From Our Exchanges

with contributions from R. J. Campbell, Joseph Fort Newton

[Zion's Herald]

We shall see things as God sees them, and sympathize wholly with Him, when we see Him distinctly all the time and know Him completely. How shall this be brought about? How shall we know Him? Obedience is the organ of spiritual knowledge. "If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know." By faith we behold the things which are not seen with the physical eye. "Trust and obey" seems to include the main essentials. But ordinarily we do not carry either one of them far enough to produce the best results.

What we need, then, is not so much anything especially new in theory, as the intensification of the old. If the trust and faith are perfected, if they become measureless and unfaltering, then we shall be delivered from those views of things that disturb us; we shall either get a glimpse of God's far reaching plans which are being so slowly worked out, or we shall be entirely willing to await with equanimity their gradual unfoldment.
