EXPLANATORY AND PROSPECTIVE.
The junior editor Os this paper,
has purposely omitted to notice ;
the religious controversies that •
have from time to time appeared :
in these columns, lie has done
so first, because he has not him
self enough religion to quarrel
about, and second, because he
never saw a man who had, and
third, because he cares nothing
whatever for any particular de
noinina'ional creed. When it was
determined to conduct a religious
department in this paper, a plat
form was announced which, as is
universally conceded, embraces
every truth essential to Christian
Faith, Christian Life, Christian
Work, Christian Hope, Christain
Love and Christain Destiny. In
this platform there is no possible
room for a charge of heresy, as
all intelligent Christians tvcdl
know. This department of the
paper was committed to our senior
editor, Hon. James P. Simmons,
who is a Christian gentleman of
leisure, means, possessing books
and acknowledged ability.
Though a member of the Bap
tist Church he is Catholic in his
views, though a Presbyterian we
have no hobby to ride. Ilis load
ing idea is Christian unity, and in
this idea we heartily concur, and
shall labor for its realization. We
do not propose to cLscuss church
creeds, nor church forms of or
ganization and government, nor
anything else which is extrinsic
and casual. We propose to labor
in this department, not for the
unification of churches, but for
Christian unity—for the unifica
tion of the labors and hopes of all
Christians—-for the outgrowth and
perpetuation of Christian love for
all men of whatever creed.
Bigoted sectarians may misun
derstand th is, and give themselves
up to what is selfish and exclusive.
But with us whatever is good—
“good thoughts, good works, and
good men,” are cosmopolitan pro
perty. They belong to the world.
They have lifted us, and are lift
ing, and will ever lift themselves
from the dungeons of a cold ex
clusiveness and a blind sectarian
ism. up into a world of Liberty
and Love. We are out of all ruts —
out in the wide domain of free, in
dependent thought, and in this
broad (Tomin we find great and
formidable attacks and assaults
upon Christianity, which must be
met, and which cannot be met by
the light shed by denominatroml
distinctions. Human belief is but
the outgrowth of the human mind,
imperfectly informed and devel
oped, and Christians are. at best,
blind seekers, feelers and longers
after the the true, the beautiful,
and the good both in life and in
death. The most enlightened hu
man belief is but an imaginary
fabric, of which falseness is the
woof and truth the warp. We,
therefore, ask none to accept our
belief. and we shall not quarrel
with any because of their belief.
But we wish dow to say to our
readers that no mans peculiar be
lief will be allowed to injure our
bus ness and usefulness, and that
whenever any man attempts thus
to injure either because of his
j>cculir belief, our gio.es are oil.
It is with this view we to-day in
st rt the article headed “An Ex
citing Drama in Norcross/' and it
is with this view we now write.
Our broad and Catholic platform
was sent from lhe press Wednes
day morning. On the following
Friday night the Rev. Mr. Davis,
a self-constituted supreme jndge
of all theological questions, pre
ferrod charges against our senior
editor for His motives
wore turn fold, and we know them,
for we have learned to see through
the cloak of self-sanctified clergy
men. One object he had in view
was to destroy in its iueipiency
the indacnce of this paper in its
proposed struggle for Christian
unity—a thing by no means de
voutly wished for by bigoted sec
t arians—by men who know naught
bnt to whistle jigs to the dry
bones of denominational cau-
RAMBLER.
Readers er the Adednce:
Lately I gave you some reasons
why, in my the doctrine I
cannot be true that a child is soul
less till it is born and breathes.
Now I propose to show you that
the human soul cannot be a fallen
angel or devil. This task will be
smiled at, no doubt, by the dis
tinguished author of “ War in
Heaven,” especially as his parti
cular business in life is assumed
to be the correction of popular
errors.” Let him correct mine to
the satisfaction of his and my
readers.
Perchance some may remember
that Col. S. asked me this ques
tion in an article of his, “at what
time does the unborn infant have
a soul ?” This was the substance
of the query. I will answer it by
another. At what time does an
acorn bdtome an oak? When the
editor can answer this, if he will
only substitute common sense for
fancy, he can reply sensibly to
the query with which he thinks I
am stumbled. And here let me
suggest that one of our editor's
great troubles is that he essays to
be “wise above what is written.'*
Another is that he assumes to be
wiser than any theologian of any
age. Another is that he has at
tempted to carry the cloak and
staff of a philosopher, but actually
plays the tricks of a lawyer whose
case has to be made out of scant
materials. So much byway of
preface. Now let me show you
that the human soul cannot be a
fallen spirit or devil. As our
author is a champion of reason,
let reason be consulted.
