ABSTRACT

THERE is considerable dispute among many persons as to whether or not religion can contribute anything toward the stable working of the human mind. There are many others, however, who feel that psychological training is absolutely necessary for the progressive ministers of religion so that they will be able to help the unhappy conditions of their people. Let us consider the origin of mental disturbances to determine if religion, properly understood and practiced, can stabilize the minds of men and lead to real satisfaction and happiness in life.
