                     EMERGENCE INTO LIGHT 

 1	    The trend of human life was too eventful to leave me
  	undisturbed in the illusion that this so-called life
 3	could be a real and abiding rest. All things earthly must
  	ultimately yield to the irony of fate, or else be merged
  	into the one infinite Love. 
 6	    As these pungent lessons became clearer, they grew
  	sterner. Previously the cloud of mortal mind seemed to
  	have a silver lining; but now it was not even fringed with
 9	light. Matter was no longer spanned with its rainbow
  	of promise. The world was dark. The oncoming hours
  	were indicated by no floral dial. The senses could not
12	prophesy sunrise or starlight. 
  	    Thus it was when the moment arrived of the heart's
  	bridal to more spiritual existence. When the door opened,
15	I was waiting and watching; and, lo, the bridegroom
  	came! The character of the Christ was illuminated by
  	the midnight torches of Spirit. My heart knew  its Re-
18	deemer. He whom my affections had diligently sought
  	was as the One "altogether lovely," as "the chiefest,"
  	the only, "among ten thousand." Soulless famine had
21	fled. Agnosticism, pantheism, and theosophy were void. 
  	Being was beautiful, its substance, cause, and currents
  	were God and His idea. I had touched the hem of Chris-
24	tian Science.SHOW ALL
