October 19, 1930    Mr. McCay Had a Most Definite Idea in Making This Picture, and Tells You of It in His Own Words. What Does the Drawing Mean To You as You First Look at It? A Great Crowd of Human Beings Is Shown Each Carrying His Soul, as a Thing Outside of Himself, to Be Sold or Traded. The Great Majority Go Toward the Barren Hill at the Left, a Few Only to the Temple of LIght, Where the Mind Finds Peace.
   If the Sould COULD Actually Be Separated from the Body, and Traded in Open Market, What Strange Bargains Would Be Driven! Bargains Strange Enough Are Driven as It Is, and Many That Sell the Spirit for Trash, Don’t Know it.
