NINETEENTH STUDY.

MAN,

MAN was made in the image of God; but sin has taken away his beauty and holiness.

“How poor, how rich, how abject, how august,
How complicate, how wonderful is man!
A beam ethereal, sullied and absorbed !
Though sullied and dishonored, still divine!”

TWENTIETH STUDY.

THE BODY OF MAN,

THE body is the habitation of the soul. The old Saxong called it the soul's house.

“Sure 'tis a serious thing to die;
In that dread moment how the frantic soul

Raves round the walls of her clay tenement,
Runs to each avenue, and shrieks for help.”

THE HEAD-THE CHIEF PART OF THE BODY.

THE head of man is the seat of the soul.

“Remove yon skull from out the scattered heaps!
Is that a temple where a god may dwell?
Look on its broken arch, its ruined wall,
Its chambers desolate, and portals foul:
Yes, this was once ambition's airy hall,
The dome of thought, the palace of the soul!"
