many hours of solitude and earnest
meditation on the great mysteries of
existence.
Some claim to attain the full
stature and strength of men and
women from the beginning, while
others testify that spirituality with
them is of slow, and tedious growth.
Some can tell the exact moment
when they were ushered into new
life and--became subjects OF the
spiritual kingdom, while others claim
that the scales fell from their
spiritual vision so gradually that
thev cannot say when they first
began to observe faint glimmerings
OF light
The spiritual birth and growth
being a work of mystery, we should
not be concerned about the how and
when of the process, but should
sscrutinize very closely its effects
upon the life and character OF the
individual. To use scriptural eX-
preston we say that we know we
have it because we have passed
from death unto life, because we
| love the brethren. 1t is safe TO ac-
cept the test provided it is given
scope enough to cover everything
| that is meant by the expression
the brethren. The man who pro-
claims himself a lover of the breth-
rem and contents himself with a
reasonably friendly feeling toward
| the members of the same particular
sect with whom he comes in weekly
contact has fallen far short of a
spiritual comprehension of the sig
nificance of the term. The man or
woman who has really and truly been
| indicted into, born into, or adopted
into the spiritual family of God rec
cgnizes the human rare as brothers
gnd sisters because all men are the
ehildren of one common father.
Being born of the spirit eradicates
all conceit and arrogance from our
nature, it recognizes sin and wicked
ness only as weakness of humanity
and instead of laundering forth
enathemas on the head of sorrow
ful countenance, it is the death OF
selfishness and plans the welfare OF
ell above the comfort and convent
once of self. The spiritual birth
and development because of a recos'
milton that human life is but an
/ infiniteisimal part OF our great life
pervading the universe; places very
little stress upon the ego of existence
vet because of an ever abiding con-
seriousness of being a part of Goo
! is superlauvely seif-respecting. The
lregenerate soul is not afraid of Coz
and while an ardent lover of life
can smile at the thought of death
