BRANES IDEA OF GOD

W. c. Brann. late of IconOlasi
fame, once wrote as follows in re-
sponse 10 the question whether
he was an atheist:
Il belong to no particular cult
OF creed, do know beyond the
peradventure Of dcs,hi, that the
mighty universe is not without a
master. His origin is beyond my
comprehension, I cannot under
stand the creation; how then can
! comprehend the creator1 / know
nothing OF the future, spend no
time speculating upon it'll am
overwhelmed by the past and at
death grip of the present. AT the
grave God draws the line between
the two eternities. Never has liv.
ing man lifted the veil OF death
and looked beyond. Revealed re-
ligion was not born Of reason, or
nursed by knowledge; il is the
child Of love, Of pain, and lives be-
tween the rosy breasts of hope.
There is a Diety. / have felt His
presence and heard His voice. /
have been Graded in His robe. All
that is OF ever will be, is but the
visible garment of God. Seek not
TO know Of His Plans or purposes.
! ask no written covenant with
God for He is my father; l trust
without requiring priest or pre-.
late to endorse His note. As /
write, my little son awakes and
comes cropping through the dark
ness to my door. He sees the
light shining through the transom,
returns to his little bed and lies
down to dream. He knows that
beyond the light his father keeps
watch and asks no more. Through |
a thousand celestial transoms
streams the light of God. Why |
should / fear the sleep of death;
the unknown terrors of the star
less night waves of the river Styxl
Why should fear the sleep Of
death, with assurance from the
lips of men that the wisdom, love
and power of my heavenly Father
will not fail?
