Seventh Day Adventist.

Elder Butler has bsen speaking 1T the tent tor
several evenings 10 large congregations on man :
nature, hi> state IN death AMI kindred themes.
III" holds man u not immortal by virtue 1T his
present nature. hut " he ever becomes such, h..
must 'e nis'ie >o by CHRIST, and that oniy the.
good can live ct-rnaliy.
In hi- discourse last night he examined the
meaning II the words soul AMI spirit. He b.
sisse> both of these CONNECTED with man in
thl- present tate. hut that the r,..,- commonly
attached ." ,h-n are erroneous. "a j. general
~ supposed those wor,i> mean the same thing
and always refer Z" an Iminateriai entity which in
ii,hlts th. body and To- which W. owe all our
snowle,ig-. thought ant sensation, and which at
death leaves the tly anil scars away to its de-
tIn,tiou a. conscious = ever. The eti~r ct,im-
thit N" -w-h cs~trins - taught in the. Bible: that
soul AMI spirit not the same thing translated
from 'i'fi-rent words the original almost ev.
cry instance. The word soul in the Hat. IL trans
lated from tW" words in the original. N.pp~sh in
the Hebrew, and p>urhe IN I'll. Greek; tine Obi
re-ta,.'-nt being written IN the former ana the
New Testament IN the latter language. while the
word spirit - translated from the word riach IN
the Hebrews AMI Pn"una in TN, Greek The RE
brew word n"ppish occurs 80 times IN the o. T.,
and ~ rendered >on ~. times lif, lis tirne- per-
son - times, and - also translated mind. heart
b,iy and deaf BODY. AMI al>o by other words.
Taylor. anthor 81 "a Hebrew CONGO r,iance, de-
lines " ." mean generally 1.-THE animal life or that
principle by whn'h every animal according to- its
Kind lives The corresponding ',r~ek wori
p-trhe OCCURS fstj times. and is translated soul
- tunes, hfe ~ tunes, ss, mind, heart, u.s. you,
et.... AMI means about the same the former.
The Hebrew word mussch occurs ~; tunes.
spirit I'M the ~. +. ~ almost every INSTANCE from
this word " IL also translated wind o. times
breath - umc-; also smell. mind. blast, anger
etr. The corresponding ',r.-k word pneuma oc
currs b, tunes IN the y. T. THE WORT spirit is
from u n every Instance. IL Is also rendered
ghost ~ times.
Thus 70 ~ plainly seen -,y- the. elder that thc.e
WORKS IN the original have uniform meaning
hut are translated into s.ny different words but
he claimed they 10 not hear the meaning pot.-
ui,riy applied Q" them u single instance. AMI
though these words soI and spirit are. used IN all
W." times in tn" Bisar. % IL n remarkable fact.
that not IN one single instance are they ever said
tu3is immortal or never diving.
The elder then proceeded To take mp several
doctrine from what he - teaching.
H. first noticed the thief on th.. cross-I.nke y:
1;G. The tiIef asked % 10 remembered when
christ came into hi kingdom Jesus replied.
"Serily. j say unto thee, TODAY shalt thou he
with me in Paradise"
The question Ut the thi-f related To- being with
Christ When h. ''con,e>' into his kingdom, l. ..
a, h'- second coming-.nd Tim. 81. The elder
et'i,n-'i that IN" wort TODAY should
qualify Soy "Verilv ] say unto thee
When, Why. when Christ comes into His king
DOM This save. all con, r,'ii.ton and in exact
harmony With the thiefS question. By SIMPLY
placing the comma after 'tosi,y." instead If be-
fore u, all difh'ultv Is removed.
He clsimed that the romn,a and punctuation

man. and 40 far as the grammatical construction
was concerned. the sentence wonlt hear his inter-
probation as well as tn" other. and avoided MAX

most likely fo fr night.
He next noticed the of tn. rn.n man and
