Our capacity for liking or loving
is a matter of personal development.
Every child born into the world
has within him the elements OF
triune life. | confess it was easier
for me to apprehend the expression
of the Christian three per-
sons in one God''--after fully COM
pretending the fact that our human
mature presents trinity just as
distinct; that is, moral mental and
animal natures. And when | look
into the face of little child, see
the animal, the intellect and the
angel latent there, and all nee
essary to each other The animal
life we have in common with the
lower orders. and we are only SUI
perior to them in the proportion by
which the higher attributes domin-
ate the whole existence. while the
very highest elements of our being
must be dependent on the equal
care given to the lower.
Too much emphasis cannot be
given to the fact that the body is
the temple of the Holy Spirit. We
do not sufficiently recognize the
sacredness of the human body; that
we have no right to trifle with 1t;
that we may not do anything to
impair the strength or perfection

care of our bodies--to keep them

( There is something wonderful and
mysterious in this dependence OF

'upon the others. For neither may
the higher nature and its require
monts be ignored. To nourish the
animal in us, would develop race
of brutes, scarcely above the brute
creation around us. 1t is the de-
yelopment CT the whole nature that
makes the difference between liking
and loving. The brutes or lower or
ders like their kind, but their eX-
periencc cannot go beyond their ca
pacity. One must appeal to the
very best in us and our nature
is not satisfied with that which
appeals only to one side of our
being. We like all sorts of things,
