, as most of us have been from earliest childhood, to look to the outward things about us for pleasure and profit; to watch the body lest it become diseased and therefore troublesome; to fear the slightest touch of pain lest it develop into something "serious;" to be tucked up and coddled on the slightest provocation by our anxious parents,—it is small wonder that the visible and tangible things, of which we hear much, seem real, and that the invisible things, of which we hear but little, seem visionary and unreal.
