i - ... = -f 1 CHRISTIAN LIFELINES Will you imagine me a self-conscious acorn? This acm n can feel w ithin it -elf the urge ‘o Income a mighty oak tree. It can s< e vaguely but realh the oak that it I will become. It f^*is an imperative. a must, to become that oak. To deny tie.* inner urge, the outward \ ision, the pressure of the must is to dem its very seif, and also to deny something beyond itself which gave it the urge, and the imiHwat ive. Is it not true that this imagined experience of th< acorn is the normal experienc< of a human being? A human being feels an inner urge to become more than he is at the moment. The human hung experiences a , "must” which to deny is to c< ny hims< If and another. Hear how the Aposth John feeis about this matter. ‘‘Beloved, now are we the sons of God. and it doth not yet appear what w, shall be, but w * know that, when he shall appear what we shall Ik, but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we ’ shall see him as he is.” John 3:^ Ministers Os Walkerton and Kooatz I>ake ( !
