While in this staP s no effort has been successful to ' arouse him and frequently he 1 passes into a rigid state whei 1 animation is suspended and hi* ' voice stops. When by rubbir? * he relaxes, he starts off exactlv where he stopped, even if this (s i in the middle of a sentenc^. ; Though he lies with eyes closed, - he "preaches" as though a con 4 gregation is before him and * quotes scripture accurately. 1 When the sermon is concluded L' he passes into a natural sleep, ? and if aroused knows nothing ot his strange operatians. When . awake he can not quote a pass I age of scripture and is unable to s read and is not especially religJ f ious. x s (Mr. A.
