About the Father7-John 14:G-24.
Bible Hints.

Bible Hints.
God is willing that men should
come to Him In any way they can;
but they cannot come except through
Christ.
Many a man saw Christ In the flesh
that did not really see Him; and we,
II we see Him in the spirit see Him
as really as any man ever saw Him.
Christ is not jealous of His dis
ciples. He wants us to surpass His
earthly works; He will be disappoint-
ed II we do not.
When our minds are confused by
the doctrine of the Trinity, we may
think of the Comforter as Another;
when we wish to get close to the Holy
Spirit, we may think of Him as
Christ Himself.
Suggestions.
TO doubt Gods love is to deny
Christ's life.
AS 1t is impossible to think of
Christ's holding Himself aloof from
men, SO it has become impossible to
think of a distant God
Christ did not emphasize Gods
power, not because God Is not pow
erful, but because His power con.
stantly discloses and emphasizes It.
self.
illustrations.
II man makes an approach to his
house, whoever even tries TO find an
other entrance can have only an evil
motive. So with those that refuse
to come to God by way Of Christ.
Christ Himself said that the Father
was greater than He. II you look
at the suns image In a mirror, you
do not see all of the suns brightness,
but all of 1t you can endure.
Christ was the great ocean of
Gods love flowing into the little bay
of our humanity; the same great tide
that pulses IN the ocean enters the
bay.
Christ is a pencil Of light entering
a closely darkened room. Place the
telescope of faith in the path OF ths
light, and you can see all Of the sun
it is possible to see from the earth.
Questions.
Am I studying Christ's life with the
eager desire to know more of God?
Am / getting closer to God every
day of my life?
Am l permitting any barrier to
come between myself and Christ?
Selections.
Nearer to Thee, o Christ
Nearer to Thee!

Gods glory see!-Lucy Larcom

Brother in Joy and pain,
Bone of my bone was He;
Now-intimacy closer still
He dwells Himself in me.

Then I have seen the wind set the
CLASSY surface into waves, and 1t would
be only belts of broken light. That is
the way 1t is in human society. We
are looking down upon the world which
reflects human weaknesses, human sin,
human passions. There isn't CLASSY
place to reflect the glory of Christ in.
There are all kinds Of passions at work
and the best that we can see Is the
ruified surface Of humanity, but l see
bars of light that are on the surface,

Christ.
Now, finally, the glory of God in the
face of Jesus Christ is revealed, not
only as n revelation, not only for in
spiration. but for reward How full
the New Testament is of this idea that
the sight of Jesus Christ shall be the
reward Of the saint and the Old Testa-
ment, too: my eyes shall see the
King in His beauty" I'VE shall be sat
isfed when we wake in His likeness"
I'VE shall see Him and know Him as
He is" How many more passages does
your memory bring up out of your
religious education that teach this doc
trine?

we believe in God we shall not only see
those who have gone before, who have
been in our homes, but the great am
bition of devoted soul will be graft.

BLESSED are the pure in heart, for
they shall see God. According to the
measure of our inward purity do we
seem to see God here. When we shall,

the renewal of our hearts and the
sanctification of our spirit, until we
can sGy the Lord hath made me whittier
than snow. We walk with Him. our
hand Is in His hand and our head is
on His bosom. He carries us when
we are weak, as shepherd carries thu
lamb. He heals our disease, He COM
forts us in our sorrows. He Is in our
homes when we are there, in our shops
when we are there, in the streets when
we are walking, on the sea when we
are sailing.
We shall see Christ, not in His hu.
initiation, but in His eXaltatlon; not
as babe in the manger, but as a king
of the universe; not as humbled be-
fore PLATE, but as ruling all things
and judging all things.

condition rather than n place. This is
shown by the parable of Dives and
Lazarus. one in paradise and one in
hell, yet they could talk across the
gulf. That must have been moral
rather than physical. But I do not
know that If God is everywhere, my
soul shall soar through space and find
Him everywhere. 1t may be that
heaven is everywhere, as God is every
where TO the devout soul.
