GENTILES

Symbolic of mental qualities less developed than the "Jews," and standing, as it were, outside the "chosen people," or more or less disciplined qualities of the mind.

The Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and fellow-members of the body, and fellow- partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel." - EPH. iii. 6.

This is a recognition that all qualities, however backward in development, have their part in the perfect pattern behind the phenomenal deficiency, and that all are capable of being evolved by the Spirit of Truth through the means provided in the forms.
