it is conscience which, searches, and pronounces its judg- 
ment on our inward moral state. Enlightened “ by wisdom 
from on high,” conscience is the candle of the Lord. Man's 
spirit is here said to do what it is the office of conscience to 
do. Is not the inference clear : conscience is the organ of 
the spirit? 
68. It is by the pneuma that God is worshipped. “ They 
that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” 
“ We are the circumcision,” says Paul, “ who worship God 
in the spirit.” Again, “ Whom I serve with my spirit in the 
gospel of His Son.” The faculty by which we worship God is 
that by which we know Him. We can only worship Him as 
He reveals Himself to us. It was in spirit David called Christ 
Lord, because it was to his spirit He was revealed. 
69. It is remarked by Heard, in his book already referred 
to, that, while there is the same relation between nephesh and 
ruach in the Old Testament as between psyche and pneuma in 
the New, with the progress of Divine Revelation these latter 
words acquire a deeper signification. This is specially true 
in relation to the pneuma. This deeper signification is, per- 
haps, most apparent in the use of the adjective pneumatical. 
Gifts for proclaiming and expounding New Testament truths 
are pneumatical gifts, as coming from the Divine Pneuma 
and being received by the pneuma in us. By these pneu- 
matical gifts we “ sow pneumatical things.” The law is 
pneumatical, because it acts upon the conscience of our 
pneuma. The pneumatical man, because of the divine illumi- 
nation of the pneuma, judgeth all things. Hence, says Paul 
to the Corinthians, “ If any man thinketh himself to be a 
prophet, or pneumatical, let him ackuowledge that the things 
which I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.” 
The blessings of salvation, as received by the pneuma, are 
pneumatical blessings ; and the comprehension of them nneu- 
matical understanding. 
/0. Tne songs of praise, which are acceptable to God, are 
pneumatical songs sung by the pneuma. Those qualified to 
deal with the conscience of one surprised by temptation, and 
to restore him, are pneumatical men. 
71. All this testimony to the fact of the conscience and 
moral nature being in the pneuma is strengthened by striking 
contrasts. The psychical man, in the New Testament, is the 
unrenewed man, in opposition to the spiritual or renewed. 
“The psychical man receiveth not the things of the spirit of 
God : for they are foolishness unto him : neither can he know 
them, because they are spiritually discerned.” The wisdom 
from beneath, as opposed to that which comes from above, is
