Excerpt from Personality: Human and Divine The one theory would make matter, ruled and guided by abstract law, the source of all organized existences. These beings could thus be really and substantially nothing but mate rial. What are called mental, moral, or spirit ual faculties are, according to this theory, sim ply modes of material existence manifested through certain physical organs. The other theory would make spirit and matter distinct, and the power by which they are guided and ruled a personal agency. Matter it would make subordinate to spirit, and therefore that personal agency is conceived as a supreme spirit.
