NAMEA symbol of perception of difference, whereby one quality is distinguished from another. "Whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof." — GENESIS ii. 19. The primitive lower mind (Adam) began to perceive and reflect upon the differentiations of the sensations, desires, and lower emotions presented to the consciousness. And according as the mind energized the desires, so each emotion was distinguished. Knowledge commences in the perception of differences. "And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." — COL. iii, 17. The qualities are enjoined to identify themselves in all their ideas and activities with the spiritual differentiation denoted by the symbol "Lord Jesus," aspiring through this towards the Absolute. "Upon the pillar thus wrought into the temple of God's loving kingdom there are three inscriptions: 'I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven, and my new name' (REV. iii. 12). The soul that in obedience to God is growing into His likeness is dedicated to the divine love, to the hope of the perfect society, and to the ever new knowledge of redemption and the great Redeemer." — PHILLIPS BROOKS, Serm., The Pillar, etc. |
