Excerpt from Divine Order of Development, as Traced in Nature, Man, and the Bible, by the Methods of Christ and of the Spirit The book conveys its own message to thoughtful men; it is not necessary here to enter into detailed explanations about the subject matter. The theme is Development; there is an introduction to the study; a glance at development in history, Nature, Man and the Bible. The thought that underlies all forms of development is Life, thus It is stated that God is Life that Christ has Life in all its diversities in Himself; that the Spirit of Truth reveals the Life in Christ and this Life is the Life Eternal and Immortal. God is conceived as Grace, revealed to men, as Divine Love, in a body of Sacrifice, that is in Divine Travail. Christ is referred to as the Divine Inheritance of the Saints. The Spirit of Christ is the Perfect Divine or the Spirit of Truth; the harmony and unity of the works of the Spirit are revealed to men in the Divine Purpose of Grace, as revealed in the Bible. God is Eternal Life; the Lord of Life expresses the Divine unity in these words: That they all may be one as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I m Thee, that they also may be one in us that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. I in them, and Thou in Me, lthat they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me. In these, the deepest mystical thoughts of Christ, what men find is the want of unity in mankind the serious separation of men from God the union in the Spirit of Father and Son; this union in Grace conveyed to mankind in Christ so that there may be brought about in the universe perfect peace in love. In the light of these thoughts, the family of Adam, and the parable of the prodigal son, may be studied, as teaching the same truths. Adam as the fallen race Cain the first-born Son Abel the Shepherd and Martyr; and Seth the one who takes the place of Abel. In the parable, the story is about a family where there is a prodigal son, selfish, self - asserting and disobedient, who claims his portion and comes to want there is an elder brother who stays at home and yet lives far from his father in Spirit there is One who prepares the way for repentance, pardon and peace, unnoticed; and, there is the Spirit of the Father looking and longing for the returning prodigal; going forth to meet him With glad welcome and manifold blessings. In the Bible, from beginning to end, the same forms of truth are being repeated under new conditions. 15 it not so that the great curse of this age is to be found in that prodigal Spirit of humanity that has departed from the Father and from Home? What men require is to come to themselves, to become sane in mind, to repent and to make confession of sin. This has ever been the mystic vision through all the ages it is that God is Love, and that He loves, and is waiting to be gracious, to bestow His blessings upon those who return to Him.
