One of THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD Light is the Mother of Wisdom and UnderstAnding and of Knowledge of God. "1 have set thee to he a light,"— Acts xiii., 47. There is no personality familiar to mankind which stands for stronger uplifting power than that of the Apostle Paul. He held it as a bure- ing conviction that the supreme per - pose oa every human life is to ierve, For him the absolutely ideal being was that of the God -man who lead said, "I am among you as he that served," Ile was also alive to the feet that there ie practically no limita- tion to the poesibilities of any man's life. As the offspring of Deity— God possessing him—he felt and grasped the Power whereby he could make ever loftier reaches toward the life of Him in whom he beheld the Light of the world. In a vision of perhaps some remote ago he saw every human being traneformed into a bearer of heavenly light, and he re- solved that he must take his place in the foremost rank oa all the lightbear- ere. The Light of the World. He saw that light dispels darkness. No life can dwell in darkeese and withal' reach its highest possibilities. Darkness -means either death or un- derdevelopment. Ignorance and crime go hand in hand with darkness. Therefore wherever shines the efful- gence of Him who is "the brightness of the Father's glory" there it be- comes true that the light is the life of men. Then he was aware that in the wake of the light of "the Sun of righteous- ness" there follow wisdom and under- standing and the knowledge of God. That was a very keen appreciation of Ring Belshazzar when he said of Daniel, "Light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee." From his childhood Daniel had lived 1 and walked in the light of his God. Hie whole being was ever warmed and illumined and nouriehed by the divine light. It was the Light of the world -which possessed hirh, ever" directing anti controlling and lifting him at last to the position of honor and power. Light, -dispelling dark- ness, is the mother oa wiedorn and euderstaeding aed of the knowledge of God, There is one more essential fune- ! Eon. of the light. It points the way and it helps toward the fulfilment of that quality of life which alone Man make good the Master's command, "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father, which is in heaven." Men must have the divine illumination th see and appreciate the life of Jesus. The Power of Personality. The apostle sought for and realized within himself the threefold function of light as associated with his life. He became a mighty power to scatter darkness, to point the way of wisdom and understanding and to link others' lives with that of Jesus. On the threshold of this new year would that all men everywhere might hear and heed, as did the Apostle Paul, the voice of the Light of the world saying to each of them, "I heve ' set thee to be a light," in the power of a personality which dispels the darkness of every form of wrongdo- ; lug, a personality which manifests I the wisdom, the understanding and the Iknowledge of God, and a personality , so winsome and strong that it Ellice others to those aspirations which make for the attainment of a quality , of life ever winning and ever, hold- ing the respect and affection of oth- ers. --Rev.
