This organ is situated immediately above _Ideality_; and the faculty gives faith in spiritual agency, in what is beyond the sphere of human vision, and which nevertheless requires to be believed; it inspires a love of the marvellous, the wonderful, the grand; a seeking for extraordinary events even in the most unlikely concerns, and a tinging of common-place with the emotions of superstition and romance. In the end of man's tyranny, God prophesies through the mouth of Isaiah that "he will make all men drunk with the wine of astonishment." In ABUSE, this faculty leads into much error, it inspires a love of what is novel and marvellous, a tendency to believe in magic, witchcraft, and other unlawful and unchristian arts, and when uncontrolled by the higher sentiments, to the pursuit of occult subjects; when united with the moral sentiments and due perception and reflection, it searches deep into the truth, tests spiritual causes and prophecies by research and belief, considering that nothing is impossible to God and that His goodness is sufficient for all. 34. FAITH OR VENERATION. Situated in the middle of the coronal region of the brain; gives an innate disposition to religious truth; a veneration for things sacred; belief in the word of God, and hope in Christ Jesus; it is this innate principle that bids the savage bow down to stocks and stones, to graven idols, and the works of his own hands; it is this that inspires the missionaries of God's word, and leads others to bestow their wealth in furthering the good cause; and to pray for the time when the "knowledge of the Lord shall cover the earth, as the waters cover the sea;" when abused, this organ leads to superstition, an undue reverence for the _material_ portion of Christianity, to the depreciation of the _spiritual_, thus producing fanaticism, fear, and mystery; this organ requires to be guided by conscientiousness, and the light of God's word, as the only true guide to religion, as composed of its elements, Faith, Hope and Charity. 35. HOPE.
