the midst of his people in the morning of the gospel day. He gave them grace and power to live the same holy, humble life he lived. He gave them power to cast out devils and to heal the sick. By performing the works and living the life of Jesus the church was a city set upon a hill, which could not be hid--a light in the world. Chapter X. The Soul. Man as we behold him is not all there is of man. He is a wonderful being. He stands in the highest order of God's creation. He Is A Compound. Man was created a physical and spiritual organism. He possesses an animal and a spiritual life. Thus he is connected with two worlds. The physical creation is termed the "outward man," and the spiritual, the "inward man." "For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day." 2 Cor. 4:16. "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." 2 Cor. 5:1. "Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance." 2 Pet. 1:13. In the quotation from second Corinthians the pronoun "we" is applied to the inward man, and the "earthly house of this tabernacle" is spoken in reference to the outward man. In the quotation from second Peter the pronoun "I" has for its antecedent the "inward man," and tabernacle refers again to the outward man. The Outward Man Is Denominated "Body." In the fifth chapter of Mark's gospel there is recorded an instance of a woman who was diseased and suffered many things of many physicians in the outward man. She came to Jesus and touched his garment and she felt in her body she was healed of the plague. The Inward Man Is Denominated "Soul." By the one text given above it is plainly to be seen that the outer man is the body. Many additional texts could be given but we consider it unnecessary, because all at once believe it. But why not as readily believe one text which calls the inner man the "soul"? Some will not. This is the inconsistency of man. We will quote more than one. "When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord." Jonah 2:7. "But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn." Job 14:22. "And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her." 2 Kings 4:27. The Inner Man Is The Responsible Man. "Will t
