Excerpt from The Soul of the Far East Who but is the daily dupe of his dressing glass, and complacently conceives himself to be a very different appearing person from what he is, forgetting that his right side has become his left, and vice verso Yet who, when by chance he catches sight in like manner of the face of a friend, can keep from smiling at the caricatures which the mirror's left-for-right reversal makes of the asymmetry of that friend's features, caricatures all the more grotesque for being utterly unsuspected by their innocent orig inal? Perhaps, could we once see our selves as others see us, our surprise in the case of foreign peoples might be'less pro nounced.

Excerpt from Gleanings in Buddha-Fields, Studies of Hand and Soul, in the Far East Faith absurd. Nay! In spite of Occidental reluctances, in spite of whatever you may think it expedient to say or not to say at a later time about the experience, you may very likely find yourself for a moment forced into the attitude of respect toward possibili ties. Mere cold reasoning will not help you far in the opposite direction. The evidence of the senses counts for little you know there are ever so many realities which can neither be seen nor heard nor felt, but which exist as forces, tremendous forces. Then again you cannot mock the conviction of forty millions of people while that conviction thrills all about you like the air, while conscious that it is pressing upon your psychical being just as the atmosphere presses upon your physical being.
