Philip was right: "Show us Urn i'ather
and It siitilcoth us." Our s.ul thlrsteth for

the Hon but the Father, and no man know
eth the Father but the Hon nnd he to whom
soever the Hon will reveal Hltn. That Is
our prime duty toward Christ, then, not to
Hit down aud try to compute Him. but to
use Him as a celestial Hold glass ; to scour
the heavens with Him ; to pull the lather
and the lather's throne ueartous as the
astronomer drags down the constellations

you have used Christ as a means of secur
ing glimpses Into the being nnd Hpirit of
Ood, there Is no need of worry as to the
shape your opinion of Christ will take , That
Is secondary matter, und will take care of
Itself, nnd will probably take care of Itself

knowledge of the Father, tho harder It will
be for you not to associate Him In some lu
