ium to millennium with unaltering purpose and
unfaltering power, are the early stages in the redemptive work--the
unseen approach of that Kingdom whose strange mark is that it "cometh
without observation." And these Kingdoms rising tier above tier in ever
increasing sublimity and beauty, their foundations visibly fixed in the
past, their progress, and the direction of their progress, being facts
in Nature still, are the signs which, since the Magi saw His star in the
East, have never been wanting from the firmament of truth, and which in
every age with growing clearness to the wise, and with ever-gathering
mystery to the uninitiated, proclaim that "the Kingdom of God is at
hand."

[98] Philosophical classifications in this direction (see for instance
Godet's "Old Testament Studies," pp. 2-40), owing to their neglect of
the facts of Biogenesis can never satisfy the biologist--any more than
the above will wholly satisfy the philosopher. Both are needed. Rothe,
in his "Aphorisms," strikingly notes one point: "Es ist beachtenswerth,
wie in der Schoepfung immer aus der Aufloesung der naechst neideren Stufe
die naechst hoehere hervorgeht, so dass jene immer das Substrat zur
Erzeugung dieser Kraft der schoepferischen Einwirkung bildet. (Wie es
denn nicht anders sein kann bei einer Entwicklung der Kreatur aus sich
selbst.) Aus den zersetzten Elementen erheben sich das Mineral, aus dem
verwitterten Material die Pflanze, aus der verwesten Pflanze das Thier.
So erhebt sich auch aus dem in die Elemente zuruecksinkenden Materiellen
Menschen der Geist, das geistige Geschoepf."--"Stille Stunden," p. 64.

Transcriber's Endnote:

Two significant typographical errors have been corrected in the
Greek text on Page 263. The sentence originally read:

"And Paul afterward carries out the classification consistently,
making his entire system depend on it, and throughout arranging
men, on the one hand as {pyenmatikos}--spiritual, on the other
as {phychikos}--carnal, in terms of Christ's distinction."

The amended text replaces {pyenmatikos} with {pneumatikos}, whilst
{phychikos} now reads as {psychikos}.
