f the Old Testament conception of
immortality. His discussion is valuable if not convincing.

[76] For the New Testament usage see 1 Cor. vi, 17; 2 Cor.
iv, 21; xii, 18; Luke ix, 53 (in some MSS.); Rev. xix, 10;
John vi, 63. Cf. Grimm, _Greek-English Lexicon of the New
Testament_, ed. J. H. Thayer, s. vv. _pneuma_ and _psyche_.
[77] Cf. Rohde, _Psyche_, 3d ed., i, 45 n.; ii, 141, n. 2.
[78] In philosophical thought the two are sometimes
distinguished: the _anima_ is the principle of life, and the
_animus_ of thinking mind (Lucretius, iii, 94-141).
[79] A curious resemblance to the cult of the 'genius' is
found in the E['w]e (Dahomi) custom of consecrating a man's
birthday to his "indwelling spirit" (A. B. Ellis, _The
E['w]e-speaking Peoples_, 105). Compare Horace's designation
of the genius as 'naturae deus humanae' (_Ep._ ii, 2, 188),
and Servius on Verg., _Georg._ i, 302.
[80] So in Plato and Aristotle, and in Brahmanism.
[81] The evidence for this belief is found in hundreds of
books that record observations of savage ideas, and it is
unnecessary to cite particular examples.

departed soul and of deities.
