The Great Life-giver 
The sun is the one great life-giving 
and disease-destroying power in the 
physical universe, just as the Son-of- 
Righteousness is the only life giver 
and sin-destroyer in the spiritual uni- 
verse. People seem to be afraid of the 
sun just as they are the Son. They 
build houses and pull down the shades 
to keep out the sun and then turn 
on the artificial light. The average 
woman cares more for the color in 
her rugs than for the color in her 
children’s eheeks. Her neighbors 
might look down on her if her rugs 
were faded, but when her little girl’s 
cheeks fade the simpletons only pity 
the little girl instead of reprimanding 
the mother. In the spiritual universe 
people build churches to keep out the 
Son, they put on garments of self- 
righteousness and turn on the ar- 
tificial lights of human wisdom cule 
goodness.
