s independent of reason, yet, unperverted, in harmony
with it; is quite spiritual-minded, and as it were "led by the spirit."
For combinations, see large: p. 143.

AVERAGE.--Has some spiritual premonitions and guidings, yet they are not
always sufficiently distinct to secure their being followed; but, when
followed, they lead correctly; sees this light within, and feels what is
true and best, with tolerable distinctness, and should cultivate this
faculty by following its light: p. 141.

MODERATE.--Has some, but not very distinct perception of spiritual things;
rather lacks faith; believes mainly from evidence and little from
intuition; with large Causality, says "Prove it," and takes no man's
say-so unless he gives good _reasons_: p. 144.

SMALL.--Perceives spiritual truths so indistinctly as rarely to admit
them; is not guided by faith, because so weak; like disbelieving Thomas,
must see the fullest PROOF before it believes; has very little credulity,
and doubts things of a superhuman origin or nature; has no premonitions,
and disbelieves in them: p. 145.

VERY SMALL.--Has no spiritual guidings or superstitions: p. 146.

intolerance, etc.

LARGE.--Experiences an awe of God and things sacred; loves to adore the
Supreme Being, especially in his works; feels true devotion, fervent
piety, and love of divine things; takes great delight in religious
exercises; has much respect for superiority; regards God as the centre of
hopes, fears, and aspirations; with large Hope and Spirituality, worships
him as a spirit, and hopes to be with and like him; with large Ideality,
contemplates his works with rapture and ecstacy; with large Sublimity,
adores him as infinite in every thing; with large reasoning organs, has
clear, and, if the faculties are unperverted, correct ideas of the Divine
character and government, and delights to reason thereon; with large
Philoprogenitiveness, adores him as a friend and father; and with large
Benevolence, for his infinite _goodness_, etc.; with large Causality
added, as securing the happiness of sentient beings by a wise institution
of _law_, and as the great first CAUSE of all thing
