those old words, " I will arise and go to my
father."
When Jaquino di Fiori in the Middle Ages
preached of the Kingdom of the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Ghost, till his hair became
as silvery grey as the leaves of the olive tree,
he compared these three realms with the
nettle, the rose, and the 111}% the light of the
stars, the sunlight, and the sun.
In all the ends of the world this preaching
is being heard now. But that dream of a
Third Kingdom, pure as the lily, warm as the
sun, can only be realised in the temper of the
child who looks for life and happiness, who
brushes away joyously and frankly the clouds
of man’s fall and man’s humiliation.
Without becoming as little children, men
cannot enter into the Third Kingdom, the
Kingdom of the Holy Ghost, the Kingdom of
the human spirit.