Jude says of the fallen angels,
verso 6: “The angels which kept
not their first estate, but left their
own habitation, he hath reserved
in everlasting chains under dark
ness unto the judgment of the
great day.” What is plainer than
that these angels—-etery one of
them—are irrecoverably and for
ever lost? Reason asks, if they
were thrust out of heaven, be
cause of their sins, is it in the
least degree likely that the holy
God would ever deal with them
again in mercy ? Let us look at
the reception of a soul by our
father Adam, as Gen. 2: 7, records
it: “Gnd treated unto Adam’s
nostrils the breath of life, and he
became a living soul.’’
Now, can any one conceive that
the great Jehovah put a devil
somewhere in the neighborhood
of Adam's nose and bio wed it in
with his own breath ? Or, to make
the matter no better, did the God
of holiness take a devil in his
own nose and puff him unto the
lungs of the new-made body?
Do ye say this sounds like blas
phemy ? Well, let the sin rest
with the author of “ War in
Heaven.'’
Here is my impression of Adam's
enterance on spiritual life : When
his splendid body had been form
ed, the great Father, as if in ad
miration of his masterpiece, bent
over it. and into it breathed his
own breath, and Adam lived “the
Son of God.” Luke 3:38.
Reader, do you think my view
reasonable I
To proceed,when all things were
finished on earth, man included,
“God saw everything he had
made, and behold it was very
good.” Gen. 1: 31. Then man—
soul and body, for it took both to
complete him—was “very good,”
God himself being judge. But, if
adevil was man's soul, then either
he was not good, or else God saw
that to be so which was not so.
Who can admit for one moment
either of these conclusions ? But,
perchance, our champion of the
new theory would have us believe
that God meant, in this p’ssage,
to say no more than that the job
of putting a devil into a dust made
body was a successful one! But
further than this, Gen. 1: 27. in
forms us that “God created man
in his own image." What was it
in man that had God's image ?
Was it has body ? Has the eternal
Spiritual Existence a shape like
that of man? Was it man's soul
that had the image of God ? If
that soul was a devil, then does i
not follow that the devil which
made the major part of Adam was
God's own image ? Here are ques
tions which it becomes the privi
lege of our editor to answer, if
he can.
The 3d chap, of Genesis records
; the fall of Adam and Eve through
Satanic machination. It is not said
! that they tempted themselves.bnt
i that the-serpent did it. But if
Adam and Eve were devils them
[ selves, can any one see what need
■ there was of a tempter to seduce
i them ? Men sin naturally now.
I and were notour parents—if they
were devils—as much inclined to
do so then !
Math. 4: 24, tblls Us Os men pos
sessed of devils in the Savior's
time. How are we to understand
this, if men themselves are devils?
I Dois a laden angel take charge
of his brother apostate with the
power and design to torment him?
And when many devils were in !
one man, (devil) as in the case of:
the demoniac of Gadara, (Mark .
5: £>■,) how arc we to comprehend
the matter? Was the devil al
ready in the man, like a nlother
rattlesnake, so capacitated as to
hold any number of little devils?
It is saiu there is honor even
anlong thieves; and one might
think that devils even "would let
one another alone Yet our author
seems to think otherwise. But
furthur on this point: When the
Redeemer was asked to cast out
the devils which posessed men
and women- and did it—why did
he not cast out all the devils in
the afflicted ones? He did cast
out all the devils that were in the
demoniac, and the man —a some
thing different from devils —was
left, lie did relieve Mary Magda
line of her seven devils, but when
they were gone, Mary was left.
Last of all, in this list of argu
ments, if man's spiritual nature
bea fallen angel, then in the body
;of our Lord Jesus Christ there
’ dwelt together a fallen angel and
■ the Divine nature! This difficulty
i seems to have occurred to the
I author of “War in Heaven,” and
so, on the 275th page of his book
he firttly denies it. llere his lan
guage: “I understand the Scrip
tures to teach that Christ was and
is God—that he was not man in
any sense.” “A moment's reflec
tion ought to convince any one.
who can cotfple two ideas together,
that nothing is more unnatural, or
. unreasonable, than that he could
have pcssessed a human soul."
