Length and Breadth - Height and
Depth.
How wonderful it at first seems to
us to find that we really have a good
kind, loving God. and not an unmerci-
full and vengeful one. So grossly were
we deceived respecting his character.
by the traditions handed down from
the past, that we gave him the rev.
erence of fear, rather than that of
love and devotion. The clearer light
comes to US as a fresh revelation of
the meaning of the Apostles words
when he wrote about lengths and
breadths and heights and depths of
love Of God. which passeth all under
standing"
Tho words nf ho ord fhrnI7oh No
prophet come to our minds, Fear not
their fear. neither be afraid Their
fear of me is not of me, but is taught
by the precepts of man." CAS- the
heavens are higher than the earth, so
are my ways higher than your ways
and my plans higher than your plans"
Oh! Thank God that it is so! To all
eternity we shall praise God that he
did not allow our forefathers to make
him or change his character. Yes, and
he is the same yesterday, today and
forever. He changes not. The great,
wise. just. loving plan for the saliva
ton of mankind which he is now car
rying out was the very one which he
purposed In himself before the world
was created" The plan Of selecting
the Church through fiery trials, through
the straight gate and narrow way, for
nineteen centuries, was what he pur-
posed in advance; for the Apostle says
that he foreknew the Church in Christ.
Likewise the times Of restitution
soon to come for the world Of mankind
he foreknew and predestinated, and
made all the arrangements for, just as
they are being carried out now. The
end will be glorious. His name will
shine resplendently when the mists
have cleared away, and when the Sun
OF righteousness shall arise with heal
ing in bis beams, scattering all the
darkness and degradation of sin and
superstition
Then We'll see what God hath wrought!
Then we'll praise him. praise him as we
ought
