124 HEREDITY. 



spiritual realities. But in the 'yon-side' each human 

 being will be a living art-work, and the life of com- 

 munion among the saints will be an eternal evolution 

 of holy art-life. 



" Wherever the soul may will to be, there it will 

 be able to be. Hence the body will not be a prison, 

 but, on the contrary, a free home, for the soul. 



" The body will be the perfect servant of the soul : 

 hence it will be capable of instantly following, and 

 keeping pace with, all the outgoings of imagination 

 and thought. The law of love, whereby we live in 

 those on whom we fix our heart, will be perfectly re- 

 flected in the body. The indwelling of soul in soul 

 will be also an indwelling of body in body. And in 

 this each will find his due place — so that, even as 

 the church of Christ here forms but one body with 

 many members, thus also, hereafter saved humanity 

 will form but one organic body, whereof we shall all 

 be members, each in his place. And of this organic 

 whole, the head, the focal point, the sun, will be 

 Christ himself. As our souls will eternally live of 

 his life, so our bodies will eternally shine in the radi- 

 ance of his glorified body. 



" Our bodies are not mere caducous husks, to be 

 thrown off when the soul is ripe. But nature and 

 the kingdom of God, the rational soul and the hu- 

 man body, belong normally and essentially together. 

 When the one is transfigured, the other is transfig- 

 ured. And when, at the goal of moral development, 

 they are risen to integral unity, then they persist, 

 through eternity, as intimately united as form and 

 substance, light and color."
