ady to take its proper share of
sunshine and rain, and even to bear the cold winds of misrepresentation
and misunderstanding if need be.

"QUIT YOU LIKE MEN, BE STRONG." That is _your_ lesson-book, and you will
never feel happy or content until you are learning it.

Surely you must feel how much you have gained since you faced your own
facts?

E. K. B.--Yes, Harry, I do; but I don't quite understand _your_
position. Are you at the same point of view?

H. D.--No; not yet. It is all rather foreign to my previous notions. I
thought of Jesus of Nazareth as a great teacher--one of _the_ great
teachers of the world--but I had still to learn His unique position as
regards our chain of worlds.

They tell me here that He was the _first_ to attain to the full stature
of the _Divine Man_ as he existed in the thought of the Absolute.

Spiritual evolution is the process, apparently the only process, whereby
a Son of God in this sense can appear. And aeons of time have been
necessary to produce this fine Flower of Humanity. Your own band are
helping me to understand this. _Having attained, being the anointed
One_, it is given to Him to bring the whole race after Him.

This is quite a different conception from my former one, and the one
held by most of those whom in old days we called Unitarians.

_You_ have had to _unlearn_, or rather to drop, some of the husks of old
tradition which have been guarding the truth for you, whereas I have
still _to come up to the truth_; but the point reached will be the same,
whether the approach to it is from north or south--do you see?

In Christ Jesus, they tell me, we are _all_ new creatures, as a matter
of fact; because, consciously or unconsciously, we are working together
with Him to realise and manifest ourselves, as made after the Image of
God.

He is the example and the pledge for us. St Paul saw this, of course,
and your present position illuminates his teaching for me enormously. So
I have much to thank you for, Kate. It is easier to learn from those we
know and trust, than from strangers.

And, moreover, when we can learn from the loved ones on earth _as well
as through the loved ones here_, it makes the links in the golden chain
complete, and helps us to realise the unity and solidarity of our common
existence, _in the Father--with the Son_. H. D.

Another morning I had told H. D. that I had been reading an article in
