for the time seem to leave the others out of sight or in abeyance, but a thorough analysis of the facts of personality shows the essential unity of these faculties of the living soul of man. We conceive the personality of God to be like that of man, and herein we recognize the image and glory of God in which man exists and was originally made (Gen. i, 27; 1 Cor. xi, 7). That this trinal personality of God is something immeasurably more than that of man should be assumed, since omniscience, omnipotence, and omnisentience must needs transcend all human knowledge. It is to be observed also that in the trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit each of these essentials of personality is manifest. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of wisdom and of power by whose divine ministrations the love of God is shed abroad in the hearts of men. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the manifested wisdom of God and the power of God, and his mission of divine mediation is the supreme demonstration of the love of God; and the love of the Father, the wisdom and the knowledge of God and his everlasting power and divinity are everywhere extolled in the biblical revelation. Besides all this, it may, perhaps, be truthfully affirmed that in some deeper sense the everlasting Father is preeminently the Almighty; the eternal Word or Son of the Father is the revealer of all heavenly wisdom; and the eternal Spirit fills our fullest and richest concept of the all-pervading omnisentience of God. According to the Johannine teaching, the Son is the only begotten of the Father (John i, 14, 18; iii, 16); the Spirit proceeds from the Father (xv, 27); the Son and the Spirit are sent by the Father (iii, 34; xiv, 26); and the Spirit is sent both by the Father and the Son (xiv, 26; xv, 26). The holy and heavenly Personality that exists and acts in these mysterious interrelations is "the only God" (ỏ μóvos deós, v, 44; xvii, 3), but he exists and acts as Father, Word, and Spirit, an adorable UNITY. Men may never be able to resolve the difficulties of the Trinity as they have been magnified by the polemics of centuries; but if we turn our thought to the trinal unity of every normal human personality, and keep in mind that man exists in the image and glory of God, we shall be able the better to worship the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and at the same time behold and believe that the Spirit and the Son of his love are truly one with the Father, essential and inseparable in the divine personality, and evermore revealing the nature of the everlasting Father.

10. The Everlasting Goal. It remains for us only to observe that in the everlasting power, wisdom, and love of God the entire universe moves onward toward a goal of perfection and glory worthy of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Our limited vision

can set no bounds to God's future operations. As he has been working hitherto, so doubtless he will keep on working through the ages of ages. Every stage of progress and accomplishment serves only to open into illimitable possibilities beyond. The apostle Paul looked forward to an END, when Christ shall have abolished all adverse powers, and shall have brought all things into subjection to himself, and "shall deliver up the kingdom to the Father" (1 Cor. xv, 24-28). But whatever glorious revelations and triumphs that grand event may show, they will not and cannot exhaust the resources of eternal Wisdom and Love. In these mysteries of the ages we may safely argue a priori on the basis of the nature and power of the God whom Jesus Christ reveals. All things are possible to his Father and our Father, his God and our God. In the order of his wisdom there seems to be no stage or state of being which is not of the nature of an intermediate state between what went before and what is sure to follow it in glory. "From glory to glory" is the motto of his continuous transformation of the sons of God. We need have no manner of doubt that in his own times the whole travailing creation shall be delivered from its pains and bondage and corruption and become transfigured into higher forms of life and power. The Omnisentience of eternal Wisdom and Power will not refrain from his sympathetic intercession and groaning so long as any living creature is waiting and yearning for the glorious liberty of the children of God. For as a father pitieth his children, and as a mother comforteth, so shall our Father who is in the heavens comfort and glorify his own.
