But faith, as explained by St. James, is an incomplete thing. "Works' are

JAMES 1, 23

Only thus can we enter into the fullness of the spiritual experi-

ence, for only thus shall we prove for ourselves that the life of faith Is the life of friendship.

It has been said of Abraham that his life yas "rooted in fel- lowship with the unseen"; that he was always Hatening and leaning, listening for God's volce in his conselence and obeying it in ab- solute trust. So he was called the Friend of God. The same won- derful status is offered to all whose faith is made perfect in action. It is when directed to this objective that prayer is commun- lon "as friend with friend.", "Yo are My friends," the Saviour sold. "if ye do whatsoever I command you."
