This gave me life! "He is before all things, and in Him all things consist." Colossians. 1. 17. "If Scripture statements were taken as LITERALLY true, SPIRITUAL LIFE would be a PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE, instead of the ABSTRACTION that it so often is. Nothing is more true than that the religious life of many consists largely in the repetition of certain phrases, the meaning of which they do not comprehend, and which very often have no meaning. All this comes from the habit of making a DISTINCTION between the LITERAL and the SPIRITUAL, -of separating the ordinary, practical, everyday life from the spiritual, religious life. As a matter of fact, the spiritual is the only reality there is. That which is seen only with the natural eyes is temporal; only the unseen is eternal." {September 22, 1898 Ellet J Waggoner, Present Truth UK page 597.9}
