And, then, again, what did our Sa-
Viour mean, when h great climax
came, when He uttered that most Won
derful love-prayer that was ever spok-
en- by the lips Of a physical form:
Father, forgive them, for they know
not what they dO?" He Wae talking
to His own Father, God, who knew/al1
things; He was uttering the words OF
an absolute truth and He was speaking
Of the best informed, the most intelli-
gent and civilized men, Roman and
Jews, that had ever lived, but He said
they know not what they do" He
meant that their souls-minds-like
the poor woman's physical body, were
so bound, fettered and shackled by
Satan that they did not know" Their
souls, under Satan's power had reject
ed the truth hat would nave made
them free
Scientists tell us that every seven
years every particle of these physical
bodies of ours passes away and is re-
newed, every atom of the brain as
we'll as that Of the arm and every
other physical part OF us; yet we know
that, at three score, three score ana
ten and older. we remember wildly
the things-that is, whatever may be
thought Of-of carlies, childhood, ma
turer years and middle age. If the
brain is thus gradually destroyed by
use and renewed, atom by atom, every
seven years, how are these memories
retained-memories Of loved forms,
songs and speeches and of music and
y pictures n smiles and sweet,
precious perfumes Of life? What holds:
these things, some of them impalpa~
BILE things, for US, almost from birth
till death, and maybe forever, as vivid
ly as if they were Of a moment ago,
like the law Of gravitation holds tha
stars in their places. when.
the brain. the commonly sup
posed mind, is passing away
hour after hour and totally gone and
renewed every seven years? There
car be but one answer to these ques-
TONS. The soul-God in us-is the
mind, t h thinking subject" and this
part of God in each Of us holds these
things for us as His blessing to our
souls, which are His children having
the use temporarily Of physical bodies
Ard the second text above says:
bring all things to our remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto YOU"
Christ was speaking to the souls OF
His disciples, which souls He came
to save from death, which their spirits
had suffered by sin and Satan: He
said: 1.-The Comforter, which is the
Holy Ghost shall teach YOU" The

The purely physical can't be taught.
It is never mind, bat only matter. In
teaching, spirit must deal with a spir1-
or with a soul. The Holy Ghost was
that is teachable in US now by h
Holy Ghost. There is another mind
in us. but it is not ~teachahie by h
Holy Ghost. The time for that had
passed forever when that mind was
cast out into the earth" And thai

forgetfulness to require the act OF
bringing ito remembrance AND how
was this remembrance effected? NoT
any effort of the brain. But by u"
Holy Ghost. It was purely spiritual.
