Our forefathers saw the height of
Gods love for the holy angels and its
condescension to the sanity of men,
but they did not see its depths. They
did not see that the Redemption accom-
plished by Jesus is ultimately to reach
down to and embrace the very
humbIest and most degraded of human
kind How the precious Scriptures
which tell of Jesus as the Saviour of
the world. as we'll as of the Church
escaped our notice. who can explain?
But surely glad are we that now we
can see clearly that the Redeemer is
a Precipitation for our sins. the Church's
sins and not for ours only. but also
for the sins Of the whole world.
This fuller appreciation OF the
lengths and breadths and heights and
depths of love Divine is coming to
Christian people as a benediction from
heaven. Just at the time when many |

that the Church. in process of election |

Another view OF the heights and
depths of Gods love Is that which rec
ognizes US as race fallen from hu
man perfection into the nire OF sin
whose quicksands are swallowing up
mankind at the rate of 10000 every
day. The Divine Program shows two
