"Health and strength and goodness, no less than disease and vice and sin, are infectious and communicable. There are men and women so strong in faith, so resolute in purpose, so full of moral energy that virtue goes out from them. "And a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of waters in a dry place, as the shadow of a grat rock in a weary land." So we pass to the truth, the august and splendid truth, which underlies superstition. It is the truth of the unconcious influence. The greatest influence that men exert upon one another is for the most part exerted quite unconciously. It is the shadow of personality, of character. "What you are speaks so loudly to me," said Emerson, "that I cannot hear what you are saying." that is true of all of us. What we are is speaking so loudly, communicating news so plainly, that it quite discounts anything we may happen to be saying. It is true of the good, the bad, the mediocre, but it is true most greatly and most efficaciously of the good. What they are is forever speaking, forever influencing, forever casting, like Peter, this shadow of unconcious influence."
