...left of it. A dot was suddenly shown in one of these positions by the dropping of a small screen placed before it, and the subject then endeavored to strike it as quickly and accurately as possible. The time was then secured in thousandths of a second, and the error of touching was calculated in millimeters. The following table shows the time for the two hands in these different positions...
There is one illusion, a fundamental error in all religion, which is that in the relation between God and man, man does all the work,- that man has to find God. St. Paul's correction stands against this; he shows us that God is about us everywhere, helping and aiding us with His universal experience.

...screen is suddenly dropped and the subject strikes as quickly and accurately as possible a white spot in the centre of the carriage. The time from the dropping of the screen to the hitting of the dot is measured in hundredths of seconds by a pendulum chronometer and the error of the blow to the right or left of the center, is registered automatically. This apparatus makes it possible to test two qualifications most necessary for a good boxer, fencer, football or tennis player, that is, quickness of sight and accuracy of motor response...

The only serious mistake can unfortunately be laid to the charge of no one in particular; but the unknown author of "A Poet" is sadly in error when, in his vain struggle to write verse, he says, "My words my servants are." To make this in any way credible, it would have to be added that they serve him but poorly...
