I understand perfectly well the stories which men tell us of the tremendous struggle that has shaken them, body and soul. If only they could come into the presence of their Father! But I know that no such struggle is a necessary experience of the human life. I know that the great life of man, coming near to God, is meant to be the most natural fulfilment of his human existence. I will think no man's experience an unnatural one, because it has not been shaken by terrors and by fears. I know that the experience

which pictures all our experience, opened, under the skies of Nazareth and on the sweet waters of the Lake of Galilee, peacefully and calmly into the perfect knowledge that He and the Father were absolutely one.
