THE SPIRIT IN MAN.
In the well-known passage where St. Paul advisex, his readers to put on the whole armour of God, the Apostle is thinking of the Christian life as full of conflict and warfare. It needs what he calls the good soldier of Jesus Christ and for the moment St Paul is considering how such a soldier should be armed for such a war. He is like some knight of the Middle Ages," standing in his castle yard and serving out to his vassals the weapons they need for the battle which is near at hand. "Take all your armour" he says. This is no holiday affair, no dress parade. Your are to fight against principalities and powers. So And then he puts it into their take the whole armour of God.

Is it possible, then that the Spirit of God entering into a mad can be to him a sword, that a man's charac ter has this aggressive quality, that a man fights just by what he is? Yes, that seems to be the Apostle's argument. Looking at all the con- ficts and collisions of life, its differences of opinion, its causes to be won, he thinks that the best fighting weapon is the spirit of a man's life. Behind all argument and persuasion, the only absolute argument, the final persuasion is great danger" according to the the simple witness of the Spirit.
