QUESTION for this SUBTITLE

  	Question. — What are body and Soul?

SUBTITLE for above Question

  	Question. — What are body and Soul? 
  	Answer. — Identity is the reflection of Spirit, the re-
21	flection in multifarious forms of the living Principle,
  	Love. Soul is the substance, Life, and intelli-	                                 Reflection
  	gence of man, which is individualized, but not	                         of Spirit 
24	in matter. Soul can never reflect anything inferior to
  	Spirit.  
  	    Man is the expression of Soul. The Indians caught
27	some glimpses of the underlying reality, when	                                    Man
  	they called a certain beautiful lake "the smile	                                            inseparable
  	of the Great Spirit." Separated from man,	                                            from Spirit 
30	who expresses Soul, Spirit would be a nonentity; man,
  	divorced from Spirit, would lose his entity. But there is,
 1	there can be, no such division, for man is coexistent with
  	God. 
 3	    What evidence of Soul or of immortality have you
  	within mortality? Even according to the teachings of
  	natural science, man has never beheld Spirit	                                  A vacant
 6	or Soul leaving a body or entering it. What	                                  domicile 
  	basis is there for the theory of indwelling spirit, except
  	the claim of mortal belief? What would be thought of
 9	...the declaration that a house was inhabited, and by a cer-
  	tain class of persons, when no such persons were ever seen
  	to go into the house or to come out of it, nor were they
12	even visible through the windows? Who can see a soul
  	in the body?
