"The priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord" (1 Kings 8:11). "Why cannot God be seen by mortal eyes?" asked the Emperor Trajan. "You say," said he to a Christian, "that your God is everywhere. I should like to see Him." "He is indeed, everywhere," said the Christian, "but no mortal eye can behold his glory." The Emperor insisted on further explanation. "Well," said the Christian, "suppose that we go first and look at one of His ambassadors," and so saying he bade the Emperor look at the dazzling sun. "Art thou unable then to look at one of His creatures? How, therefore, couldst thou hope to look upon the Creator himself and live?" -- From Revelation. Sent by Maggie Elizabeth Evans, Eolian, Texas.
