Finally,  on  the  sixth  day,  it  is  the  earth  produces  the  living  soul,  and  then  the
lord  of  the  %Yhole  scene,  the  summit  of  God's  work,  is  introduced  into  it,  and  all
is  put  iuto  his  hand.  He  is  to  "subdue"  and  "hold"  it  "in  subjection."
Mastery  is  evidently  here  a  principal  thought,  as  we  see  it  is  in  what  we  shall
find  to  be  in  designed  connection  with  this  sixth  day's  work, — ^the  life  of  Joseph.

The  Im.ige  and  Likeness  of  God.
that  Ls,  of  angels,  who  are  "sons  of  God"  (Job  xxx\Tai.  7),  ..
have  and  are  "  living  souls."  The  son  is  in  the  hnage  of  his  parent,  and  in  man,  in  whom  the
spirit  controls  (of  right)  both  soul  and  bodv,  the  image  of  C4od  Is  plainly  found.  Were  he  soul
and  body  alone,  as  manv  teach,  he  would  be  but  in  the  image  of  the  beast.  The  image  of  God
consists,  not  in  liis  sovereigutj-  over  the  eartli,  (for  he  was  created  in  it,)  but  it  fitted  him  for  thLs.
