INTERPRETING THE TIMES.
More than oyer, perhaps, the modern disciple needs the power of the Resurrection to interpret time and what lies beyond time, writes a correspondent in “The Times.” But in the hour of darkest perplexity, the words “what I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter” may bring comfort and patience. Already in most lives there have been episodes which scorned inexplicable when they happened, yet afterward something both of their significance and beneficence was gradually disclosed. But to most people life in its present conditions seems at times to have a dream-like quality, and the quality of an irrational and most unpleasant dream. Possibly, indeed, in a degree beyond our understanding, this may be the ultimate truth about it. Yet its end -will come, when we shall “wake,, and remember, and understand.”
