The mind contains all the powers of reasoning, and thinking, and understanding, and remembering. The emotions, which play such an important part in our relations to our fellow men, are our visible reactions to facts, situations and circumstances. The will is the executive of the soul, the finger on the trigger of the soul's response. The soul is that part of us which is self-conscious. It comes as a surprise to some people to learn that an animal has a soul.
Man has spirit, soul and body.
Animals have soul and body. The members of the vegetable kingdom have only a body. All three groups are alive, but in three different degrees. Consider the case of your dog, or your neighbor's dog. That dog has a soul, just as much as you and I have.
