My Daily Meditation For The Circling Year by John Henry Jowett

JULY The Eighth WHAT MANNER OF MAN?

MATTHEW xi.7-15.

There are some men who are only as desert reeds! They move to the breath of the desert wind. They bend before it, no matter in what way it may be blowing. They never resist the wind. They never become |hiding places from the wind,| stemming a popular drift. They are the victims of passing opinions, and are swayed by the current passions.

And some men are |clothed in soft raiment|! They shrink from the rough fustian, the labourer's cotton smock, the leather suit of George Fox. They are ultra-|finicky.| They are afraid of the mire. They touch the sorrows of the world with a timid finger, not with the kindly, healing grasp of a surgeon.

And other men are |prophets|! They have a secret fellowship with the Infinite. When we listen to them it is like putting one's ear to the seashell: we catch the sound of the ocean roll. |The voice of the Great Eternal dwells in their mighty tones.|

And others are |children of the Kingdom.| They are greater than the old prophets, because the mystic voice has become a Presence, and they have |seen the Lord.| The veil has been rent, and they |walk in the light| as |children of light.|
