" My Beloved is white and ruddy, chosen out of thousands " : — Jesus Christ is the Beloved. The whiteness is the glory of the Godhead, light of light, dwelling in light inaccessible whom no man hath seou nor can see. The red is the human nature which was drawn from that Adam, who was no named as made of the red clay of the ground. Just as in the face of man it is the inimitable mmglement of the white and red, which gives it its ravishing charm, so the Godhead and manhood, joined together in the one person of Jesus for love of us, steal aw ay our hearts iv the wonders oi their contemplation.— Fr. Collins.
