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. Henry Mottet, 1). D.
