“We’ve All Our Angel Side”T he huge, rough stone from out the mine.

U nsigh tly and u n fa ir,H as veins of pu rest m etal h id

B eneath the su rface there.F ew rocks so bare b u t to th e ir heights

Some tin y m oss-plant clings.A nd on the peaks so desolate

T he sea b ird sits and sings.Believe me, too, th a t rugged souls

B eneath the rudeness hide M uch th a t is beau tifu l and good—-

W e’ve all our angel side.

In a ll the re is an inner dep th ,A far-off, secret w ay.

W here, th rough the windows of the soul, God sends his sm iling ra y ;

In every hum an h ea rt the re is A fa ith fu l, sundry chord

T h a t m ay be struck , unknow n to us,B y some sweet, loving word.

T be w ayw ard will in men m ay try I ts softer thoughts to h ide;

Some unexpected tone reveals I t has an angel side.

“In My Name”“ I f ye shall ask any th ing in my nam e,

I w ill do it.” Jo h n 14: 14.I t has been assum ed th a t if one ended

his p ray e r w ith the w ords, “ In Je su s’ nam e,” or “ F o r Je su s’ sake,” he was ask­ing “ in my nam e” as Jesus m eant it. T he reader is re ferred below to num erous Bible tex ts, as it is thought th a t the earnest student will be much benefited by s tudy­ing th is sub ject in the “ w ords which the H oly S p irit teacheth .” ( I Cor. 2 : 13.)

In his “nam e” means in his “n a tu re” or

S p irit (M att. 2 8 :1 9 , B- V .; Acts 1 :5 ;I Cor. 1 2 :1 3 ; Jo h n 1 4 :2 6 ; 1 5 :7 ; I I P e te r 1 :4 ) , and therefo re asking in his “nam e” means asking from the impulse of the C h ris t-S p irit w ithin (Jo h n 16: 13), not from self, or sense-desires alone. (Jan ie s 4 :3 . )

T lie C hrist-W ord w ithin is the Wisdom of G od— D ivine U nderstand ing ( I Cor. 1: 30 ; 3 :1 9 ; I I Cor. 1: 12;. P rov. 4: 5, 7)— therefo re asking from its impulse is to ask w isely ; it is sub jecting the sense-de- sires to U nderstand ing for in terpretation and wise supply . ( I I Cor. 10: 5.)

T he C h ris t-S p irit is Love in the heart (Rom. 5 :5 ; I Jo h n 4 : 7 ) ; therefore ask­ing in his “nam e” is asking as Love prom pts (Rom . 1 3 :1 0 ; E p h . 1 :4 ) , and not th a t we m ay “consume it _ upon our lu sts” (Jam e s 4 : 3 )— “the lust of the flesh, and the lu st of the eyes, and the pride of life .” ( I Jo h n 2: 16.)

T he C h ris t-S p irit w ithin is the “author and finisher o f our F a ith ” (H eb . 1 2 :2 ; I Jo h n 4 : 18 )— the only Source of true F a ith ; therefo re ask ing in his “nam e” is asking in the F a ith exercised by Jesus, by his apostles, the p rophets, and the “ S pirit- filled” of every age. (G al. 5 :6 , 22; I Jo h n 5 :4 . ) T his F a ith is the inner “evi­dence” th a t “ B efore they call I will an ­sw er.” (H eb . 1 1 :1 ; Isa. 6 5 :2 4 ; M arkI I : 24.)

U n ity w ith the C hrist-S p irit— i. e., we in it, and it in us (Jo h n 1 4 :2 0 ; 1 5 :4 , 5, 7 ; 17^ 2 3 )— is a th reefo ld work, corre­sponding to th e tr in ity of p a rts -constitut­ing man. T he C hrist-W ord is a tr in ity fitted to un ify w ith m an; the W ord (John 1 :1 , 4, 12, 14) is S p irit and L ife (John 6 :6 3 ) , o r substance and idea ; it is the S p irit of T ru th (Jo h n 1 4 :6 , 1 7 ); i. e., S p irit-substance anim ated by T ruth-idea,

and the degree of anim ation determ ines the Pow er m anifest— substance, the an i­m ating idea, and the consequent pow er, constituting th e tr in ity o f the W ord.

In the first ac t of unification the C hrist- W ord is perceived in the understanding as T ru th (Jo h n 1 4 :6 ) , and believed into. (Jo h n 1 :1 2 ; 6 :4 7 ; M att. 2 8 :1 9 , R. V .; I Cor. 12: 13.) T hen , as the second act, the C hrist-S p irit en ters into our w ill by our loving— infolding— it (Jo h n 14: 2 3 ) ; and we perceive it in the h ea rt as “ Love shed abroad.” (Jo h n 7 :3 9 ; A cts 1 :5 ; 2 : place the th ird act, fo r the C hrist thus in m erses the understand ing and fills the heart— when we believe into the T ru th and by love infold its S p irit— then takes place the th ird act, fo r the C hrist thus in us is the “au tho r” (H eb . 1 2 :2 ) of F a ith in the conscious “ I , ” and m anifests as Power. (G al. 5 : 6 ; M att. 2 8 :1 8 .)

Thus are we “ filled” w ith the H oly S p irit. (A cts 2 :4 , 17, 18; 6 :3 . ) B u t if the W isdom of the understand ing , the Love of the h eart, and the F a ith of the conscious “ I ” is not allow ed to m anifest itself in work ( Isa . 58: 6, 14; M att. 1 1 :5 ; 1 0 :7 , 8 ) , then W isdom , and Love, and F aith , without w orks, a re dead (Jam es 2 :1 7 , 2 6 ; I Cor. 1 3 :1 , 3 )— the C h ris t is shut up , im prisoned in his tem ple. ( I Cor. 3 :1 6 .) N on-dem onstration means C hrist shut out, or C h ris t shu t in. L e t the S a­vior in (Rev. 3 :2 0 ) — let your L igh t shine (M att. 5 : 16; Jo h n 1 : 4 ) — and thus grow “ unto a perfec t m an, unto the m easure of the sta tu re of the fullness of C h ris t”— “C hrist in you, the hope of g lo ry .” (E p h . 4: 13; Col. 1 :2 7 .) B efore we can ask in

his nam e we m ust en ter into— unify w ith — his nam e. (Jo h n 1 5 :7 .)

T he S ilen t Seventy departm en t of the U nity work, consistent w ith its nam e, is not m aking much noise. B u t it is doing an increasing am ount o f good work. I t has devoted helpers in every section of th is country, and the m em bership in fo r­eign lands is growing. In sp ir itin g re ­ports of the good being done come in from all p a rts o f the field, and th is Seventy, like the orig inal one, re tu rn w ith jo y , say­ing, “L ord , even the demons are sub ject unto us in th y nam e.”
