Two bodies —the one seen, and the other unseen.” 44 Two bodies ?” “ Yes. In the words of Paul, there it a natural body, and there it a spiritual body. Many read this as if will be were in the place of is, when the spiritual body is spoken of; but Paul maent that no such construction should he placed on his lan guage. He spoke of the unseen body, without which the teen body could have no existence.”j “ Your meaning is veiled,’’ said I. “ Not veiled,” answered the stranger; “you see the truth obscurely, because your vision is dim. Scales shut out the true light. Let me remove them. Does your eye see ?” “ If not, how do 1 perceive forms and colors ?” “ That beautiful organ ol flesh and blood, called the eye—l mean that natu ral orb so wonderful in its construction— does that see objects around you ? or is it only a kind ol window, through which the. unseen or true spiritual eye looks forth upon the world of nature. Think ! 7s it possible for mere matter to have the power of sight ?” “ Not unorganized matter,” l replied. “Unorganized! wltal is organ ized matter? 7t is a inatierial form in which is a principal of life and the form is determined by the character of the anima ting principle. Without the unseen, the seen would be inert and dead. Your eye is an organized form, because there is an unseen principle of life—in other words, nn unseen eye— within, giving it the pow er of natural vision This is aa true of the ear and its use as it is of tlie eye; of the brain as of the ear; of the heart and lungs as of the brain; and, still further, as true of the w hole body as of a single member. Thus, there is an un seen as well as a seen body ; and the for* liter is equal by susceptible|oi|iinpressiona with the latter—nay, more susceptible, because it is more highly organized.” 4 Organized ?’ 4 Yes, spiritually organized.’ 4 You startle me. If this be true, vvliat wonderful things are involved!’ 4 We are fearfully and wonderfully made,’ returned the Granger, in a solemn voice. 4 This is divine language, and lias a divine anti spiritual meaning. Yet wonderful things are involved. If we have this spiritual body, then we have an inner as well as an outer lile. And do not all admit this vaguely ?’ • There is inner life,’ I said. 4 If an inner life, then an inner form of lile-’ 4 And that f.irm, as you say, must take impression.’ 4 Yes, and retain them.* 4 Not so tenaciously as this outward, physical form.’ * More tenaciously,’ said the stranger. 4 This 7do not clearly perceive.
