  	    Metaphors abound in the Bible, and names are often
  	expressive of spiritual ideas. The most distinguished
 6	theologians in Europe and America agree that	                   Interior
  	the Scriptures have both a spiritual and lit-	                           meaning 
  	eral meaning. In Smith's Bible Dictionary it is said:
 9	"The spiritual interpretation of Scripture must rest
  	upon both the literal and moral;" and in the learned
  	article on Noah in the same work, the familiar text,
12	Genesis vi. 3, "And the Lord said, My spirit shall not
  	always strive with man, for that he also is flesh," is quoted
  	as follows, from the original Hebrew: "And Jehovah
15	said, My spirit shall not forever rule [or be humbled] in
  	men, seeing that they are [or, in their error they are]
  	but flesh." Here the original text declares plainly the
18	spiritual fact of being, even man's eternal and harmo-
  	nious existence as image, idea, instead of matter (how-
  	ever transcendental such a thought appears), and avers
21	that this fact is not forever to be humbled by the belief
  	that man is flesh and matter, for according to that error
  	man is mortal.
