     Chapter 15

     Genesis

     And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac,
     and unto Jacob by the name of God Almighty;
     but by My name Jehovah was I not known to them.--Exodus.

     All things were made by Him;
     and without Him was not anything made that was made.
     In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.--John.

   1      Scientific interpretation of the Scriptures prop-
     erly starts with the beginning of the Old Testa-
   3  ment, chiefly because the spiritual import of

    Spiritual
    interpretation

     the Word, in its earliest articulations, often
     seems so smothered by the immediate context as to
   6  require explication; whereas the New Testament narra-
     tives are clearer and come nearer the heart. Jesus il-
     lumines them, showing the poverty of mortal existence,
   9  but richly recompensing human want and woe with
     spiritual gain. The incarnation of Truth, that amplifi-
     cation of wonder and glory which angels could only
  12  whisper and which God illustrated by light and har-
     mony, is consonant with ever-present Love. So-called
     mystery and miracle, which subserve the end of natural
  15  good, are explained by that Love for whose rest the
     weary ones sigh when needing something more native
     to their immortal cravings than the history of perpetual
  18  evil.
