lowing Sunday and asked him two
questions regarding positive statements
he made, ami l asked those questions
in a spirit of perfect courtesy, and
with q sincere desire for informa-
ton.
One of my questions, "What is your
Interpretation OF God!" was entirely
relevant to the subject, anu it seems
to me that priest oil any creed
whatsoever ought 10 be able and will

of The Light could De helped by that
answer.

Robert Burns interpreted God.
Tennyson's Interpretation is in
dcscribably beautiful.
THAT God Who always lives and
loves
One God, one law, one element
And one far-off divine event
10 which the whole creation moves.

and both they and their people vii
be benefited thereby.
Also tell them about the Moleculc
the Atom and the Electron,- thos
wonderful manifestations of one God
one law, one element, whereby the.
will be brought TO close knowiedg
and communion with the Creator an,
creation. And it would provide I
common meeting place for all creeds
