land of Corfu as the setting for her

Melissa Ttarke, by Amulet And

The Enjoyment of Literature nv
Henderson daily dispatch., 1935-04-06

the center of gravity of our interests
and desires should be anchored in
God and not in things material. He
rebuked worry over material things
Of food and clothing and bodily life
as contrary to all the lessons taught
us in nature and scripture.:' Behold
the birds of the heaven, that they
sow not, neither do they reap, nor
gather into barns; and your heavenly
Father feedeth them" His cure for
worrying was through the exclusive
power of God-centered faith which
dominates the whole life interest:
Seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto YOU" To
this faith he added prayer, teaching
his disciples, when we pray, say,
Our Father which art in heaven, Hal
lowed by thy name. Thy kingdom
come. Thy will DE done as in heaven,
so in EARTH ~.
Two Rival Fathernoods s
To Nicodemus Jesus, taught the
necessity of our being born anew
spiritually before we can enter Gods
kingdom: Except a man be born of
water anu Tie spirit, ne cannot en-
ter into the kingdom of God. That
which is born OF the flesh is flesh:
and trat which is born of the Spirit
is spirit" We are not by nature the
children of God, but through his grace
we may be adopted into his family
after which "the Spirit himself bear
eth witness with our. spirit, thaht we
are children of God, and if children.
then heirs; heirs of God, and Joint
heirs with Christ" Jesus taught no
universal Fatherhood of God. On the
contrary he denied to unbelievers the
blessing of that Fatherhood saying,
IF God were your Father We would
love me-. =. .Ye are of your Father
the devil, and the lusts OF your father
it is your will to do.
Jesus the Way
To his disciples he taught such
identity between himself and God
that "he that hath seen me hath seen
the Father" and offered himself as
the only way by which we come to
God: Il am the way the truth and
the life; no man cometh unto the
Father but by me-
