464 Life and Tinmortality. 
matter by Deity, but that subtle principle, termed mind, 
which has attained such a wonderful growth in his civilized 
condition, is but the outcome of the mind of a long line of 
life antecedent to his appearance on the globe. His moral 
nature was similarly acquired, and most probably in the 
manner already explained. Palzolithic man, like the Aus- 
tralian of to-day, was, as has been shown, but little superior in 
intelligence to some of the animals with whom he was con- 
temporaneous. He lived the life of the mere animal, and as 
an animal could be said to have had no preéminence above 
a beast. Like the latter, he was a living, breathing frame, or 
body of life; a “vg, but not an everfiving, soul. In time, 
as conditions became favorable, he passed zvto the moral 
stage of his being, but not without increased intellectuality, 
and would thus have continued, but going on and adding to 
his mental and moral possessions, had not Deity, in the

spirit,” put on incorruptibility and immortality of body, or 
he will be physically incapable of retaining the honor, glory 
and power of the kingdom forever, or even during Christ’s 
reign of a thousand years upon earth.

apostle Paul says, “there is @ natural body, and there is a 
spiritual body, but he does not content himself with simply 
declaring this truth, but goes further and proves it by quot- 
ing the language of Moses, saying, “ for so it is written, the 
first man Adam was made into @ “ving soul ;” and then 
adding, “the last Adam zxzzo a spirit giving life.’ And in 
another place, speaking of the latter, he says of Him, “ now 
the Lord is the spirit. And we all, with unveiled face, 
beholding as in a mirror, the glory of the Lord, are changed 
into His image from glory into glory, as by the Lord the
