ger, yet not afraid to denounce sin and
call to account the wicked, so likewise may we represent the Father. All
the noble attributes which we find in the Son exist in perfectness in
the Father.

"Picture this noble Son, the risen Redeemer, my friends, after His
battle with death and His victory over the grave! In the splendid glory
of His divine manhood, all power both in heaven and earth in His hand,
He stands as _the_ shining figure of the ages. Why? Because He is 'God
With Us.'"

There was perfect stillness in the group of listeners.

"Thus the Father has shown Himself to us. There is no need for any of us
to plead ignorance of our Divine Parent. The way is marked out, the
path, though at times difficult, is plain. The Son does the will of the
Father. 'My Father worketh hitherto, and I work,' said Jesus. 'The Son
can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do; for what
things soever He doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.' We, then,
are to follow Christ, as He follows the Father. Isn't that plain?"

"Do I understand," asked one, "that you believe God to be in the form of
man?"

"Rather that man is in the form of God, for 'God created man in His own
image.'"

"In His moral image only. God is a spirit. He is everywhere present, and
therefore cannot have a body, such as you claim," objected one.

"I claim nothing, my friend. I am only telling you what the Scriptures
teach. They say nothing about a 'moral image.' What is a moral image?
Can it have an existence outside and apart from a personality of form?"

There was no immediate response to this. Some looked at the minister as
if he ought to speak, but that person remained silent.

"The attributes of God, as far as we know them, are easily put into
words; but try to think of goodness and mercy and love and
long-suffering and wisdom outside and apart from a conscious
personality, an individual, if you please. Try it."

Some appeared to be trying.

"Pagan philosophers have largely taken from the world our true
conception of God, and given to us one 'without body, parts, or
passions.' The Father has been robbed of His glorious personality in the
minds of men. Christ also has been spiritualized into an unthinkable
nothingness. And so, to be consistent some have concluded that man also
is non-existent; and it naturally follows that God and Christ and man,
with the whole material universe, are relegated to the emptyness of a
dream."

"If God
