To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We do not first find Him, but He finds us. It is not the sheep which look for the shepherd : it is the shepherd who searches for the sheep; and, when they hear his voice, they follow ti)t Door* 65 follow him. Even so Christ calls to men : "Behold, I stand at your door and knock. If you will not hear my voice, I cannot enter ; but, if any man will hear my voice, I will come in. " And how shall we think of that forgiveness of our sins for which we pray? It, too, is waiting for us, wait- ing with ...the infinite pathos with which a parent waits for his sinning child, knock- ing at our door, if we will but let it in. There is nothing complicated or mechan- ical or unnatural about the forgiveness of sins. There is only one thing that for- bids it. It is the locked door of our own hearts. See, then, the wonderful simplicity of religion. Here, on the one hand, are our own lives, shut in, limited, and self-ab- sorbed ; and here, on the other hand, are these great powers of the universe, want- ing to get in to us, and between the two only one barrier, the barrier of our own wills.
