they are to have their whole spirit and soul and body preserved unto the 
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The spirit, and soul, and body are 
enter into the consummation of bliss. 
Mr. Graham. — I contend for that in my paper. 
Mr Hanson.— Now Mr. James contended that the soul would have no 
part in the future man, whereas I say that the spirit and soul and body each 
formed part of man as originally created in the image of God, and that they will 
remain the constituent portions of man to all eternity. I have no tame now 
even to allude to the heart, but I protest against the contrast of the heart 
and the head, which is, of all modern errors, the most, popular, and 
the most decided; because, in the Scriptures, the heart is always used 
for the inner man, as opposed to the irpi^ov, or outer man, and the hea 
includes the spirit and soul, or, in fact, the whole of the inner man. There i 
no difficulty in understanding what it means, especially m that passage in 
the third chapter of the First Book of Kings, where Solomon prays for an 
understanding heart that he may discern between good and evil. There is no 
doubt or difficulty in the scriptural use of the word hearta-it always means the 
entire inner man, having reference more or less to the affections or o e 
thoughts, but always meaning the inner man ; and I say to all who have not 
gone deeply into this subject, that it would amply repay their study. 1 
believe this is the most practical question in the theology of the day, an 
that many questions, which we now dispute, will not be settled until we turn t 
the scriptural development of man’s nature, and abandon that crotch 
Auoustinian statement that man consists only of soul and body. And now 
allow me to make one more remark in reference to the soul. I see very 
plainly that soul, like spirit, is not always used in the same a PP J “^ n ’ “ 
! hope I may be permitted to illustrate this by a familiar ^tanco ftom 
the Gospel of John. In chap. iii. 6-8, our Lord not only MM* ^he spirit 
of man in its relation to the Spirit of - God, but illustrates it by the wind- 
rb Tivivpa ■kvu. Here we get three applications of the same i word, “ 
root-meaning. There is a passage in Olshausen’s Opuscula, Theologica l wh 
contains an important paper on this subject), where the author ; sa ^ that ^ 
meaning of scripture words is very rarely multiform and * a t we should 
ascertain the one true signification, and then we would be able to show in 
what various modifications that one meaning might be applied In another 
passage from Horne Tooke, which Richardson quotes m his fntroducto lo, 
is said that “a word has one meaning, and one only ; from it all usages 
must spring; and from it, underlying in its depths, must be found its 
intrinsic meaning in case of other applications. Now here ; » fiv 
distinct applications of the one intrinsic meaning of the word soul, and 
many of the difficulties of this paper are got rid of 
that there are these distinct applications. For ins ance, e 
the blood, or the life, or the person, for we have the passage theie wer 
converted three thousand souls.” In the midst of all such usages we m ^ 
look, in support of the argument for the tripartite nature of mau, to to e 
passages in Scripture where the intrinsic and original meaning of the wor
