with the boundless Universe for its field, and the power of the Great 

 Creator for its theme, of which the veiling of the Angels' faces by 

 their -wings may be but a type. 



In conclusion, while on this subject, I would endeavour to recall 

 to my memory and give you the substance of what I once read 

 as a translation from a German work. God called up to Him a man 

 saying : " Come thou hither and see the glory of My works ; " and 

 to the Ministers who stood around His throne. He said : " Strip 

 him from his robes of flesh, cleanse his vision, put new breath into 

 his nostrils, only touch not with any change his human heart, that 

 heart which fears and trembles." It was done, and with a mighty 

 Angel for his guide, the man passed on through space, amidst worlds 

 innumerable, through darkness and through light, until at last the 

 man stopped and wept, saying : " Angel, I can go no further ; for the 

 spirit of man acheth with this infinity. Is there no end to the 

 Universe of God?" And the Angel answered: "Neither is there 

 any beginning."
