He has discovered that his link with God is not only as a creature of God-a thing of clay which God has breathed into and made a living thing, but that he contains within himself Divinity and can manifest it that man has revealed God and can always reveal Him. This knowledge of the Divinity in man has ever been pro claimed in the sacred mystical teachings and is clearest brought out in the Indian philosophy of which it is an integral part Today, the great Christian ideal is the salvation of the soul, but there were when a completer ideal was presented the Deification of the scul, that man, should put on
