the time.

GUNN, | Eleventh Commandment. | Text: “A new commandment I give unto you. that ye love one another.” John, xifi.34. | This has been called the eleventh commandment. Pulfill this command- ment and you no longer require the last six commandments of the deca- logue: Honor thy father and thy mother: thou shalt not kill: thou shalt not commit adultery; thou shalt not steal; thou shalt not bear false wit- ness: thou shalt not covet. All these things will come Aas a natural result of the love we bear toward one an- ! other, How can one do other than honor his father and mother, if he loves them? How could we think of killing | any one that we loved? Who would steal from those they love? If we love | our neighbor, what could induce us to | bear false witness against him? Or need to urge us not to covet what he has? It was of this Paul was thinking when he sald, “Love is the fulfilling of the law.” The same prineiple ap- | plies with regard to the first four com- mandments, which have to do with nur, relations to God. If we love God, we | | want no other gods besides Him. No| need to warn us against allowing graven | images to hide Him from us. No need | of telling us not to take His name in vain. No need of urging us to keep | the Sabbath as a day dedicated more | exclusively to the worship of God. Our | love for God will tmpel us naturally ! Love is the fulfilling of the law regarding both God and man. Christ recognized this principle in the new commandment He gave to His dis- | ciples—Love one another.

One of the oldest problems in psy- chology is that of the confessional. A man may be accused. guilty, and deny it; can you tell whether he i= lying? Can you reveal what he is bent on con- | cealing? One of the cldest methode is the ordeal. The torture chamber was a brutal method of extorting confession, | and often the vietims, even if innocent, preferred confession to further agony. The “third degree” is a relic of th> same kind of psychology. More humane was a method said to have been in common use in ancient China. Each suspect was made to| swallow a_handful of dry rice; the one | who couldn't do it bacause his excite- | ment dried up his saliva was pronounced | guilty. The test may disclose the most | nervous man rather than the guilty one, | vet the underlying idea is quite the | same as that which has inspired recent research in registering emotion. It has long been known that emotion | and the secretions are closely related. The parched throat of fear shows how | the salivary gland, which is constantly active to keep the linings of the mouth | moist, lowers its secretion under fear, | and the throat feels dry. Quite as familiar is the action of the sweat| glands. There is the profuse perspira- | tion not only of effort, but of excite- | ment, and there is the cold perspiration | of fear. | This suggested the id-a that if we | could only find a delicaie enough instru- | ment to register the slight changes in | the moisture of th> skin as caused by | the change in action of the sweat glands, we might have an emotional barometer.

Dr. David Wechsler of New York resports that when the test was made on a mathematician by s-t- ting before him a mathematical prob- lem, the instrument registered decidedly because that excited the mathematician: to you or me the problem mean nothing, and the needle would remain stationary. So one of the uses to which it is hoped the apparatus may be put is to measure your emotional excitability. whether you are rather sensitively built or not. tender-minded or tough-minded. A number of operatives were tested and it was found that the most skillful were the most sensitive. That suggests an application to vocational guidance. We must not expect too much of such tests.
