THE REV. W. W. ENGLISHES REPLY. 
I desire to mate a few remarks upon two or three points in the speeches 
and criticisms on my paper. 
The Place of Eeason.-I think Mr. Bow has put reason out of its proper 
place in regard to the Christian religion, and, if he will forgive me saying 1 , 
he has also put it out of its proper place .in ratiocination w «® e a 
words “the Pneuma is a foundation quite incapable of bearing P ^ 
structure which we mean when we speak of what is holy and just and goo 
and insists that it is a “ strictly logical consequence to say tha > CM bemg 
Himself Pneuma, according to my statement, would be 
nor good.” X am not aware of any logical rules whic J J 
reasoning from man’s tripartite nature to what is true of God, the Great Spmt- 
I think there is one logical rule which forbids this, or rather convicts it of toe 
charge of fallaciousness. What I maintain is that the term ^ ’ ^han 
good, as regards man, refer to what is psychical and ethical ratter tha 
pneumatical and rational, not meaning of cause that Pneuma has no 
to do with holiness, justice, and’ goodness, but tint P. ^ 
Pneuma is the foundation of these. The sentimenUl theo^ conscmnce 
implies priority of feeling, not feeling to the exclusion of reason, m its 
excise I thought I had guarded myself sufficiently against this mism er| 
pretationof my words in section 20, where I say ^r. Bow 
fill &c but is not the basis of either religion or moral y* 
mom Lunate in convicting me of a “ misquotation,” for X t^ejuote 
one passage and I another. Nor yet can I admit that 
ladies “badly ’’where I give them, psychologically speaking, their p p 
place. Indeed when I say they are more religious than men, because > of 1 the 
psychological propensities, I do them simple justice. Because St. James 
uses Psyche in an “ unfavourable” sense, I hope Mr. Bow did not mean it o 
be inferred that therefore the ladies, having Psyche m predommaxL^, cou^ 
not be more religious than men, as I had stated, Nor did I ttgo* 
“Adam’s rib” in favour of anything distinctive of woman, but fiom Or passag 
in Genesis, coupled with St. Paul’s statement in 1 Cor. xi. LL^discover 
evidently escaped Mr. Bow’s notice. Season, Mr. Bow admits, ca “°* 
everything/’ but contends that when God has revealed a thing 
only thing that is capable of dealing with it.” I deny the proposition entirely,
