To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If we wholly knew the heart of God, we should, in the light of this text, have great advantage in understanding these earthly father- hoods that are "named therefrom." If we knew familiarly the imperial features of Alexander the Great, how easily we could judge of his likeness on any coin of his reign ! But now we have to judge the emperor from the coin, not the coin 21 from the emperor. The best we can do is to sort over the shining hoard of the antiquary, and cull the best impressions, the le...ast worn and defaced with the sordid uses of the world, and judge the original by comparing these among themselves.
We are not in a position to reason downward from God to men; we must reason upward from the things which are seen to that which is unseen ; we must know the original type by col- lating the least imperfect copies.
If it has been given to you to know through all your years of life an example of long-sus- tained unwavering fatherly affection that was made up of inseparable love and righteousness, an example in which the noblest elements in human nature, still more ennobled by the grace of God, came most manifestly near to the divine likeness, in which shone out upon you, as stead- fast as "the patient stars,'* an undiscourageable hopefulness that resolutely would foresee in you a better end beneath all unpromising traits of character, an infinite, surprising patience with immaturities and weaknesses and the faults of a less magnanimous nature than his own, a simple- minded forgetfulness of his own great deeds in 22 his affectionate delight in any worthy act well done on the part of any of his children, as if he loved to look down from the unconscious height of his great fame and say, " this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased," — then you can not be far amiss in saying, Herein I see some- thing of what that fatherly heart of God must be from whom all earthly fatherhoods are fashioned and named.
