With the animal there is changing endowment and changing environment. Limitations are clear and distinct within and without. But with man there is infinite environment. Within he has a self-determining spirit, subject and object, bound together in a simple and indissoluble unity. Surrounding this spirit, infinite in structure and capacity, is infinite truth, infinite law, and infinite love. Even Herbert Spencer said “Perfect correspondence would be perfect life. Were there no changes in the environment but such as the organism had adapted changes to meet, and were it never to fail in the efficiency with which it met them, there would be eternal existence, and eternal knowledge.” In the personal spirit and the elements which surround it, we have the two eternal terms of eternal correspondence. A self-determining spirit is essentially, structurally, and constitutionally imperishable. It others itself only through its own act. And the other of itself is itself. It is its own subject and its own object. When it goes out of itself, it is itself that goes out. It is a complete circle, an absolute and indestructible individuation. It is the final expression of God’s creative power. Through all the revolutions and mutations of time, this was the destined goal. The destruction of a human spirit would register the death of God. It is the direct expression of the spirit of God, and bears his own likeness and image, and has for the guarantee of its permanence the person of the eternal God himself. VI.
