  	    Anatomy finds a necessity for nerves to convey the man-
15	date of mind to muscle and so cause action; but what does
  	anatomy say when the cords contract and be-	                    Anatomy
  	come immovable? Has mortal mind ceased	                            and mind 
18	speaking to them, or has it bidden them to be impotent? 
  	Can muscles, bones, blood, and nerves rebel against mind
  	in one instance and not in another, and become cramped
21	despite the mental protest? 
  	    Unless muscles are self-acting at all times, they are
  	never so, — never capable of acting contrary to mental
24	direction. If muscles can cease to act and become rigid
  	of their own preference, — be deformed or symmetrical,
  	as they please or as disease directs, — they must be self-
27	directing. Why then consult anatomy to learn how mor-
  	tal mind governs muscle, if we are only to learn from
  	anatomy that muscle is not so governed?
