 of pain determines the volition. If I should choose to let the weight fall and break the china, it would be because the attraction of some pleasure, greater than the pain caused by the loss of the china, determined my volition in favor of dropping it. Out of the grip of this necessity we cannot escape, and we shall find later how important is its bearing on the treatment of sin and crime.

A will determined by sensation and intellect must be limited by their limits, and its so-called "strength" must depend not only on the strength of each considered separately, but even more on their strength in relation to each other. Take the case of a man in whom sensative ability is strong and intellectual ability weak; he will feel keenly all impressions from without, at the moment of their making, but his memory of past impressions, his recognition and memory of the results accruing from his response to them, his judgment on the total of pleasure or pain growing out of his response, all these will be small and feeble. Such a man will be swayed chiefly by the circumstances immediately surrounding him, and will be at the mercy of any strong impulse from without; in ordinary parlance he is a "weak man". But take the case of a man in whom intellect is stronger than sensation; who remembers clearly the pain which resulted from some previous action, and in whom the representative are stronger than the presentative feelings; such a man will be guided by reason and judgment rather than by impulse, and, surrounded by temptation, the memory of his past experience will control his volition, and men will say of him, "his will is strong". The strong will is determined chiefly by intellect; the weak will by feeling.

The predominance of sensative over intellectual ability is characteristic both of the undeveloped brain of a high type, and of the congenitally deficient brain. Sensation being prior to intellect in evolution, we should naturally expect to find it predominant in the young brain, whether young as regards the evolution of the race, or young as regards the evolution of the individual. In the child this predominance is marked; its actions follow the hasty impulses of its variable sensations, it is headlong, impatient, lacking in self-control; education develops the intellect and gradually transforms the impulsive unconsidering child into the well-balanced, thoughtful,
