NEXT STEP IN EVOLUTION 



that he might have tangible evi- 

 dence : Now, Thomas, yon believe 

 because yon have seen and felt; 

 but blessed is he who believes on 

 the higher plane of spiritual know- 

 ing. It is " an evil and adulter- 

 ous generation " that seeketh after 

 proofs of spiritual things on the 

 sensuous level. Men saw and 

 touched Jesus in Palestine who 

 were millions of miles from Him. 

 Were Christ to appear in visible 

 form, it might easily be of no 

 value whatever to come into phys- 

 ical contact with Him, to meet 

 Him on Broadway or on the 

 Strand ; but who can measure the 

 value of having Christ recreated 

 in himself, as the leaven is recre- 

 ated in the meal, and as a seed is 

 recreated in new seed, so that men, 

 when they see that man, and talk 

 to him, and deal with him, shall 

 feel that they have been with 

 Christ?
