UNITY OF THE SPIRIT

Twelfth Lesson

If we did not know it as a living reality that behind all the multitude and variety of human endeavors to bring about the millennium there stands forever the master Mind, which sees the end from the beginning, the master Artist who, through human vessels as His hands, is putting on the picture here a touch of one color and there a touch of another according to the vessel used, we might sometimes be discouraged.

Were it not at times so utterly ridiculous, it would always be pitiful to see the human mind of man trying to limit God to personal comprehension as though the finite ever could completely encompass or comprehend the Infinite. However much any one of us may know of God, there will always be unexplored fields in the realms of expression, and it is evidence of our narrow vision to say: "This is all there is of God."

Suppose that a dozen persons are standing on the dark side of a wall in which are various sized openings. Viewing the scene outside through the opening assigned to him, one sees all there is within a certain radius. He says, "I see the whole world; in it are trees and fields." Another, through a larger opening, has a more extended view; he says, "I see trees and fields and houses; I see the whole world."
