among them Is, "To bind his princes at his pleasure'' (soul) (Psa. 105:22). Hanger: The unsatisfactory nature ot man’s toll and the emptiness of temporal things are described as follows: “ All the labor of man is for his mouth and yet the appetite” (soul) "is not satisfied" (Eccl. 6 :7 ). Longing: The wise man draws a contrast between the empty wish and the tangible object when be says, "Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire" (Heel. 6:0. Margin, "The walking of the sou l"). The soul is represented in the New Testament in a sim ilar way. It stands for the inclination of the mind and the desire of the heart. "Psuche" is translated “mind” and "heart." The word is recorded “mind” in Acts 14:2, where we read of those whose “minds were evil affected against the brethren." And in Phil. 1:27, the apostle exhorts the saints at Philippi, "with one mind” to be occupied in the Lord’s work. “ Psuche” is rendered "heart" in Eph. 6:6 and Col. 3: 23, where servants are enjoined to do "the will of God from the heart," and believers are charged to do everything from the heart or "heartily" to the Lord. Christ sums up the importance of the soul life and the true spiritual life when He says, “ He that loveth his life (psuche) shall lose it, but he that hateth his life (psuche) in this world shall keep it unto life (soe) eternal" (John 12:26). Viewing "psuche” as expressing the animal or selfish life we are exhorted to lose and thus find the higher or better life unto eternal bliss. But we shall consider the practical view in the next article. (Continued in August.) A DISCOMFITED INFIDEL An infidel, lecturing in a village in the North of England, at the close Invited discussion. Who should accept the chal lenge but an old, bent woman, who, going up to the lecturer, said, “ Sir, I have a question to put to you.
