is and secondly, that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. 
I will only mention one other point -Mr. English says that the ethical part 
of man’s nature and his affections are to be found in the Psyche. He 
does not define the body ; hut there is one passage in the Scriptures the 
beginning of the 12th chapter of the Epistle to the Romans-to which I 
should like to call his attention. It runs thus “ I beseech you, therefore, 
brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, 
holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. _ This passage 
alone proves that the language of Scripture on this point is not scientific 
but popular. (Cheers.) . _ T . , eQTr 
Rev C Graham.— I will not occupy much time in what I have to say 
upon this paper, as I shall shortly have the honour of bringing a paper of my 
own before the Institute on the tripartite nature of man. But, in order 
corroborate what Mr. Row has stated, I will quote one Pa®agewkich 
I think bears directly upon the subject This is lffe eternal, chat they 
might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast 
sent.” “That they might know Thee, the only true God. Without a 
knowledge of God, and a knowledge of Christ, as the expression o w a 
God there is no salvation. With regard to Mr. Gosse’s view, that in un- 
regenerate man there is no spirit- that the spirit is something 
receives when converted and regenerated, -I may quote a passage which will 
not harmonize with that opinion. It is the word of Elihu, who dtod .tom 
wisdom (Job xxxii. 8) There is a spirit in man, and 
neshamah ) of the Almighty hath given them understanding 
snirit in man as man-in universal man. There is a spirit in man ihat is 
not restricted to regenerate man, and the inspiration of the Almighty hatn 
given them, universal man, understanding. I must say ^‘ ^re m .ho^h 
in this paper of Mr. English’s ; there is research, and there is r.a.omng 
in it ; it is not obscured with metaphysics ; Mr. English gives ls . vle ™ ' 
the whole distinctly and clearly, but I must say that I take exception to the 
main positions. I quote a passage from the first section of his pape . 
“Takinv the New Testament as a text-book in regard to the sc! *”“ 
mv servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well 
pleased.” That is God who speaks,— “my beloved in whom my syc 
well pleased.” 
Mr Row -That is from the Old Testament. St. Matthew is referring to
