famous Unitarian radi-cal of three-quarters of a century ago,tells usthat when he was a very small child he saw inthe garden a tiny tortoise.He raised a stick tocrush the harmless creature,when he felt hiswrist seized as by an invisible hand,and a voicefrom nowhere forbade the deed he was aboutto do.  \nmay  \nThis,Parker believed,was his first experiencewith Conscience.As far as he could recall,hehad never been warned of the cruelty of killingtortoises.The restraining hand and the admon-ishing voice seemed to him an experience withoutan antecedent.A new element,Conscience,hadasserted itself within him,and ever after wasthe controller of his conduct.Through contumc-ly and rejection by his fellow-Unitarians,he wentlater,because he followed the promptings of hisConscience.He was one of the bravest menour courageous clan has ever produced,andthough we disavowed him once,we glory in himnow.  \nWhat is the explanation of Parker's childhoodexperience?He appears to have been interestedin only one side of it,and asks why he felt himselfrestrained from his intention.One who readshis account of it now is equally curious as towhy he first felt the impulse to kill the tortoise.If the restraining impulse came from God,didthe killing impulse come from the devil?Or didboth of them arise as inferences from some past  \nexperience,forgotten,but still influential?Wasthe intent to kill a reflex from the old huntingdays of the race,and the restraining hand andforbidding voice an unconscious deduction fromthe tender kindness with which he himself hadbeen surrounded?A student of child psychologynowadays would doubtless offer the second ex-planation.We tend now to refer the promptingsand the inhibitions human beings feel to the phy-sical structure of the organism,its hereditaryload,and the responses it has already made to thestimuli of its environment.The older hypothesisof a divine interference is less relied upon than itwas even in Parker's day.  \nConscience is one of the Great Common Ex-periences that human beings share.We maysafely assume that every person here has hadintimate acquaintance with it.We may be equal-ly sure that the same is true of any other groupof persons who may chance to be assembled any-where in this city.If we were to step aboardan ocean