This is certainly a summary me
, thed of dealing with a stubborn
, difficulty. It is like a cloud shadow
' climbing a cliff again. When the
fancy is wild, it is so easy to tower
. above a difficulty which neither
logic nor a proper exegesis can
. remove.
Now, my readers, let me prove
, to you by the Scriptures of truth
I that Jesus was a man, body and
. j soul. I will not argue, in this
, i place, that he was God, for this is
, not denied. Besides, I believe in
„ I his Divinity as fully as in h.s hu
‘ inanity. But to the point in coy
I troversy. Hebrews,,2: 16, tells us
j that Christ took not on him the
i : nature of angels, but the seed of
i Abraham. Did it not take a soul
I
> and body united to make a seed.
I jor a son of Abraham? The next
j verse tells us, “in all things it be-
’ : hooves him to be made like unto
~ his brethren.” His brethren were
‘ ; men of Israel’s stock; and in all
t ; things, on the human side—does
! not the reader so understand it?—
Jesus was made like them. Then
he had a soul like theirs as well
i as a body. Luke informs us (2:52)
that “Jesus increased in wisdom."
It is plain that if his only spiritual
nature was Divinity, he could not
! increase in wisdom, for Divine
’, wisdom cannot increase. Human
| wisdom is susceptible of growth,
1 and on the theory that Jesus was
I completely a man, like men he
1 could, and did, grow in wisdom,
i More than this, our Lord often
’ called himself “the son of man.”
‘ i This term has deceived manv as
- : *
i regards his true nature, if he was
! not really and fully a man.
’ But the main argument for the
■ complete humanity of Jesus is
found in Hebrews. There we find
i (chap. 2: 18) “he himself hath suf-
■ sered, being tempted." The 4th
• chapter. 15th verse, tells ns that
j Jesus “was in all points tempted
'Hike as we are, yet without sin.”
1 If Jesus was tempted, n hat was it
i that suffered the temptation? Was
'■ it his body ? Can a n>er: body be
; tempted ? Reason pronounces an
' emphatic* No. Was bis Divinity
tempted ? Scripture says (Jos. 1:
13) God cannot be tempted with
s evil.” Then, we were shut up to
, the one conclusion that the hum in
■ soul of Jesus was tempted. I may
add that it is my candid opinion
; that if Jesus was not wholly man
. as well as God. there is no salva
: tion in him for any sinner. If 1
! am right, it is simply heresy to
teach otherwise.
Having now uprooted, as I be
; lieve, by the Scriptures, the wild
J theory of “War in Heaven," I see
no further reason for a continu
' ante of these papers.

ORIGIN, NATURE AND DES
TINY OF THE SOUL.
In closing an article last week,
under the head “Union,” we made
a few remarks in relation to the
importance of a correct under
standing of the subject which
heads this, and promised to’tiOn
tinue them this week.
In addition to the considerations
to which we then called attention,
we leave to submit the fol
lowing: This subject underlie-:
our Christian fabric. Be
fore tlie reformation it attracted
the attention of theologians, per
haps, more than any other, and
since then it has been, and now
is. the basis on which both the
Catholic and leading Protestant
Churches found their widely dis
: fcrent systems of theology.
lhe Catholic Church holds that
the soul is created by the AL
, mighty at the time when the body
j is born —that it never existed be
i fore, and of course had not sinned,
; and, being the workmanship of a
perfect Creator, the soul, on en
tering this life, is pure and holy.
They, therefore, deny the doctrine
of native depravity, and build
their whole creed on that hypo
thesis of the soul.
Protestants, for the most part,
on tise other hand, hold that the
i soul and body alike and together
have descended from our first
parents, and, as they sinned, and
fell under the curse, we are
born sinners and under the same
curse —enemies to God and doom
ed to eternal punishment, if not
! reconciled to Him through Jesus
i Christ while in this life.
The bitterness of feeling which
followed the division of the
Church, soon lit up the torch of
persecution, and that speedily
burned to ashes —utterly con
sumed, for the time —all that love
which once bound and always
should have held Christians to
gether as one family. When the
war opened argument closed, and
has stood closed until recently.
And so completely was the voice
| of reason silenced that there are
i humlreds and thousands of good,
■ and. on most subjects, well in
i formed Christians all over the
count y now who do not know
taat such questions were ever dis
eusissd, or that all Christians do
iiot agree to-day as to the origin
; of the soul. Reader, how many
sermons did you ever hear ? and
how many books did you ever read
>u that controling question ?
