Hiding From God

Review and Herald Publishing Association · Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C. · May 12, 1910

A TEACHER once held up a vase of water in which a goldfish was swimming about, and said to the children before him: “See the fish hide. Do you see him now?”

“Yes, sir,” the children shouted.

And as the fish moved in all directions, the question, “Do you see him now?” was repeated, calling forth the same eager reply: “Yes, sir.”

“Can’t he hide from you?” asked the teacher.

“No, sir,” was the reply.

“Why?”

“Because we see through the glass.”

“So,” said the teacher, “God sees right through our hearts. We can not hide from him.”
