Sometimes she refuses to think
things out and accepts the new explanations of things whatever they
happen to be, turning in cynicism from the old. But more often she does
think--asking the old questions she faced as a little girl all over
again out of a larger world and a trained mind. "Who made God?--what was
the very beginning of beginnings?" she asks. "Is it some _one_ or some
_thing_?" "What is Death and what is after that? How am I to _know_?"
Soul, mind and spirit cry out for concrete proof of that which can never
be concretely proven.
The thing she needs just here, is the very thing she is most often
denied. She needs some one who can show to her the larger God and the
greater Christ for her larger world and greater thought. She is losing
or has lost her smaller conceptions in the maze of wonders which have
been revealed to mind and heart. She needs to know that she has not lost
her God, rather is she just beginning to discover Him; that she has not
lost her Christ, instead the Christ is just beginning to be revealed to
her in all His greatness. She needs some one to make clear to her the
meaning of the promise, "_Seek_ and ye shall find. Knock and it shall be
opened unto you." From a new view-point with a larger horizon she may
be helped to begin her trustful search for God knowing that truth can
never lead away from God.