That being the giound work of
all the conflicting religious creeds,
it is< self evident proposition that
i if we can all go back to the start
j ing point, and agree as to the
i true origin of the soul, and the
divine purposes which have
‘ brought us here, we will agree in
all things else, at least sufficiently
well to enable us all to love and
live in peace with each other.
To the humble, faithful and de
voted Christian, who feels no in
terest in any particular creed—
i what would be more gratifying
than to see all Christians, of what
ever name, united together in
| bonds of love? We could then
read and confidingly reason to
gether, each anxious only to learn
and teach the truth, and all re
solved to follow her instructions
to the letter. Should that blessed
day ever come, the reign of dis
cord will find its end. How long!
Kind Heaven, O how long, shall
Satan hold the Christian Church
bound in the flames of sectarian
fire!. The answer is, “If the Son
i therefore shall make vou free, ve
[shall be free indeed.” Then,
! Christian friends, let us seek that
freedom which He alone can give;'
ami, to do which, successfully, we
must learn to hate strife and to J
’ love peace, Christ and His creed
j better tnan man and his.
But there is a pressing reason '
! u hy Protestants of this age, and
j more than ever existed before, I
, should review the Bible with an
anxious desire to know what we '
an. and why we are here — “ what
: manner of spirit (we) are of."
Infidels and skeptics are taking
advantage of the many contra
, dictions and unreasonable results
which aie made manifest between
' different passages of scripture, as
construed to sustain the Traduc-
■ tiou theory of the soul in many
particulars, and in such way that
it will be found utterly impossible
to prevent philosophical minds of
the generation now growing up in
> our schools, colleges and univer
sities falling into the vortex of in
li lelify, unless we base our system
of religion on a better foundation ;
i one which accords with revelation,
science and reason.
Os which incongruous and un
reasonable proportions we have
room at present only f<»r a few.
The question is asked, if our souls and
bodies descend alike from our pareats, and
we never lived or sinhed before, why was
it that God permitted Satan to enter the
Garden of Eden and deceive Adam and
Eve, as was done ? The morning aft r
their fall they repented and believed in
God; then why were they not pardoned
ainl their purity and holiness restored, as
before their hill ? By extending to them
that grace, as the Bible assures us it will
be granted to everybody else, who repent
and believe, He could have destroyed all
“ the works of the devil” which were done
in that Eden. And by that ftiSiple and
easy act of His niercy the necessity of the
intercession, suffering and d ath of His be
loved Son could have been obviated, and
the whole i ace of Adam would have been
saved, instead of the comparatively few
who will be on the plan adopted.
On that hypothesis, would not the chil
dren of parents who have been redeemed,
washed and purified in the Blood of the
Lamb, and their childrens children through
all ages have beCii a« pure and holy as if
Adam and Eve had not sinned ? And why
should a just and merciful God visit their
sins on us of this age, and others of all
ages, who were not there when that sin
was committed, in fact, not in existence at
the time and could not prevent it, so far
as to send us and them to that hell which
was “ prepared foi the devil and his
angels? ”
Or, in that view, would a merciful Crea
tor send His erring creatures to hell for
ever simply on account of the sins we com
mit in this life, if we never lived before?
In that case, would not the punishment be
cruelly disproportionate to the crime com
mitted ?
Were worse sinners than some men arc
ever permitted to live in heaven ? The
devil and his angels had been tolerated
there before be and they were “cast out
into the earth.” Is it not likely that some
of them weir sony for what they had
done, when just punishment overtook
them ? Then why should God reject them
forever and create another race of rational
spirits and turn Satan loose among them,
to deceive and destroy them, as be had
done others, and then become so anxious to
save them when too late, as we are taught
to believe is the case ?
Again, if the soul and body come into
being together, did the prophet Elijah re
turn to earth as the forerunner of the Mes
siah, as the prophet foretold he should do ?
If he did, how did he get here? Who was
he ? If the old prophet did not return to
fulfill that offiee, the Old Testament Scrip
tures, or the New, cannot be true. Christ
informed His disciples that the prophesy
referred t > was fulfilled in the person of
John the Baptist. That we believe was
true. And if we admit the identity of the
fallen angels and spirits of men, we will
find no difficulty in solving all the above
problems, and the host of others that we
cou'd name of the scum sort, and in fu'ly
reconciling the whole Bible with all facts
known to science and with human reason.
Then, is not this subject worth investiga
tion?
