Guy, in The Contemporary Review, The Head and the Heart. What is known by the head only and not by the heart also, does not become really part of our life. Even it great thoughts arise most often in the heart, they must go round by the head, or if the order is reversed, at any rate both are needed. But we are only too apt to omit such superâ€" rational things as love, laughter, sorâ€" row, anger, courage, reverence, symâ€" pathy, imagination, all elemental parts of human life. So the appeal is for & balanced collaboration of man‘s faculties, under the guidance of reaâ€" son as the final arbiter. In this way reason, operating on experience, will become a sufficient guide to truth and controller of our destiny, without reâ€" pressing the richness of our nature to the system of aliiances and prepaâ€" rations for war, thecproblems of neuâ€" trality and selfdef©«,. within the Emâ€" pire would become infinitely more complex and might become insoluble. â€"â€"Rt.
