"We are impressed with the fact that the physical body did not take on life but that the invisible, infinite soul took on a physical form by the uniting of the breath with the body. Even the ancients were impressed with this significance, and in their philosophies, which gradually evolved into theological principles, we are constantly reminded of the fact that man is essentially a soul clothed with a body, and not a body animated with a soul."
