7. 132 CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. apply these principles to the elucidation of the point in hand, of the Reason as a moral power, or the " Spiritual Reason, " as we call it, in opposition to the " Understanding, " or, as in this treatise we should choose to call it, the " Animal Mind. " Now taking it for granted that there are these three divisions of "Body, " "Animal mind, " and "Spirit, " man has the three, the beasts have the two. Whatsoever then we find in the beasts of mental power, that is in man... also, this may be considered as belonging to them in virtue of the "Animal Mind ;" and in man it is not as Spiritual, but as Animal, but those powers which man has and they have not, these may be considered as peculiarly spiritual. The powers, then, on the one side of this line, we con- sider to belong to the "Animal Mind, " the others to belong to the "Spiritual Reason. " Now we do not ask this matter to go upon speculation, we are content that it should go upon experiment. And we say this upon the best authority that, acccording to the experiments of the best natural philosophers, there is no operation of the mind that may not in kind (we do not say in degree, ) be traced in the Animals, save only moral ideas.
