THE HUMAN SIDE OF GOD
"He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. ”
John 14:9
The greatest thing that we know is man; the greatest
man that we know is Jesus Christ. When, therefore, we hear
him say, “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father,"we
have a guide to the heart of the Eternal of the infinite
moment.
These words have been used to prove the divinity of
Jesus Christ; I intend to use them as indicating the humanity
of God. They have been used mainly, one might almost say
exclusively, as giving a supremely exalted vision of Jesus; I
think they lead to a supremely exalted and consoling vision
of God. Jesus no longer needs vindication or exaltation; we
cannot think of a wiser or better than he. He is the best
that we know, and by his sovereign goodness we judge indi
viduals, families, nations, and races; by it we judge the uni
verse.
There is something wonderfully impressive in this instinct
ive retreat in our time upon humanity. When human nature
is true to itself, there is nothing equal to it, there is, indeed,
nothing that will bear comparison with it among things that
we see. It appeals to sense by its helpfulness. Men are need
ful to men; the industry of the world, with all its cruelty,
is still organized brotherhood. Men could not sow and reap,
spin and weave, cross the land and cover the sea, as they do,
but for the help of their kind. Civilization is a witness to
the helpfulness of man to man. Every building, farm, fac
tory, locomotive, ship, store, bank, is a presentation of the
eye of the sympathy in which man lives. Our city, with its
schools, churches, hospitals, asylums, and with all its avenues
and homes steeped in a thousand stirring and tender associa
tions, is a revelation to sense of the power of our humanity.
This human natureT^flected in history makes its appeal
to imagination. Men have done great things: they have set
bounds to the ferocity of nature; the have turned the cos
mos at a thousand points of antagonism into the servant
of society; they are now whispering their thought into
instruments of mechanical device, and the whisper pursues
and overtakes the traveler by land and by sea; they have
wrought out languages of great fullness and beauty; they
have entertained splendid visions and recorded them in
imperishable words; they have construed the meaning of
the nature beyond them, the nature within them, and they
have created by their insight and sympathy great literatures.
There is in life besides all this, love. Man counts to man
more than all else because of love. Every successive genera
tion of lovers hallows anew this weary worid. The light of
their eyes is brighter than the sun, the treasure in their
hearts is beyond estimate. They perpetually renew the
meaning of existence, and convert the old earth into a sense
of endless romance and tenderness.
Perhaps the deepest words in the Parable of the Lost
Son are these: “When he came to himself. ” He had gone
away, far away from himself, he had gone into the life
beneath him, where for a time he lost all memory of the
existence for which he was made, and where all vision of
the heights above him and the world of love that he had
left behind faded out. That could not last; his nature was
divinely made, and it could not permanently endure this
outrage upon it. His shame, his want, his isolation, his suf
fering, was the clear note of his nobility. It was this that
gave him no rest, that bred thought, that brought about
the great return. “And when he came to himself, ” — until
that was done, nothing of any avail could be attempted;
when that was done, all high things became possible. Then
the vision returned of his old home, his father’s love, the
possibility of reinstatement in it, at least of service in the
order of his father’s home; then, and greatest of all, came
the resolve; “I will arise and go to my father." When he
came to himself, he returned to his father, and when we
come to our humanity, we come to our God.

MY HUSBAND’S LIFE WAS SAVED BECAUSE OF A
NEW DISCOVERY AND BECAUSE OF THIS HE WANTS
TO DONATE HIS BODY TO SCIENCE SO THAT HE
MIGHT HELP SOMEONE ELSE. IF HE DOES AND I GO
ALONG WITH IT, DOES THAT MEAN THERE CANNOT
BE A REGULAR FUNERAL? THANKS.
Z.A. Swafford
Giving your body to science does not mean there can’t be
a funeral service. The body can be sent directly to a
medical school after death or a regular or traditional ser
vice can be held and the body is transferred to a medical
school rather than to a cemetery. Some families select to
place the urn containing ashes (properly called cremains)
in a cemetery space with the other family members.
Even if there is no regular type funeral with a viewing and
all, you can still have a Memorial Service.
YOU ANSWERED SOMEONE’S QUESTION ON EM
BALMING BY SAYING IT WAS NOT REQUIRED BY
LAW BUT WAS DONE FOR COSMETIC AND PRESERV
ING REASONS. I THOUGHT IT WAS FOR SANITARY
REASONS. ISN’T THAT RIGHT?
Stan
You are not alone, many people are of that opinion. The
truth is that organisms which cause desease live in the
organs, the blood and the bowel and cannot all be killed
by the embalming process.

Denture
problems?
OraFix holds
dentures better because
It spreads better.
Tests prove OraFix* spreads belter
than the other leading denture
adhesives — cream or plastic.
Other adhesives can leave gaps
between dentures and gums. So
food particles and air can get in
causing dentures to slip. But OraFix
spreads better so it can fill 6ven tiny
gaps. Result? OraFix seals and
holds dentures tight.
