Truth does not antagoniZe itself.
Science is knowledge gained and
verified by exact observation and
correct thinking. If one thinks he
has found conflict between science
and the Gospel the discrepancy must
not be charged up to the Gospel nor
its author. The probability is that
the observation was not exact or the
thinking not correct, and so the
science is "falsely so called"
The tabled crystal temple built for
the sum was lighted in its every
nook and corner with the sun s light.
So perfect knowledge will in every
part be Illuminated by admitting the
light Of revealed truth which shines
from the face Of Christ.
The Crown Of Revelation. n.-Scripture
Is crown which required long
centuries in the shaping. The law,
prophecy, the priestly office, sacrifice
and other institutions adoru it as
gems. 1t was crown prepared for
him who could wear 1t. And it is
found that it fits only the brow of
Christ. Like an empty mould the
Old Testament Scriptures waited for
the infilling Of life, until Christ, In
whom dwelleth all the fullness OF the
God hoad bodily, came and poured
himself into them, thus filling and
completing them,
The Crown Of Redemption
"Neither is there salvation in any
other, for there is none other name
given under Heaven among men
whereby we must be saved" Mer
have no strength to save themselves
no more than the cold clod in the
field has power to transform itSell
into flowers, but the living seed
implanted in the soil draws from the
clod beauty and fragrance. So Christ
lays hold on men and transforms
them into his likeness and beauty
This is the miracle Of grace, an(
entities Christ to wear the crown o
redemption.
