---

These Yankee cultists fondly believe that they have but to "switch on" the divine wireless and they will immediately hear that mental voice of God which has eluded the cleverest philosophers down through the centuries. Their teachers are worse, for they spend so much of their time teaching others how to become perfect that they fail to find time to perform this admirable operation for themselves. As a rule God's voice usually flatters their personal importance and puffs up their vanity, if he does not straightaway charge them with the mission of saving all mankind.
